[Clinical syndromes in congenital defects and developmental anomalies of the nasal cavity]. 1989

B V Shevrygin, and M K Maniuk

Clinical syndromes that accompany congenital diseases and developmental abnormalities of the nasal cavity are presented. The data are derived from clinical and functional investigations (rhinospirometry, olfactometry, rhinofibroscopy, rhinomicroscopy, examination of the motor function on the ciliated epithelium, etc) of 160 patients with the above pathologies. Based on the examinations, the following clinical syndromes can be identified: nasal asymmetry, nasal obstruction, respiratory, olfactory, mucociliary and reflex syndromes. It is concluded that further investigations in th s direction are needed and that the syndrome approach is valuable from the diagnostic point of view.

D002925	Ciliary Motility Disorders	Conditions caused by abnormal CILIA movement in the body, usually causing KARTAGENER SYNDROME, chronic respiratory disorders, chronic SINUSITIS, and chronic OTITIS. Abnormal ciliary beating is likely due to defects in any of the 200 plus ciliary proteins, such as missing motor enzyme DYNEIN arms.

D004724	Endoscopy	Procedures of applying ENDOSCOPES for disease diagnosis and treatment. Endoscopy involves passing an optical instrument through a small incision in the skin i.e., percutaneous; or through a natural orifice and along natural body pathways such as the digestive tract; and/or through an incision in the wall of a tubular structure or organ, i.e. transluminal, to examine or perform surgery on the interior parts of the body.
