Résumé
Des données recueillies dans la littérature, il ressort que le développement postnatal normal, spécifiquement humain, du rhino-pharynx est fortement influencé par les mécanismes d'inflexion de la base crânienne. Il s'accompagne de changements de modalités physiologiques touchant autant les choanes que le voile et les trompes d'Eustache. Les troubles de la ventilation nasale peuvent l'affecter en exagérant la posture cranio-cervicale en extension.
Abstract
From the data collected in literature, it appears that the specifically human normal postnatal development of the rhinopharynx is strongly influenced by the inflexion mechanisms of the cranial base. It is accompanied by changes of physiological modalities affecting likewise the choanae, the velum and the Eustachian tubes. It may be altered by nasal ventilation disorders which will exaggerate the craniocervical posture in extension.
