Introduction. The aim of this paper is to determine the influence of nasal septum deformity degree on the subjective nasal breathing assessment as well as the existence of correlation between one side of the nose with nasal septum deformity and the subjective feeling of difficulty in breathing on that side in the subjects with different degrees of nasal septum deviation. Material and Methods. The research included 90 randomly chosen patients, who claimed to have nasal breathing difficulties. Every patient assessed subjectively which side of the nose made breathing difficult and scored the breathing on that side from 0 to 10 cm on the visual analogue scale. Results. The patients from the third group described their breathing as the most difficult, while the subjects from the first group claimed that their nasal breathing problems were the least difficult. The subjective feeling of heavy nasal breathing on the deformed nasal septum side was significantly different in all groups (H= 38.466, p= 0.000). In the second and the third group of patients there was a significant correlation between the deformed side of the nose and the subjective heavy breathing on that side (p< 0.05), whereas this correlation was not found in the first group (p> 0.05). Conclusion. The subjective feeling of difficulty in breathing on the deformed side of the nose is intensified with the degree of the nasal septum deformity, thus this feeling was reported only by the subjects with a higher degree of the nasal septum deformity.

“…McCaffrey and Kern 16 as well as Roithman et al 12 have also found a correspondence between these traits. On the other hand, Kim et al 1 , Tomkinson and Eccles 11 as well as Naito et al 17 , Thulesius et al 18 do not find any correspondence between a subjective nose breathing assessment and rhinomanometric findings. Mygind 19 is of the opinion that rhinomanometry has only a scientific importance, whilst its clinical significance is very little.…”

“…It is noninvasive, straightforward, sensitive, and allows repetitive measurements without airflow in the nasal cavity. 3,[7][8][9] With this technique, a wave tube is connected to the nasal cavity and a sound wave is generated. The reflected wave is collected via microphone, amplified, and digitalized.…”

Studies regarding nasal bone fractures have mainly focused on esthetic aspects, but the nose also plays an important role as an airway. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the influence of nasal bone fractures and the treatment of nasal bone fractures on nasal obstruction. Nasal bone fractures were classified by fracture site and septal displacement. Nasal airways were investigated at 3 time points: before reduction (n = 84), 6 days postreduction (n = 84), and 1-year postreduction (n = 27). Airway changes were based on minimal cross-sectional area measurements. The severity of airway obstruction following fracture differed according to the fracture site and the presence of septal displacement. Bilateral fractures caused more profound airway obstruction than unilateral or tip fractures and septal displacement was the most important parameter in nasal obstruction. Airway obstruction improved immediately after reduction by 21% and deteriorated by 4% 1-year postreduction.
