SummaryDespite the widespread adoption of nasal endoscopy (NE) in the evaluation of sinonasal disease, its diagnostic potential may still be underutilized. Developments in endoscopic technology have led to significant improvements in video quality and maneuverability. However, there is concern that NE continues to be used primarily for the identification of gross pathology, with relative neglect of more subtle findings such as surface features of inflammation and mucus. With fewer technical limitations to perceive these abnormalities, there is potential to greatly improve the diagnostic value of NE. The reader is herein asked to consider several important visual nuances encountered during NE, with the hope that this engenders an appreciation of the versatility of NE as a diagnostic tool.
