However, the microanatomic studies to identify the segments of most LLC at the nasal tip in Vietnamese are very rare.</p> <p><strong>AIM:</strong> Investigate the macroanatomic and microanatomic characteristics of the LLC and the structures of the nasal tip.</p> <p><strong>METHODS:</strong> Descriptive study, 30 cadaver noses fixed by 10% formalin, 2 cadaver noses fixed by HE in 69 Institutes in Vietnam from December 2017 to April 2019.</p> <p><strong>RESULTS:</strong> The average length of the medial crus is 12.3 mm on the right and 13.2 mm on the left. The maximum intercrural distance is 10.7 mm. The average length of the dome is 3.7 mm and 3.9 mm on the right and left side separately, with 2 subunits are the domal and lobular segment. The average thickness of the tip points is 1.0 mm. The width of the interdomal and intercrural ligaments are 0.5-fold the height and 2-fold the thickness. The thickness of the interdomal fat pad is 3mm and about 0.5-fold the wide.</p> <p><strong>CONCLUSION:</strong> The LLC has 3 parts: intermediate, medial and lateral crus. The microanatomic structures of tip consist of the interdomal ligaments, intercrural ligaments, SMAS and interdomal fat pad.</p>}, number={24}, journal={Open Access Macedonian Journal of Medical Sciences}, author={Khoa, Tran Dang and Tuan, Ho Nguyen Anh and Bac, Nguyen Duy and Van, Nguyen Thanh and Dieu, Pham Dang and Phuong, Nguyen Thi and Nga, Vu Thi and Chu Dinh, Toi}, year={2019}, month={Oct.}, pages={4224–4229} }
