Abstract
Nasal obstruction is one of the most distressing symptom of nasal and sinus disease.The nasal obstruction may be unilateral or bilateral or is intermittent ,progressive or persistent.The routine anterior and posterior rhinoscopy gives very little information as we can see the structure which lie directly in the line of sight and moreover the posterior rhinoscopy may not be possible in some cases.As a result , the early diagnosis of some unpleasant lesions remained elusive without nasal endoscopy. In addition , the diagnostic nasal endoscopy helps us in precise photodocumentation of pre- and post treatment finding ,which is unsurpassed for teaching .This study , thus , strongly recommend thorough endoscopic examination of nose and postnasal space especially when anterior and posterior rhinoscopy fail to reveal the cause of nasal obstruction.
