We ai0med to describe the characteristics of patients in the rhinology division at the eye, nose and throat (ENT) Polyclinic, Prof. Hospital. Dr. I.G.N.G Ngoerah Denpasar in the period 1 January 2020 to 31 December 2021. It was a retrospective descriptive study which conducted in the rhinology division of the ENT Polyclinic, Prof. Hospital. Dr. I.G.N.G Ngoerah Denpasar from 1 January 2020 to 31 December 2021. A total of 752 patients underwent outpatient care during the period January 1, 2020, to December 31, 2021. Various rhinology cases found included inferior turbinate hypertrophy, nasal septum deviation, allergic rhinitis, bullous turbinate, nasal polyps, maxillary sinusitis, ethmoidal sinusitis, frontal sinusitis, sphenoidal sinusitis and pansinusitis.
