This article presents a diagnostic protocol for nasal disease evaluation that provides consistent success in diagnosis of chronic cases. The protocol includes history, physical examination, blood clinical pathology assessment, radiographs, culture and sensitivity tests, rhinoscopy, histopathology, fungal serology, and allergy screening. The sequence of diagnostic procedures and their techniques are discussed, and rhinoscopic appearance of the normal nasal cavity is presented, along with findings of commonly seen nasal diseases, including neoplasia, mycotic rhinitis and sinusitis, foreign body obstruction, dental disease, allergic rhinitis, bacterial rhinitis, and idiopathic rhinitis. Rhinoscopy is a highly effective diagnostic technique with minimal morbidity and mortality that has virtually eliminated the need for exploratory rhinotomy.
本文介绍了一种用于鼻腔疾病评估的诊断方案，该方案在慢性病诊断中取得了一致的成功。该方案包括病史、体格检查、血液临床病理学评估、X光片、培养及药敏试验、鼻镜检查、组织病理学、真菌血清学和过敏筛查。文中讨论了诊断程序的顺序及其技术，并展示了正常鼻腔的鼻镜检查外观，以及常见鼻腔疾病的检查结果，包括肿瘤、霉菌性鼻炎和鼻窦炎、异物阻塞、牙病、过敏性鼻炎、细菌性鼻炎和特发性鼻炎。鼻镜检查是一种高效的诊断技术，发病率和死亡率极低，几乎不再需要进行探查性鼻切开术。
