Association between Nasal Septal Deviation

Introduction

Association between Nasal Septal Deviation:The current literature review has discussed in detail about the concept of Nasal Septal Deviation and Cholesteatoma. This analysis is based on the association between these two issues with respect to those patients that are suffering from Eustachian tube dysfunction. Moreover, the argument is based on the development of the effective theoretical background regarding the issues that have been taken up in the present research study. Theories related to the issues have also been presented and discussed in detail to clarify the relationship between the factors involved in the research.

2. Nasal Septal Deviation

According to Kahveci et al. (2012) nasal septal deviation is a condition in which the nasal septum is twisted from its place which creates breathing problems for an individual. As stated by Reitzen, Chung and Shah (2011), Nasal Septum is positioned inside the nose and divides the inner part of the nose into two identical cavities. In view of Cho, Kim and Jang (2012), some individuals are born with this defect; whereas, others develop it due to an injury or any strain on the nose. It is further stated that repeated sinus infection along with epistaxis, facial pain and headache are some of its major symptoms. However, it has been argued by Sam et al. (2012) that the deviation can also cause an individual to stop breathing during sleep.

3. Cholesteatoma

According to Preciado (2012), cholesteatoma is a dangerous sac that is created in the middle ear. Generally, there are 2 different types of Cholesteatoma: congenital and acquired (Stapleton, Egloff and Yellon, 2012). In the view of Lim, Yoon, and Kang (2012), the congenital grows and develops behind the tympanic membrane. As stated by Louw (2013), acquired cholesteatoma usually develops in an individual due to any infection in the ear. Symptoms of Cholesteatoma are otalgia along with constant bleeding and hearing loss….
