Abstract:

Aims

The study aims to emphasize the efficacy of nasal endoscopy in diagnosing nasal pathology over clinical examination. As well as to define applications of nasal endoscopy.

Methodology

Total number of cases were 75 patients retrospectively recorded. The research was carried out at the Al-Salam Teaching Hospital; ear nose and throat department in Nineveh Province, Iraq. Patients who presented with nasal symptoms such as nasal obstruction, runny nose, bleeding from the nose, nasal mass, foul breath, and foreign body in the nose, and patients who were older than 20 years old were eligible for inclusion in the study. Patients who had an acute infection of the nose and paranasal sinuses, as well as patients who were younger than 20 years old, were not allowed to participate. Authors performed both a comprehensive history and an ENT examination.

Results Highest percent for age range distributed equally between (20-29 and 30-39 Years) with a percent 44.0% for each group. Female show the outmost percent (57.3 %). Nasal discharge; bleeding and obstruction record the peak percent with slight differences subsequently (21.3, 18.7 and 17.3). More than quarter of patients show no complications. Twelve patients manifest synechia as the maximum one. Conclusion Nasal endoscopy offers high diagnostic accuracy in patient with sinonasal complaints. Also, can be considered as gold standard tool in patient having sinonasal complaints. Vision control, has less bleeding, minimal complication, and early postoperative recovery reflect why the nasal endoscopy crucial.
