Abstract

|
|
Nasal valve compromise (NVC) is a common source of nasal airway obstruction, with multipleeffective methods for correction. However, there has been the absence of a gold standardtest to diagnose the specific source of NVC. Currently, history and physical exam are keymeasures for distinguishing the NVC from the other anatomical abnormalities. However,there remain ambiguities and disparities in the clinically effectiveness regarding the nasal endoscopy,physiologic measurements (acoustic rhinometry and rhinomanometry), and anatomicalmeasurement (CT). Ideally, an objective preoperative test would be able to determine thecause for NVC and therefore guide the patient specific surgical strategy. The aim of this studywas to make a clinical recommendation to solve these issues in the diagnosis of NVC and wereview the methods concerning the various diagnostic tools and NVC.
