With the increasing pollution and urban life, nasal blockage and sinus problems are increasing by the day. Nasal blockage, headache, sinusitis, allergic cold, nasal bleeding and nasal polyps and tumours need to be diagnosed at the earliest and treated. We have list of most common nasal problems for your reference which will be useful to educate and understand your concerns.
The nasal septum separates the left and right airways in the nose, dividing the two nostrils. It is depressed by the depressor septi nasi muscle. in which mature lamellar bone is removed by osteoclasts and replaced by woven bone of greater thickness, cellularity and vascularity.
Details
A deviated septum occurs when your nasal septum, the thin wall that separates your right and left nasal passages is displaced to one side.
Details
Submucosal resection (SMR) of the nose is a surgical procedure used to treat a deviated septum. This procedure is also called a septoplasty. According to some sources, septoplasty differs from SMR in that during an SMR, large portions of tissue are removed while a septoplasty is a "tissue sparing" procedure.

This occurs due the wearing off effect of adrenaline and usually occurs within the first 48 hours after surgery.

Sinusitis occurs when the spaces inside your nose and head (sinuses) are swollen and inflamed.
Details
It is a procedure done both for diagnosis and treatment of sinusitis, where a canula is inserted into the maxillary sinus via an opening made in the inferior meatus.

Antrochoanal nasal polyp is a prolapsed, pedunculated, painless, pearly white oedematous nasal mucosa, lining the maxillary sinus.
Details
It is a surgical opening made on the anterior wall of the maxilla via the canine fossa to visualize and remove disease from the maxillary sinus.
Details
Ethmoidal polyps are multiple, bilateral, painless, pearly white, grape like masses arising from the ethmoidal air cells.
Details
Caldwell Luc surgery can be done for patient above 16 years and in case of recurrent Polyps apart from FESS.
Details
Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery (FESS) permits the direct visualization and treatment of various parts of the nasal cavities and sinuses which are otherwise inaccessible surgically.

It is an IgE, mediated hypersensitivity disease of the nasal mucous membrane.
Details
Epistaxis (nosebleed) is one of the most common ear, nose, and throat (ENT) emergencies that present to the emergency room or primary care. There are two types of nosebleeds: anterior (more common), and posterior (less common, but more likely to require medical attention).

They are benign, very vascular and biologically aggressive tumors, originating almost exclusively from posterior nasal and nasopharyngeal region in adolescent males.

Nasal polyps are painless and benign (not cancerous) growths. They’re found in nasal passages and sinuses, hollow spaces in the bones around your nose. They form from mucous membranes — thin, soft tissue that lines these body parts.
Details
Atrophic Rhinitis is a chronic inflammatory nasal disease characterized by progressive atrophy of the mucosa, and underlying bone of the turbinates. There is a viscid secretion in the nose which rapidly dries and forms crusts which emits a characteristic foul odour called ozaena and the patient himself suffers from anosmia.
