Saddle nose is caused by the loss of support and structure in the cartilage of the nasal septum and bridge, which can result from trauma, infections, systemic diseases like granulomatosis with polyangiitis, or congenital conditions like congenital syphilis. When the cartilage weakens or collapses, it can lead to the characteristic depression and flattening of the bridge of the nose seen in saddle nose deformity.
