Nasal turbinate hypertrophy causes nasal congestion. Modern treatments effectively reduce turbinate tissue while protecting respiratory mucosa, offering relief for nasal airflow issues.

Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Respiratory Medicine

Background:

  • The nose conditions inhaled air, regulating temperature, humidity, and cleansing.
  • The nasal valve region is critical for airflow dynamics, requiring clear passages and mucociliary function.
  • Lower nasal turbinate hypertrophy is a primary cause of symptomatic nasal congestion.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the causes and treatments for nasal congestion due to lower nasal turbinate hypertrophy.
  • To highlight the effectiveness and safety of modern interventional procedures for turbinate reduction.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of nasal anatomy, physiology, and pathology related to nasal congestion.
  • Discussion of diagnostic tools like rhinometry for unclear cases.
  • Overview of conservative (immunotherapy, corticoids) and interventional treatment options for turbinate hypertrophy.
Keywords:

Main Results:

  • Lower nasal turbinate hypertrophy significantly impairs nasal airflow and causes congestion.
  • Rhinometric procedures aid in diagnosing complex cases of nasal obstruction.
  • Various interventional techniques effectively reduce turbinate tissue.

Conclusions:

  • Modern interventional procedures for turbinate reduction are highly protective of the respiratory mucosa.
  • Effective management of nasal turbinate hypertrophy improves airflow and alleviates congestion.
