Nasal obstruction is brought about by many factors. The degree of filling of the submucous vascular plexus represents and important factor in this, but it is subject to a variety of influences and it is quantitatively rather unknown. In this study the influence of submucous congestion on nasal airway resistance is investigated in patients with complaints of nasal obstruction before and after septal surgery. The submucous congestion appeared to be the major determinant and was remarkably reduced after surgery. Local anatomical factors apparently are able to influence the behaviour of the submucous tissues in the nose, possibly by a mechanism of reflex origin.
鼻阻塞由多种因素引起。黏膜下血管丛的充血程度是其中一个重要因素，但它受到多种影响，且在数量上尚不清楚。在本研究中，对鼻中隔手术前后有鼻阻塞症状的患者，研究了黏膜下充血对鼻气道阻力的影响。结果显示黏膜下充血是主要决定因素，手术后明显减轻。局部解剖因素显然能够影响鼻腔内黏膜下组织的状态，可能是通过一种反射机制。
