Acoustic Rhinometry: Evaluation of the Nasal Cavity with Septal Deviations, Before and After Septoplasty

January 1, 1989Related to Nasal Cavity Geometry and Measurement, RHINOMETER Studies

Laryngoscope, 1989

Authors: L. F. Grymer, O. Hilberg, O. Elbrond, O. F. Pedersen

Conclusion: “Acoustic rhinometry seems very suitable for evaluation of the nasal cavity in cases where septoplasty and turbinoplasty is considered, as well as for the postoperative evaluation. It provides an objective documentation of the visual impression of the nasal cavity, quantitative evaluation, and topical information of mucosal and skeletal changes either physiological or inferred by surgery or decongestion.”

“The reproducibility of acoustic rhinometry is high. In the initial evaluation of the method we found the coefficient of variation of the acoustic areas to be less than 2% compared with 15% for the rhinomanometric measurements.”

“The measurements with acoustic rhinometry are easy to perform and require little cooperation from the patients.”
