Abstract

Nasal obstruction in children is caused by numerous and diverse factors but the symptoms are essentially snoring, mouth breathing, sleep disturbances and rhinorrhea. The commonest causes of nasal obstruction in children are septal deviation and adenoid hypertrophy. Nasal septal deviation in children is usually due to some form of injury. Performing septoplasty alone in this age group without addressing adenoid may lead to recurrence of symptom i.e., nasal obstruction may lead to failure of procedure so we combine both procedures in single sitting. So we have conducted a study of combined septoplasty with adenoidectomy for relief of nasal obstruction in children aged 9-15 years.
