Where is the vomer bone located?




The vomer bone (from the Latin, meaning “plowshare”) is part of the nasal septum, which divides the nose into left and right halves. A deviated septum, often occurring when the nasal septum has a bend in it, may cause chronic sinusitis and blockage of the smaller nasal cavity. The deviated septum can usually be corrected or improved by surgery.
