  • Vomer: The vomer is an unpaired bone that takes part in the formation of the nasal septum. (1)
  • Ala of vomer: The alas of the vomer are two wing-like projections positioned on either side of the vomer’s superior border. They articulate with the sphenoid bone via the vaginal process of the medial pterygoid plate; and palatine bones via sphenoidal processes.(1)
  • Vomerine groove: The vomerine groove is an oblique groove that is positioned on the vomer’s surface. (1)
  • Vomerine crest of choana: The vomerine crest is the posterior border of the vomer (4)
  • Cuneiform part of vomer: The cuneiform part of the vomer is represented by the anterior part of the bone and has a wedge shape [7]
