Abstract

Nasal airway obstruction is the source of significant patient discomfort and financial burden; hence, otolaryngologists encounter this symptom on an almost daily basis. This article provides a thorough yet concise summary of common and more specialized techniques that are instrumental in diagnosing nasal obstruction. The article begins with a brief overview of significant nasal anatomy and physiology. Ultimately, the main focus is on exploring the role of nasal endoscopy, radiographic imaging, acoustic rhinomanometry and other diagnostic tests that assist in the diagnosis of nasal airway obstruction.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
