Flattened Nose Revealing Syphilitic Aortitis
Journal Title: Journal of Dermatology Research - Year 2023, Vol 4, Issue 1
Abstract
Flattened nose also called syphilis nose is a deformation of the nose due to the destruction of the cartilage of the nasal septum: the lower segment of the nose collapses, undergoes recoil and retract, becoming embedded in the upper segment. It is characteristic of congenital and tertiary syphilis. We report the case of syphilitic aortitis revealed by the flattened appearance of the nose.
