What Is Diagnostic Nasal Endoscopy and When Is It Recommended?
Diagnostic nasal endoscopy is an ENT examination that allows a specialist to look closely inside the nasal passages using a thin instrument with a camera. It can provide a more detailed view when evaluating persistent nasal symptoms.
Why Is Nasal Endoscopy Performed?
An ENT specialist may recommend nasal endoscopy when symptoms such as persistent nasal blockage, recurrent sinus problems, nasal discharge, or reduced sense of smell require a closer examination.
What Can It Help Evaluate?
- Nasal passage abnormalities
- Persistent nasal blockage
- Sinus-related problems
- Inflammation inside the nose
- Other visible nasal abnormalities
How Does It Help?
The procedure provides the ENT specialist with a closer view of areas that may be difficult to examine during a standard examination. This can help support a more accurate clinical assessment.
