Ten patients with lepromatous leprosy have been studied to detect intranasal pathology by conventional naked eye rhinoscopy and also by use of the surgical microscope. The comparison of both methods reveals that microscopic rhinoscopy is superior in providing more accurate details of intranasal lesions in leprosy and biopsy can be taken in a precise manner from accurate and representative sites. Use of the microscope with adequate exposure and bright illumination provides precise details of lesions and an opportunity for bimanual manipulation, photography, teaching and recording. Thus, it is worthwhile to perform microscopic rhinoscopy in such cases.
对10例瘤型麻风患者进行了研究，通过传统的肉眼鼻镜检查以及手术显微镜来检测鼻内病变。两种方法的比较显示，显微鼻镜检查在提供麻风鼻内病变更准确细节方面更具优势，并且可以从准确且具有代表性的部位精确取材进行活检。使用具有足够暴露和明亮照明的显微镜能够提供病变的精确细节，并有机会进行双手操作、摄影、教学和记录。因此，在这类病例中进行显微鼻镜检查是值得的。
