Abstract
Deviated nasal septum is one of the most commonly encountered nasal anatomical abnormalities. Various studies showed that deviated nasal septum results in the osteo-meatal complex disease and compensatory turbinate hypertrophy. But only a few studies described the association between type and degree of angle of deviated nasal septum and measured the angle of septal deviation and explore its effect in causation of nasal symptomatology. Hence, this study was undertaken with the aim to study the relation between type and degree of septal deviation with nasal symptomatology and to measure the degree of septal deviation. This was an observational study and data collection was done from August 2017 to August 2019. A total 52 patients with symptomatic deviated nasal septum were studied. Higher septal deviation caused symptoms in 73% of cases and severe degree of angle of septal deviation caused symptoms in 63% of cases. High and severe deviated nasal are more associated with nasal symptoms. Therefore, we could derive a correlation between the cases with higher septal deviation and incidence of nasal symptoms.
