The nasal bone (nazal bone) in babies is evaluated during detailed ultrasound screenings performed between 11-14 weeks in the womb. During this period, absence or small size of the nasal bone is considered an increased risk marker for chromosomal abnormalities such as Down syndrome (trisomy 21), but does not make a diagnosis on its own.
After birth, your baby's nose appearing flat, small, or without a prominent bone protrusion is usually normal — the baby's nasal structure develops over time. Clinically significant conditions are rare; if your baby has persistent nasal congestion, snoring, or facial asymmetry, your pediatrician and possibly a pediatric radiologist will evaluate it.
