Overview

Analysis reveals persistent nasal obstruction is often due to nasal valve dysfunction, indicating a need for increased awareness in treatment approaches.

Key Points

  • To investigate the prevalence and structural deficiencies of nasal valve dysfunction and its contribution to nasal obstruction.
  • Analyzed 4440 medical records from an otorhinolaryngology department between 2015 and 2024.
  • Identified 131 patients with nasal valve dysfunction.
  • Conducted standard ENT examinations and various diagnostic tests.
  • Nasal valve narrowing seen in 2.95% of cases.
  • External nasal valve dysfunction occurred in 69.5% of patients.
  • Internal nasal valve dysfunction found in 51.1% of patients.
  • Common issues for external dysfunction included cartilage deformation and tissue hypertrophy.
  • Internal dysfunction predominantly involved upper cartilage instability and rhinoscoliosis.
