INTRODUCTION
Nasal obstruction is a sensation of blockage or diculty in breathing out of one or both nostrils. is can be seen with diseases like rhinitis, sinusitis, septal deviation, and adenoid hypertrophy. ere is also a physiological nasal cycle—cyclical pattern of turbinate mucosal swelling alternating between sides at intervals of 2–5 hours.
Nasal obstruction may also be divided into mucosal and structural causes:
Mucosal causes: e obstruction tends to uctuate. e common causes
are rhinitis, sinusitis, nasal polyp, and soft tissue turbinate hypertrophy.
Structural causes: It is progressive. e causes are septal deviation
(cartilaginous or bony), concha bullosa (air cell in the middle turbinate), tumors (benign and malignant), and choanal atresia/stenosis.
Etiological classication of the causes of nasal obstruction is listed in Table 26.1.

Diurnal and seasonal variation: Allergies
Precipitating factors: Allergic stimuli and airborne exposures
Rhinosinusitis: Facial pain/or pressure, congestion, headache, and purulent nasal discharge
Malignancy: Facial deformity, cranial nerve involvement (facial numb­ness), and epistaxis
Drugs:
• Oral contraceptives, antithyroid medication, antihypertensive,
antidepressants, and benzodiazepines
Local: Prolong use of nasal drops (rhinitis medicamentosa).
Part of systemic illness: Wegener’s granulomatosis, cystic brosis, sarcoi- dosis, and syphilis.
CLINICAL EXAMINATION
Local Examination
Examine neck for cervical lymphadenopathy if nasal malignancy is suspected.
Nose
Occluded nasal passage by boggy, red nasal mucosa (allergies, nonallergic rhinitis, or overuse of nasal decongestants)
Septal deviation
Glistening, smooth, pale single (AC polyp), or multiple (ethmoidal) nasal mass at the level of the middle turbinate or midnasal cavity (polyp)
Purulent nasal discharge (rhinosinusitis)
Ulcerated, friable mucosa bleeds on touch (granulomatous disease or malignancies).
Granulomas:
Syphilis: Granular lesion on septum with history and biopsy plus
serology clinches diagnosis.
Lupus vulgaris/tuberculosis: It involves nasal vestibule and slowly
destructive. Granulation tissue/ulceration and mucopurulent discharge.
Sarcoid: Systemic disease. Lesion involves septum or lateral wall
and secondarily infection causing serosanguineous discharge. Patient complain of general ill health and disgurement.
Wegener’s granulomatosis: Systemic condition aecting lungs
and kidney. Any unusual appearance in the nose and unexplained septal perforation need further investigation.
Fungi:
Aspergillosis: Acute form in immune-compromise patients can be very
aggressive and potentially fatal. It can extend from nose to sinuses and cranial cavity as well as into the soft tissue of face. Chronic form is not life threatening.
Mucormycosis: Fulminant infection and rapidly fatal. Nasal blockage
363Chapter 26 Approach to Nasal Obstruction
Nose benign tumors/granulomas:
Papilloma:
Squamous: Wart-like growth arising from vestibular skin if
trauma can bleed.
Inverted: Considered as intermediate tumors. Arises from lateral
nasal wall and involve maxillary and ethmoid sinuses. Tumor is soft, friable, and bleed with hard nose blowing.
Angioma:
Fibroangioma of septum: Pedunculated friable red lesion arising
from septum, bleed on touch. Seen in adults.
Angioma of sinuses: Maxillary and ethmoids in early childhood
and presents with frightening epistaxis.
Section 7 Clinico-Radiological Approach364
Fibroma: Rare soft pedunculated lesions
Ossifying broma: Frequent in 2nd and 3rd decades. Usually
involve maxillary and ethmoid sinuses. It causes local discomfort and expansion, present with rm cheek swelling, and unilateral obstruction.
Osteomas: Common in 2nd–4th decades and mostly incidental
ndings. 70% are in frontal, 25% in ethmoid, and 5% are in maxillary and sphenoid sinuses.
Fibrous dysplasia: Fibro-osseous thickening of facial bones. Present
as swelling around orbit, cheek, or alveolus. Present in 1st and 2nd decades of life. It can be monostotic or polyostotic.
Miscellaneous:
Rhinosporidiosis: It presents as bleeding polypus. Typical appearance
is strawberry like.
Rhinolith: Calcareous mass in the nose. Rough hard object in the nose.
Nasopharynx
Carcinoma: It mostly arises in lateral wall of nasopharynx (fossa of Rosenmuller) and present as mucosa covered mass or ulcerative lesion. ese patients have multiple neck metastases.
Angiobroma: Mucosa covered mass in the nasopharynx, nose with bleeding in a adolescent male is typical feature.
DIAGNOSTIC IMAGING
Only indicated if diagnosis is not clear based upon the history and physical examination.
Computed tomography (CT) scan of the nose and paranasal sinuses is the primary diagnostic imaging modality.
Magnetic resonance imaging: Generally a secondary study and is indicated for better characterization of nasal tumors.
IMAGING FINDINGS
While interpreting imaging ndings as elsewhere clinical details should be taken into consideration including age, symptom, duration of illness, and any systemic comorbidities/symptoms.
Multiple factors guide the radiological dierential diagnosis such as— location, bone expansion, bone destruction, soft tissue signal, and calcica­tion. Some of the factors are common to sinus masses and discussed in Chapter 4. In the nasal cavity the location is an important determinant and the lesions have been classied accordingly (Table 26.2).

365Chapter 26 Approach to Nasal Obstruction
Nasoethmoidal Lesions (Figs. 26.1 to 26.3)
Most of the lesions are described in detail in Chapter 23. Due to close proximity of the nasal roof and the anterior ethmoid cells the lesions aecting them are often considered together.
Lesions in this region:
• May arise intracranially and extend downward
• May arise from within the sinonasal cavity
• Also there are lesions which may arise on either side of the skull base (i.e. intracranial or sinonasal), e.g. schwannoma.
is is because olfactory nerves pass through the pores of the cribriform plate to the olfactory bulbs intracranially, and the tumors can arise anywhere along this path.
Osseous lesions (primary or secondary) may arise from the anterior skull base (ASB) or from the osseous structures within the sinonasal cavity/its walls.
Lesions from the orbit can spread into the ethmoid cells.
Some critical points are highlighted and are further covered in detail in relevant chapters.

• e close proximity of this region to the ASB result in spread of diseases
intracranially, and similarly to the orbit.
• Disease spread may be direct (with bone erosion), through valveless
diploic veins that traverse the fovea ethmoidalis (roof of ethmoid) or along olfactory nerves that traverse the cribriform plate (roof of nose).
• Variant anatomy of ASB always to be borne in mind when endoscopic
surgery planned in this region.
• Cerebrospinal uid (CSF) rhinorrhea can occur in fractures aecting
the lesion. Small defects in cribriform plate/lateral lamella can be normal and are confusing when imaging for site of leak.
• e nasal roof is the part of the nose fullling its “smell function”. Olfac-
tory bulb abnormalities may be seen in those with smell disorders.
• Postnatally the opacication of midline ASB is very variable. Awareness
of normal variants versus abnormal defects of cribriform plate, crista galli, and foramen cecum is critical when imaging congenital sinonasal lesions.
