Endoscopic examination of the nose and nasopharynx

endoscopic nose and nasopharynx examination

€20

Nasal and nasal endoscopy is a high-precision diagnostic method for both adults and children. It allows you to view the nasal cavity, nasopharynx, nasal shells and sinus openings in detail and magnification. The examination is performed with a thin, optical instrument – an endoscope, which helps to detect inflammations, anatomical changes, polyps or enlarged adenoids that cannot be fully assessed during a routine examination.

Nasal and nasopharyngeal endoscopy is recommended if:

  • difficulty breathing: prolonged nasal congestion or breathing problems through the nose
  • chronic inflammations: prolonged runny nose, chronic rhinosinusitis or frequent recurrent inflammation of the sinuses;
  • specific pathologies: suspected nasal polyps or enlarged adenoids (especially in children)
  • search for causes of symptoms: nosebleeds of unknown origin, snoring.

Timely diagnosis allows you to more accurately identify the cause of the problem and initiate appropriate treatment.

How to prepare for a nasal and nasopharyngeal endoscopic examination?

First step

Do not use nasal sprays or drops 2–3 hours before your appointment (unless instructed otherwise by your doctor).

Second step

bring the results of previous examinations, such as computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) images and reports, if any.

What happens during an endoscopic examination of the nose and nasopharynx?

use local anesthesia (if necessary) – the nasal mucosa is treated with a spray to reduce sensitivity and make the procedure comfortable;

introduces a thin endoscope into the nasal cavity to evaluate in detail the condition of the mucous membrane, nasal septum and other structures;

performs a nasopharyngeal examination, which is critical for the diagnosis of adenoids and other formations;

records the obtained data and immediately provides an explanation of the visible pathology.

What will you receive at the end of the study?

a specialist report and precise information on the further course of treatment;

Prescriptions for medication or instructions for additional examinations, if necessary

recommendations for action after the procedure.

Important: After the examination, there may be a temporary irritation or “tickling” sensation in the nose, which usually disappears within a few minutes.
