We used acoustic rhinometry to assess the geometry of the nasal cavity. The cross-sectional area of the nasal cavity as a function of distance from the nostrils was obtained. Seventeen patients with hypertrophy of the inferior turbinate and septal deviations were examined preoperatively and postoperatively; 34 normal subjects served as controls. The cross-sectional area at the anterior part of the nose suggested that skeletal hypertrophy of the inferior turbinate might be expected in the side opposite the main septal deviation. Unilateral inferior turbinoplasty seems advisable.
我们使用鼻声反射仪来评估鼻腔的几何形态。获得了鼻腔横截面积随距鼻孔距离的变化情况。对17例下鼻甲肥大和鼻中隔偏曲患者进行了术前和术后检查；34名正常受试者作为对照。鼻前部的横截面积表明，在主要鼻中隔偏曲对侧可能存在下鼻甲骨质肥大。单侧下鼻甲成形术似乎是可取的。
