Özet
Nasal congestion affects a large part of the population and is one of the most common symptoms in otolaryngological practice. A detailed history and physical examination are important to reach the diagnosis. Endoscopic examination of the nose is the most valuable examination method in the evaluation of nasal obstruction. In endoscopic examination, nasal mucosa and its features, pathologies of anatomical structures (septal deviation, septal perforation, turbinate hypertrophy etc.), nasal discharge and its characteristics, intranasal masses (polyp, tumor, etc.), and the nasopharynx are evaluated.
