“…This finding is similar to other studies conducted previously. 8,9 Mladina type 5 & 6 seems more common in nontraumatic group whereas type 1, 2 & 4 more common in traumatic group, which is significant ( Chi square test, p-value=0.02) as found in our study. Similar findings have been reported in other study also.…”

“…More than 80% of humans harbor one or the other type of nasal septal deformity. 8,9 Anterior and posterior rhinoscopy is the standard method of examination of nose and the cavity. One study found that nasal endoscopy is a very useful tool for the assessment of the nasal septal deformity.…”

Background: Nasal Septal deviation is a frequently found entity in ENT OPD. The objective of the study was to describe the clinical presentations of deviated nasal septum, classify them according to the Mladina’s system and find out the relation of trauma with the type of septal deviation. Methods: One hundred fifty cases of septal deviation were classified according to Mladina’s classification, after thorough interview, nasal examination and nasal endoscopy. Data were analyzed with SPSS version 21, after tabulation. Chi-square test was applied as the test of significance. Results: Out of 150 cases of septal deviation, Male 82 (54.6%) outnumbered the female patients 68 (45.3%). Most of these patients were of second and third decade (20-40 years age group). The most common presenting complaint was that of nasal obstruction 121(80.6%), headache68 (45.3%) and nasal discharge52(34.6%). 78(52%) of patients revealed history of trauma. Type II 32 (21.3%) and Type V 31 (20.6%) were the commonest followed by Type III 24(16%). Conclusions: Nasal septal deviation is a common presentation in ENT OPD. Mladina’s classification found Type II and Type V to be quite common. Nasal obstruction, headache and rhinorrhea are frequent associated complaints. Nasal endoscopy is very important for the diagnosis, especially of posterior deflections.

“…In contrast, a study by Rehman et al reported area 1 (19%) had the most frequent septal deviation followed by area 3 (10.48%) and area 4 (7%). 21 The deviation was also seen in combinations of areas 2, 3 and 4 (21.44%) followed by area 2 and 3 (20.04%).…”

Background: Deviation of normal pulmonary functions leads to dysfunction of the respiratory system and this affects the functions and vitality of other related systems. Pulmonary function tests give valuable information on the state of airways, lung volumes and lung function. Hence, the present study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of septoplasty on pulmonary function tests in symptomatic deviated nasal septum cases.Methods: A total of 35 patients (septoplasty: 31; septorhinoplasty: 4) with deviated nasal septum were involved in the study. Demographic data, clinical and physical examination including anterior and posterior rhinoscopy was performed. RMS Helios 702 spirometer was used to perform pre- and postoperative pulmonary function tests. Forced vital capacity (FVC), forced expiratory volume (FEV1) in 1 second, peak expiratory flow rate, and the ratio of FEV1 to FVC were the parameters measured. SPSSV. 17 was used to analyse the data. Results: The deviation was most commonly seen on the left side (54%), affecting mostly the cartilaginous septum (54%). Among patients with septoplasty, the postoperative values of FVC (p<0.05), FEV1 (p<0.05), and peak expiratory flow (p<0.05) were higher than the preoperative values and the results were statistically significant. Age, gender, laterality and duration of deviation, headache and inferior turbinate hypertrophy did not play a significant role in the enhancement of pulmonary functions after septoplasty.Conclusions: A favorable outcome in pulmonary function was observed in patients with deviated nasal septum after septoplasty. However, due to limited sample size, it is advisable to conduct the study in a larger sample to validate these results.

Burun tıkanıklığı olan hastalarda nazal septum deviasyonu ile yakınmalar arasındaki ilişki Relationship between nasal septal deviation and complaints in patients with nasal obstructionİbrahim Korhan Deviasyon tipleri ile yaş ve cinsiyet arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı farklılık saptanmaz iken (p=0.1), NSD tipi ile burun tıkanıklığı şiddeti arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı farklılık saptandı (p=0.000).Sonuç: Burun tıkanıklığı olan hastalarda NSD tipi dahil tüm parametreler değerlendirilmelidir. Cerrahi kararı verilirken burun tıkanıklığının şiddeti, tarafı ve NSD tipi dikkate alın-malıdır.Anahtar sözcükler: Burun tıkanıklığı; nasal septum deviasyon tipi; nasal septum deviasyonu. ABSTR ACTObjectives: This study aims to investigate the relationship between deviation and complaints in patients with nasal septal deviation (NSD) admitted with nasal obstruction and whether NSD type affects severity of nasal obstruction. Patients and Methods:The study included 65 patients (45 males, 20 females; mean age 36.6 years; range 18 to 67 years) who admitted to our clinic with nasal obstruction complaint, were diagnosed as NSD, and advised surgical treatment between April 2013 and June 2013. Patients were evaluated using visual analog scale and Mladina classification.
