Rhinomanometric Assessment of Nasal Airflow in Deviated Nasal Septum

Sleep apnea syndrome treated by repair of deviated nasal septum.

Sleep apnea syndrome (SAS) often presents a difficult therapeutic problem to the clinician since many of the accepted modes of therapy are associated with only partial success or with a number of long-term complications. We present three patients with obstructive SAS in whom dramatic clinical improvement occurred following repair of a deviated nasal septum. The subjective improvement was associ...

Correlation of asymmetric facial growth with deviated nasal septum.

OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS To evaluate the correlation between growth differences of the face and nasal septal deviation, and to evaluate whether developmental differences of the face have an effect on nontraumatic nasal septal deviation (DNS). STUDY DESIGN Retrospective study. METHODS Twenty-five patients with DNS who underwent facial aesthetic surgery and had an ostiomeatal unit-computed tomog...

Piezoelectric sensing: Evaluation for clinical investigation of deviated nasal septum

Noninvasive objective evaluation of nasal airflow is one of the important clinical aspects. The developed polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) sensor enables measurement of airflow through each side of the nose using its piezoelectric property. This study was designed to evaluate the diagnostic capability of the PVDF sensor in assessing the deviated nasal septum (DNS). PVDF nasal sensor uses its piez...

Minimally Invasive Surgery of Chronic Rhinitis, Deviated Nasal Septum, Rhinosinusitis, and Nasal Polyps

determination of the effect of nasal septoplasty on pulmonary artery pressure in patients with deviated nasal septum

background nasal septal deviation (nsd) can cause upper airway obstruction, which results in hypoxia and therefore, pulmonary vasoconstriction, ventricular hypertrophy and right-sided heart failure. objectives the aim of this study is to determine the mean pulmonary arterial pressure (mpap) of the patients with nsd and the effect of septoplasty on pulmonary arterial pressure. patients and metho...
