“…ENS was diagnosed based on the presence of paradoxical nasal obstruction, a wide nasal airway and loss of inferior turbinate tissue evaluated by nasal endoscopy, a history of previous procedures on the inferior turbinate, an ENS6Q score of at least 10.5, and a positive cotton test, 22 as described in a previous study. 26 Briefly, a moistened cotton ball was placed in the widest area of the patient's inferior meatus, and the patient was instructed to breathe through the nose for 30 min. Improvement in ENS-associated symptoms indicated a positive cotton test.…”

ObjectiveWe aimed to evaluate computed tomography (CT) images of patients with empty nose syndrome (ENS), investigate the impact of reconstruction surgery on sinus inflammation, and identify the optimal airspace diameter after surgery.MethodsWe conducted a retrospective case series analysis, identifying and enrolling patients with ENS with perioperative CT findings. The clinical characteristics of the participants were collected, and the modified Lund‐Mackay (mLM) CT scores were determined. The anterior airspace diameter was evaluated by measuring the distance between the septum and the lateral nasal wall on the coronal plane at the level of the nasolacrimal duct.ResultsTwenty patients with ENS and perioperative CT images were enrolled. The mean total mLM CT score and all subsite scores showed no significant changes after surgery. The Empty Nose Syndrome 6‐item Questionnaire (ENS6Q) score, Sino‐nasal Outcome Test‐25 (SNOT‐25) score, sleep symptoms domain, psychological domain, and empty nose symptoms domain were significantly associated with anterior airspace diameter in the regression analysis.ConclusionThere was no significant difference in sinus inflammation between preoperative and postoperative CT evaluations. The anterior airspace diameters were significantly associated with ENS6Q and SNOT‐25 scores.Level of Evidence4 Laryngoscope, 2023
