“…In addition, literature suggests no statistically significant change in acoustical analysis even after 3 months post-septoplasty [25]. On the continuum, literature using questionnaires evidences that individual with DNS to commonly report reduced respiratory control [26]. Having such respiratory deficit contributes to automatic changes in the laryngeal and supra-glottic resonatory system [25].…”

Resonance change is a common clinical symptom in individuals with deviated nasal septum. Often this anatomical deficit is surgically treated by septoplasty. Therefore monitoring resonance changes using acoustical tools is vital. Hence, the study investigated cepstral measure differences in subjects with deviated nasal septum compared to normals. A case-control study design involving 20 subjects within 18-40 years divided into Group I of 10 subjects with deviated nasal septum (DNS) and Group II of 10 normal subjects participated. All the subjects sustained nasalized vowel /ã/ at 10 cm mouth-microphone distance for minimum of 5 seconds. For Group I, voice sample was recorded in 2 conditions, 2 days pre-septoplasty and 1 month post-septoplasty. Cepstral peak prominence (CPP) and smooth cepstral peak prominence (CPPS) values was extracted using the Hillenbrand algorithm. Mean values revealed increased CPP and CPPS measure post-septoplasty when compared to pre-septoplasty. ANOVA showed statistically significant difference only for CPPS at p = 0.00. The higher cepstral values of post-septoplasty is due to widened nasal passage that leads to increased nasal volume, decreased acoustic damping and increased nasal patency. These changes in supraglottic chambers will result in a better acoustic space for good resonance. However, the CPPS values were not similar to normal subjects because of scarring or incomplete recovery of the outer mucosal layer of the nasal tract. Thus, we can conclude that cepstral analysis is a sensitive tool to detect resonance changes in the nasal patency.

Objective To investigate subjective throat symptoms with the Qualities of Sore Throat Index (QuaSTI) in adults with nasal septum deviation. Study Design Prospective study. Setting Baskent University Ankara Hospital. Methods Group 1 included patients with septum deviation. Preoperative data were obtained through evaluation of subjective nasal obstruction with the NOSE (Nasal Obstruction Symptom Evaluation) and throat symptoms with the QuaSTI (group 1a). After 3 months, the same patient group was reevaluated with the NOSE and QuaSTI to obtain postoperative data (group 1b). Group 2 was formed of healthy volunteers with no nasal obstruction. Results The mean ± SD and median (range) values of the QuaSTI total score were 33.39 ± 29.50 and 18.5 (0-90) in group 1a, 7.49 ± 4.31 and 7 (0-18) in group 2, and 7.58 ± 9.24 and 4.50 (0-49) in group 1b (group 1a vs 2, P < .001; group 1a vs 1b, P < .0001). A significant difference was determined between groups 1a and 2 with respect to the QuaSTI sensory score (26.58 ± 23.54 and 18 [0-73] vs 6.51 ± 3.58 and 7 [0-15], P < .001, respectively) and between groups 1a and 1b for the QuaSTI functional score (6.03 ± 6.62 and 3 [0-20] vs 1.50 ± 2.47 and 0.50 [0-13], P = .004). No significant difference was found between groups 1a and 2 in terms of the QuaSTI emotional score ( P = .126). Conclusion Various persistent sensory and functional throat symptoms can be seen in patients experiencing nasal obstruction associated with septum deviation, and the majority of these symptoms recover after septal surgery.
