Journal Title: Medpulse International Journal of ENT - Year 2019, Vol 10, Issue 3
Abstract
Aims and Objectives: to correlate nasal septal deviations and external nasal deformities. Materials and Methods- A total of 100 patients between age group of 18 to 50 years attending the OPD of SMGS Hospital, GMC Jammu between March 2018 to February 2019 were included in our study. All patients with deviated nasal septum with or without external nasal deformity were examined clinically using anterior rhinoscopy and nasal endoscopy. In our study, we classified nasal septal deviations according to Mladina Classification; Yong Ju Jang classification was used for external nasal deformity. Results: According to Mladina classification, most common type in our study was Type 4 nasal septal deviation. According to Yong Ju Jang classification, type 1 was the most common type of external nasal deformity observed in our study. Then, by correlating nasal septal deviations and external nasal deformity, type 4 deviated nasal septum was associated with type 1 external nasal deformity. Type 1 and 5 deviated nasal septum had no correlation with external deformity in our study. Conclusion: According to our study, it can be concluded that there is a close correlation between nasal septal deviation and external nasal deformity. Both entities have to be analysed together so as to have a better functional and cosmetic outcomes.
