noun
technical
The point on the skull where the two nasal bones meet the frontal bone, at the bridge of the nose.
Nasion is a landmark used in craniometry, orthodontics and forensic anthropology to measure and compare skulls. It marks the midline point at the top of the nose where the frontal bone meets the nasal bones beneath the eyebrows. Doctors use the nasion as a fixed reference point when taking X-rays of the jaw and face for orthodontic treatment. Because its position is consistent across individuals, the nasion also helps identify skeletal remains in forensic work.
