Abstract:
One hundred patients were inspected after anamnesis by the mirror test by Glatzel, by anterior rhinoscopy, and anterior rhinomanometry in order to judge the passage of the nose. The results of the several parameters were compared on the base of an unitary scale. Fifty two percent of the patients had a full and 43% a partial conformity of the parameters. In 5% of all cases all parameters were divergent. The mirror test is available as screening method. The high expressiveness of rhinoscopy and rhinomanometry for the diagnosis of the restricted nasal breathing is explained.
