How is a deviated septum diagnosed? (photo)

Doctor's Answer

ENT surgeons will do a thorough examination of your nose, including a video nasoendoscopy (nose scope) to asses if you have a deviated septum.

Sometimes, it is obvious like the photo below.

But in many patients, the deviation can only be seen with the video nasoendoscopy that all ENT specialists have in their clinic.
