Saddle Nose Deformity Treatment in Patna, Bihar

 A nasal deformity refers to an atypical structure and appearance of the nose, affecting its functions. These deformities are relatively common occurrences. Nasal deformities can be categorized into two main types:

Cosmetic Deformities: These affect the aesthetic shape and structure of the nose.

Functional Deformities: These influence the nasal functions, leading to issues like breathing difficulties, snoring, sinus problems, and impaired smell perception.

 Various Types of Nasal Deformities:

• Cleft Palate: A congenital nasal deformity that extends beyond the nose, affecting the mouth's structure.
• Nasal/Dorsal Hump: Commonly found within families, this deformity can also result from trauma. It involves cartilage or excess bone growth, depending on its location within the nose.
• Saddle Nose: This depression along the nasal bridge can result from factors like cocaine abuse, certain medical conditions, or physical trauma. It's also known as "boxer's nose."
• Swollen Turbinate: Turbinates aid in humidifying and clearing inhaled air. Swelling in these structures can hinder breathing.
• Enlarged Adenoids: Overgrown lymph glands at the nasal back can lead to sleep apnea and airway blockages.
• Deviated Septum: The cartilage dividing the nasal passages becomes misaligned, causing blockages in one or both nostrils.

 Common Symptoms of Nasal Deformities:

Regardless of whether a nasal deformity is functional or cosmetic, typical symptoms include:

• Difficulty in breathing
