Italian term

Alitamento delle pinne nasali

Italian to English Medical Medical: Health Care Obstetrics and Neonatology
I am translating a medical record and the newborn had "Alitamento delle pinne nasali" I've understood what it is (when the nasal linings are wider than normal and flop down and obstruct the passage of air) but is there a technical term for this in English?
Thanks in advance

There isn't really much context it's just on the physical examination of the newborn under the respiratory section. It says "Alimentazione delle pinne nasali": 1. I imagine this is a score given to the newborn regarding different parameters. Nasal flaring is an interesting option! Thanks

Do you have any context Martina? I've found examples of this just meaning "nasal flaring" but as you said, it seems to mean it can cause an obstruction too in some contexts
