Introduction and Objective: In COVID-19, sudden onset anosmia-ageusia can be observed in patients, regardless of other rhinologic symptoms or prominent nasal symptoms. our clinical follow-ups, it has drawn attention that patients presenting with have milder pulmonary progression. It was thought this group were infected neurosensitive SARS-CoV-2 the study planned based on hypothesis. We present ...

OBJECTIVE In 2013, the Japanese Rhinologic Society proposed a simple classification for endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS). This classification consists of five procedures (type I, fenestration of the ostiomeatal complex, with uncinectomy and widening of the natural ostium; type II, single-sinus procedure, with manipulating the inside of the sinus; type III, polysinus procedure; type IV, pansinus p...

Use of endoscopes in the sinonasal cavity dates as far back as the turn of the 20th century with Hirschmann and Reichert performing the first sino-endoscopies and sinus surgeries, respectively. Widespread use was limited until H.H. Hopkins helped address illumination difficulties with the rod optic system in the 1960s and Walter Messerklinger began systematic use of the endoscope to evaluate th...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the association between nasal airway function and Eustachian tube (ET) functions and their impact on tympanoplasty in patients with chronic suppurative otitis media (CSOM). MATERIALS AND METHODS The study group (CSOM group) consisted of 33 patients scheduled to undergo tympanoplasty for CSOM. Two control groups were formed: a nasal septal deviation (NSD) group of 25 pati...

IMPORTANCE External nasal valve dysfunction (EVD) is a common cause of nasal obstruction. OBJECTIVE To evaluate costal cartilage lateral crural strut grafts vs cephalic crural turn-in to support the weak lateral crus in patients with EVD. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS In this prospective cohort study, patients with clinically diagnosed EVD were assessed at the Tertiary Rhinologic Center...

OBJECTIVE The ethmoid bone is arguably the most complex and varied osseous structure in the human body. The partitions within form a unique labyrinth of lamellae and spaces from specimen to specimen or, as in this study, from patient to patient. The surgical anatomy of the ethmoid bone, and the ethmoidal bulla in particular, is ill-defined and heretofore largely unclassified. In an attempt to b...

OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) is a common adult and pediatric sleep disorder, which, if left untreated, is associated with severe medical consequences. Otolaryngologists are often challenged by the impact of OSAS on sinonasal symptoms, as well as by the contribution of primary nasal disorders to exacerbation of OSAS. The objectives of this study are to explore th...
