(1) the anterior ethmoidal artery on the forward part of the roof (Kesselbach’s plexus)
(2) the sphenopalatine artery in the posterosuperior region, and
(3) the internal maxillary branches (the plexus of veins located at the back of the lateral wall under the inferior turbinate).
In this PPT description of various basic instruments, anterior rhinoscopy, Posterior rhinoscopy, septum examination, nasal valve patency examination, paranasal sinus examination, etc.

• Nasal Secretions,
• Swelling of the turbinates,
• Properties of the mucosal surface,
• Position of the nasal septum
• Ulcerations or presence of foreign bodies.
6. MATERIAL :
Thundicum nasal speculum.
Light is focused at different sites in nose to examine nasal
septum, roof, floor and lateral wall by tilting patient’s head in
different directions.
7. • Nasal passage
- Narrow (septal deviation or hypertrophy of turbinates)
- Wide (atrophic rhinitis)
• Septum
- Position, Spurs, deviation, colour of mucosa, ulcers, crusting
and preforations, swellings (haematoma or abscess)
8.
9. • Floor of the nose
- Defects (cleft palate or fistula)
- Swelling (dental cyst)
- Neoplasm (haemangioma)
- Granulations (foreign body or osteitis)
• Roof : Only seen in case of atrophic rhinitis
10. • Lateral wall :
- Colour of mucosa (congested in inflammation and pale in allergy)
- Size of turbinate’s (during rhinitis)
- Discharge (infection of maxillary, frontal or anterior ethmoidal
sinuses)
- Mass (polyp, rhinosporidiosis and carcinoma)
If any growth or polyp is suspected confirm by the probe test
Probe Test : it is carried out by spraying the nose with 4%
Lignocaine with 1:100000 adrenaline or 10% cocaine. The
lesion or area is palpated to determine its character and
mobility.
11. Posterior
Rhinoscopy :
Technique :
Patient sits facing examiner opens his mouth breaths quietly from
mouth
Examiner depresses tongue with tongue depressor and introduces
