OBJECTIVE: To design a cost effective, handy, easy to fabricate, ergonomic nasal speculum with a built-in light source. DESIGN: Instrumentation SETTING: Tertiary Government Hospital MATERIALS AND METHODS: Two 3cc syringes were mounted on each side of a nasal speculum to serve as battery cases for the two 1.5 volts battery. A laryngoscope bulb, connected to a metallic plate, made from the two long arms of a paper fastener, was then suspended from the speculum screw, with the bulb positioned in between the speculum blades. An electric wire connected the batteries and the metallic plate. The upper negative pole wire was connected to a ballpen spring and was glued near the fulcrum. The device illuminates automatically with opening of the speculum blades. RESULTS: Nasal speculite provided comparable visualization of the nasal cavity as that with a nasal speculum with head mirror and light source. The illumination was adequate and there was no more need for light focusing. There were no complaints of discomfort from the subjects. CONCLUSION: The Nasal speculite is a cost effective, handy, easy to fabricate ergonomic instrument that can be used by the ENT specialist at his/her own convenience, obviating the need for head mirrors and light source, in the examination of the nasal cavities.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: There have been some reports about acoustic analysis of nasality changes after endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS), but no studies on the relationship between acoustic and volumetric changes of rhinosinus. The aims of this study were to measure and follow the postoperative course of nasal formant and spectral changes of nasal consonants and vowels, to evaluate the relationship between these acoustic and volumetric changes of rhinosinus, and to estimate the effect of rhinosinus as a nasal tract on nasal resonance after operation. MATERIAL AND METHODS: The changes of formants and spectral pattern were evaluated in 30 patients before ESS, and one, three and 12 months after ESS. Axial CT planes of 10 patients taken before and one month after the surgery were used for measuring the resonant volume of rhinosinus. RESULTS: The first formant was decreased when ESS was carried out one month after the surgery. However, it almost recovered to the preoperative level within 3 postoperative months. Twelve months after the surgery, the first formant did not show statistically significant differences compared to those of the preoperative state and the postoperative 1 month. The increment of resonant volume in rhinosinus was not correlated with the degree of decrement of the first formant one month after the surgery. CONCLUSION: Having a proper nasal cavity and the sinuses are important for nasality since hypernasality observed in the postoperative 1 month is thought to be caused by significantly increased resonant volume of the nasal tract. Compensatory control of velopharyngeal port as well as the resonant volume of the nasal tract are important factors to changes in nasality.

We studied whether the structure and size of nasal cavity around osteotomy site had an influence on the success rate of endoscopic endonasal dacryocystorhinostomy [DCR]. Endoscopic endonasal DCR was performed on 80 eyes of 72 patients who had obstruction of nasolacrimal system.We graded nasal cavity around osteotomy site according to the diameter of drill which could pass[grade I:7 mmdrill can pass, grade II:5 mmdrill can pass, grade III:3 mmdrill can pass, grade IV:3 mmdrill cannot pass].The primary success rate is 70%[56 eyes] and final success rate is 81.3%[65 eyes]after secondary operation was perfomed on 14 eyes of 24 failed eyes in primary operation.Primary success rate was 78.8%[41/52 eyes]and 53.6%[15/28 eyes]in grade I-II and grade III-IV, respectively.Final success rate was 86.5%[45/52 eyes]and 71.4%[20/28 eyes]in grade I-II and grade III-IV, respectively.The difference of success rates according to nasal cavity size is stastically significant[P<0.05] and the relation of nasal septum deviation to small nasal cavity is stastically significant[P<0.05].We found canalicular obstruciton in 5 of 14 eyes during secondary operation which was not found in primary speration, and it was suspected to have been caused by mechanical trauma to canalicular system during operation.

As the imaging techniques and the endoscopic procedures have improved, reports about structural variations of the nasal cavity have increased. The bifid inferior turbinate is an extremely rare variation of the nasal cavity and only four cases have been reported to this date. All cases with a bifid inferior turbinate had absence of the uncinate process. Therefore, these findings were interpreted as the bifid inferior turbinates originating from the uncinate process. Here we report a case of bifid inferior turbinate without any combined variation including missing uncinate process. The patient had no history of trauma or nasal surgery. We present this case as the first report of a "true" bifid inferior turbinate with a review of the relevant literature.

The term concha bullosa describes aerated turbinate and it is most common on middle turbinate. Symptoms of concha bullosa depends on the amount of pneumatization and location. Concha bullosa without symptoms does not need surgical treatment, however, surgical treatment is indicated when it causes nasal obstruction. There are many reports of concha bullosa because it is a common anatomic variation. Despite many reports of concha bullosa, there is no definite statistics on the size of concha bullosa, and there has been no reports on what its largest size is. This report deals with a giant concha bullosa of middle trubinate of 4.5 cm in length, 2.2 cm in width size causing complete nasal obstruction.
