4 History andExamination ofNose andPara Nasal Sinuses
– Types of lesions over skin
Ulcer—BCC, SCC Growth—SCC, BCC, granuloma Mass—Rhinophyma Swelling—Inflammatory, traumatic
– Rashes over nose—Buttery or
malar rashes
Buttery rash over the nasal bridge Malar rash in systemic lupus
erythematosus
– Thickening and coarseness—
Hypothyroidism
– A large bulbous nose with a coarse
‘orange skin’ like appearance sug­gests a rhinophyma (Fig.4.7a)
– Check for any telangiectasia on the
nose, face or hands (Fig.4.7b)
• Scars or abnormal creases – Allergic (horizontal) nasal
creases—Allergic rhinitis
– Allergic shiners—Dark circles
under eyes
– Denny—Morgan folds—Skin folds
or eye bags under eyes
– Allergic salute—Itchy nose and
sneezing with the child constantly rubbing the nose upwards
• Swelling over the nose—The differen-
tial diagnoses of a midline nasal mass include inammatory lesions, trau-
matic deformity, benign neoplasms, malignant neoplasms and congenital masses. Congenital midline nasal masses include nasal dermoids, glio­mas and encephaloceles.
• Deformities of nose—Congenital nasal deformities were classied into the following four categories:
– Type I—Hypoplasia and atrophy
(represents paucity, atrophy or under­development of skin, subcutaneous tissue, muscle, cartilage and/or bone)
– Type II—Hyperplasia and duplica-
tions (represents anomalies of excess tissue, ranging from dupli­cations of parts to complete multiples)
– Type III—Clefts (the comprehen-
sive and widely used Tessier clas­sication of craniofacial clefts is applied)
– Type IV—Neoplasms and vascular
anomalies (both benign and malig­nant neoplasms are found in this category)
• Type of tip of nose Bullous tip/bullous tip—A bullous tip is rounded with an enlarged appear­ance of nose. It is caused by rhinophyma. Celestial tip/upturned tip—The tip of nose is projected upward, and the size of nose is small.
4.2 Examination ofNose andParanasal Sinuses
181
Deviated tip—The tip of nose deviated from midline is usually present in deviated nose and crooked nose. Down-turned tip—The tip is directed downward and is usually present in long nose and Nubian nose.
(b) Palpation of external nose: The palpa-
tion of the nose starts from nasion to tip; the examiner presses along the bridge of the nose with both index ngers to feel the bony skeleton and skin thickness. The palpation of the nose is done to assess nasal bone, frontal process of maxilla, upper lateral cartilage, lower lateral carti­lage, dorsum of nose and side of nose for crepitation, tenderness, step ladder defor­mity, etc. The external nose is assessed on various parameters.
• Tenderness – Dorsum of nose—Tenderness on
dorsum is suggestive of fractured nasal bone.
– Side of nose—Fractured nasal
bone, furunculosis, concha bullosa, septal spur
– Tip of nose—Furunculosis, septal
abscess
• Abnormal movements—Examiner
holds the dorsum of nose with the index nger and thumb of the right hand and moves. It is indicative of bilateral nasal bone fracture.
• Crepitation over nose—Examiner
holds the dorsum of nose with the index nger and thumb of the right hand and moves it side by side for any crackling sound. It is suggestive of fractured nasal bone.
• Irregularity—The irregularity of nasal
dorsum or side of nose is suggestive of fractured nasal bone, hump, supratip deformity, wavy dorsum, saddle nose and crooked nose.
• Depression—Supratip depression or
saddle nose.
• Convexity of dorsum—Hump on
dorsum.
• Alignment—Misalignment fractured nasal bone.
• Abnormal movement of nose— Fractured nasal bone.
• Swelling over nose (from nasion to tip)—Meningioma, glioma, meningo­cele, dermoid.
Palpation of specic area of external
nose
– Palpate the nasal bones (upper 1/3
of nose) (Fig.4.8a, b)
Alignment—Fracture, deviated nose, crooked nose Tenderness—Fracture, furuncu­losis Irregularity of dorsum— Suggestive of fracture Crepitation—This is suggestive of fracture
– Palpate the upper lateral cartilage
(middle 1/3 of nose)
Alignment—Deviated nose, crooked nose Tenderness—Furunculosis, fractured nose
– Palpate the alar cartilage (lower 1/3
of nose)
Alignment—Collapsed ala Tenderness—Vestibulitis, furun­culosis
• Palpation of the tip of nose
– Alar recoil—This is done by press-
ing the ala medially and watching for the ala to bounce back into nor­mal position.
– Tip recoil—It is dened as the
inherent strength and support of the nasal tip. It is evaluated by depress­ing the tip towards the upper lip and watching for the tip-supportive structures to bounce back (Fig.4.8c).
2. Examination of Internal Nose: The exami­nation of the internal nose has been divided into examination of the vestibule and exami­nation of nasal cavity proper. To examine the vestibule, the tip of the nose is to be elevated

with thumb so that the vestibule becomes vis­ible. First examine the nasal vestibule, caudal septum location and nasal valve, then nasal cavity proper to be examined with nasal speculum.
(a) Examination of vestibule: This part of
the examination is done without specu­lum to examine the vestibule by carefully elevating the tip of the nose with thumb, so that the vestibule can be inspected for
• Inspect the position of the caudal sep­tum: Midline/dislocation (deviation) to one side
• Inspect the external nasal valve
• Swelling
– Over septum—Septal haematoma,
(b) Examination of nasal cavity proper
septal abscess
– Over oor—Nasolabial cyst – Lateral wall—Dentigerous cyst
• Mass/growth – Septum—Rhinosporidiosis, hae-
mangioma – Floor—Rhinosporidiosis – Lateral wall—Rhinosporidiosis
furunculosis
• Collapse of ala or aring of ala is noted
• Stenosis, adhesions
• Deviated nasal septum—Caudal dislo­cation of septum
• Mass in vestibule—Rhinosporidiosis, nasal polyp

tion of nasal cavity is done with the help of Thudicum or Killian nasal spec­ulum. This is termed as anterior rhinoscopy.
(c) Anterior rhinoscopy: This is an exami-
nation of nasal cavity with the help of nasal speculum and light to visualize the interior of the nose; if required the nasal decongestion is done with xylometazo­line nasal drop (Fig.4.9).
How to use Thudicum nasal speculum— Insert your index nger into the bend of the speculum and support it above with the thumb. The middle and ring ngers are used to manipulate the prongs of the specu­lum. You will be aiming to look at the gap between these two ngers. Press the prongs of the speculum together to allow them to be placed within the nostril and then reduce your grip on the speculum to widen the prongs until an optimal view of the nasal cavity is achieved (Fig.4.9).
• Procedure—Patient is seated in front of the examiner, and a headlight or head mirror is used for illumination. Now a nasal speculum, either Thudicum or Killian held in the right hand and left hand, is used to stabilize the head. Now a closed nasal specu­lum is inserted in the nose in the ves­tibular area and opened to visualize the nose. At the end of examination, the speculum is half closed and removed from nose to avoid entrapping of hair (Fig.4.7b).

4.2.1.2 Special Examination oftheNose
Clinical tests for assessment of nasal air-
ow/nasal patency or functional tests of nose: Nasal airow can be assessed using sev-
eral clinical methods.
Nostril occlusion test—Place your thumb
over the nostril not being assessed to occlude airow. Ask the patient to breathe in and out through their nose and note the degree of airow. Repeat assessment on the other nostril, noting any difference in apparent airow. Reduced airow indicates obstruction (Fig.4.16).
Cold spatula test (Misting test)—Place a
cold shiny surface, such as a metal tongue depressor under the nose. Observe for mist­ing of the metal surface as the patient breathes and compare the misting pattern of the two nostrils (Fig.4.17).
4 History andExamination ofNose andPara Nasal Sinuses
Fig. 4.16 The nostril occlusion test
Fig. 4.17 Cold spatula test
Cotton wool wisp tests—A uff of cotton
to be held against each nostril and move­ment noticed while the patient breathes through the nose.
Cottle test (Cottle’s manoeuvre)—Place
one or two ngers tip on the patient’s cheek on either side of nose, gently press and pull out­ward. This temporarily opens the nasal valve. If doing this helps the patient to inhale more easily through the nose, the nasal obstruction is likely to be in the nasal valve area (Fig.4.18).
Clinical tests for ciliary function (test for ciliary dyskinesia):
Saccharine transit time—This can be
done by placing a small fragment of saccha­rine on the anterior end of the inferior turbi­nate and timing how long it takes the patient to taste it. If the patient tastes the sweetness, this is useful to rule out ciliary dyskinesia, though a negative result is of little value.
Other tests—Other tests for ciliary dyski-
nesia are high-speed video microscopy
