Clinical Information
- Oral Fistula-. an abnormal passage within the mouth communicating between two or more anatomical structures.
- Nasal Obstruction-. any hindrance to the passage of air into and out of the nose. the obstruction may be unilateral or bilateral, and may involve any part of the nasal cavity.
- Mouth Breathing-. abnormal breathing through the mouth, usually associated with obstructive disorders of the nasal passages.
- Nasal Cavity-. the proximal portion of the respiratory passages on either side of the nasal septum. nasal cavities, extending from the nares to the nasopharynx, are lined with ciliated nasal mucosa.
- Nasal Obstruction-. blockage of the nasal passages.

Patient Education
Nose Injuries and Disorders
Your nose is important to your health. It filters the air you breathe, removing dust, germs, and irritants. It warms and moistens the air to keep your lungs and tubes that lead to them from drying out. Your nose also contains the nerve cells that help your sense of smell. When there is a problem with your nose, your whole body can suffer. For example, the stuffy nose of the common cold can make it hard for you to breathe, sleep, or get comfortable.
Many problems besides the common cold can affect the nose. They include:
- Deviated septum - a shifting of the wall that divides the nasal cavity into halves
- Nasal polyps - soft growths that develop on the lining of your nose or sinuses
- Nosebleeds
- Rhinitis - inflammation of the nose and sinuses sometimes caused by allergies. The main symptom is a runny nose.
- Nasal fractures, also known as a broken nose
