Diagnosis Algorithm in Single Sided Nasal Masses

Abstract

Unilateral nasal masses are common clinical conditions in Ear, Nose, and Throat clinics, which may be difficult to diagnose due to their symptomatic similarities with rhinosinusitis. The diagnosis and management of these masses are important because of their relationship with cerebrospinal fluid or cerebral parenchyma and because they are more likely to be premalignant or malignant than bilaterally observed inflammatory masses and may have originated from vascular structures. This study aimed to present the diagnostic algorithm for unilateral nasal masses with literature review.
