What is an empty nose syndrome?

The empty nose syndrome is a collection of symptoms that occur as a result of the patient does not have the corresponding nasal turbinates, the structures in the nose that provide the functions necessary for proper breathing. These nasal tissues can be lost by turbinectomy, which is a surgery that removes some or all nasal turbines. As a result, the patient's nose looks empty when looking at computer tomography (CT) scanning, a phenomenon led by Dr. E.B. Kern, MD, is preparing a phrase at the age of 90. Some symptoms of an empty nose syndrome may include a patient's feeling as if they have not suffered enough air, nasal infections, pain and nose crusts. They also provide air resistance and increase air pressure, allowing the lungs to inflate and blow properly. Some patients with an empty nose syndrome may feel as if they were not air cores because the turbines are not present to pass the appropriate information to the brain, air pressure and ensuring air resistancehu. Other patients may feel as if their noses are stuffy and some feel as if they are constantly choking. These feelings can also cause lack of concentration, anxiety and depression.

Without moisturizing the turbine force, one can also experience other symptoms of an empty nose syndrome, namely dryness, pain and burning. In a normal functioning body, the nose will moisten the air sufficiently, so when it gets into the lungs, it is approximately 98% humidity. The lungs need moist air to function properly, so without the turbines present to humidify the air, the lungs may not be able to work as intended. In addition, turbinates capture moisture from the air exhaled by the nose and thus help to dehydrate.

Removal of nasal turbines can also bring another symptom of an empty nose syndrome: sinus infection. Turbine captures foreign particles entering the nose and without turbines are not PRAktically nothing to prevent these particles to get into the cavities. A person with an empty nose syndrome can thus find themselves a constantly fighting sinus infection. Sometimes these infections require the use of surgery.
