Nasal, Septal, and Turbinate Anatomy and Embryology 193
David Neskey, Jean Anderson Eloy, and Roy R. Casiano
This article discusses the development and anatomy of the nasal septum
and structures of the lateral nasal wall. Emphasis is placed on anatomic
variations associated with surgically correctable nasal obstruction. Com-
mon variations, such as deviated nasal septum, inferior turbinate hyper-
trophy, paradoxic middle turbinate, and concha bullosa, are discussed.
Rare developmental causes of nasal obstruction are briefly outlined.
Diagnosis of Nasal Airway Obstruction 207
Rakesh Kumar Chandra, Monica Oberoi Patadia, and Joey Raviv
Nasal airway obstruction is the source of significant patient fort and
financial burden; hence, otolaryngologists encounter this symptom on an
almost daily basis. This article provides a thorough yet concise summary
mon and more specialized techniques that are instrumental in diag-
nosing nasal obstruction. The article begins with a brief overview of signif-
icant nasal anatomy and physiology. Ultimately, the main focus is
on exploring the role of nasal endoscopy, radiographic imaging, acoustic
rhinomanometry and other diagnostic tests that assist in the diagnosis of
nasal airway obstruction.
Endoscopic Sinus Surgery in the Management of Nasal Obstruction 227
Bruce K. Tan and Andrew P. Lane
Nasal obstruction is the leading symptom observed among patients who
have chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) with or without nasal polyposis. After fail-
ure of medical therapy, functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) has
emerged as the preferred treatment of CRS. Interestingly, although pa-
tient-reported es show unequivocal relief of nasal obstruction after
FESS, studies measuring nasal airflow and resistance demonstrate more
modest improvements. This article provides an overview of the physiology
