Ball valve nasal obstruction following incomplete inferior turbinectomy.
An interesting case is presented of a 53-year-old male who was seen with a 10-year history of intermittent, unilateral nasal obstruction following a bilateral total inferior turbinectomy. A pedunculated mass was seen in the right posterior nasal space acting as a ball valve. This was removed and found to be residual turbinate tissue.
متن کاملHow we do it: radiofrequency-turbinectomy for nasal obstruction symptoms.
Radiofrequency energy has been reported to be effective to reduce nasal obstruction because of inferior turbinate hypertrophy. A total of 158 patients who had undergone such surgery are reported. Three to 30 months postoperatively 85% of the patients reported a marked decrease in nasal obstruction. This was irrespective of a short-term or a long-term follow-up, and was applicable to patients th...
متن کاملImpact of Middle versus Inferior Total Turbinectomy on Nasal Aerodynamics.
OBJECTIVES This computational study aims to (1) use virtual surgery to theoretically investigate the maximum possible change in nasal aerodynamics after turbinate surgery, (2) quantify the relative contributions of the middle and inferior turbinates to nasal resistance and air conditioning, and (3) quantify to what extent total turbinectomy impairs the nasal air-conditioning capacity. STUDY D...
متن کاملEfficacy of inferior turbinate coblation for treatment of nasal obstruction.
OBJECTIVE To determine the efficacy of inferior turbinate coblation for the treatment of nasal obstruction. METHODS Twenty patients awaiting submucosal diathermy to the inferior turbinates were recruited into the study. All underwent inferior turbinate coblation. Pre-operative and post-operative nasal function was investigated using posterior rhinomanometry and subjective symptom scales. RE...
متن کاملImportance of Treating Compensatory Hypertrophy of Inferior Turbinate in Cases of Septal Deviation Causing Nasal Obstruction
150 patients of Deviated nasal septum with compensatory hypertrophy of inferior turbinate on the contra lateral side were taken in the study. Compensatory hypertrophy was established by Endoscopic methods as well as radiologically (X-ray and CT scans were done) Since no definite criteria of nasal obstruction is available in literature hence a criteria of 4 mm nasal patency [3] was taken as adeq...
