Uncommonly, a patient may have a condition known as a septal perforation which essentially is a hole in the nasal septum. Normally, an intact nasal septum is a flat, straight, hole-less wall inside the nose approximately 3 X 1.5 inch, that divides the right side of the nasal cavity from the left side. The nasal septum is composed of cartilage in the front and bone in the back of the nose. Ideally, this nasal septum should be straight to allow symmetric airflow into both sides of the nose. If the nasal septum is crooked, it would be called a deviated septum which may lead to nasal obstruction and other symptoms. • Generally speaking, a septal perforation causes minimal if any symptoms. However, if symptoms are present, patients typically complain of: recurent nosebleeds, excessive nasal crusting, and whistling when breathing in/out of the nose. • More info on septal perforations: • https://www.FauquierENT.net/septalper... • Video produced by Dr. Chris Chang: • https://www.FauquierENT.net • This video was made with Dr. Christopher Lansford: • https://www.DoctorLansford.com • Check out our online store on nose care products: https://www.FauquierENT.net/store_nos... • Still haven’t subscribed to Fauquier ENT on YouTube? ►► https://bit.ly/35SazwA • #septalperforation #septumhole #holeinseptum
