The diagnosis of NVS is primarily based on the subjective feeling of nasal obstruction
associated with specific findings on the physical examination. Patient complaints are best
objectified with validated questionnaires. Treatment of this condition is typically surgical and,
as is evident by the plethora of described surgical procedures, there is often no consensus
as to the best choice even in patients with identical findings on physical examination.
