Acoustic Rhinometry in the Evaluation of Nasal Obstruction

January 1, 1995Related to Nasal Obstruction, Rhinometer Studies

Laryngoscope, 1995

Authors: R. Roithmann, P. Cole, J. Chapnik, I. Shpirer, V. Hoffstein, N. Zamel

Conclusion: “From a clinical point of view, the area-distance function curve [acoustic rhinometry] helps the clinician to differentiate objectively and quantify the mucosal and the structural component of nasal obstruction and to assess results of medical and/or surgical treatment. AR findings must be considered in association with those of anterior rhinoscopy or nasal endoscopy to be correctly interpreted because different pathological conditions can produce similar curves. The main advantages of the technique are that it is noninvasive, painless, rapidly performed, and highly reproducible.”
