Abstract

Introduction: The objective of the study is to evaluate the effect of endoscopic correction of septum on blood pressure in patients with deviated nasal septum symptoms and to assess positive changes occur between deviated nasal septum and hypertension.
Materials & Methods: The study was conducted at various hospitals in the department of ENT, Madinah Munawarah, Saudi Arabia. Hundred adults, aged 20-45 years, with symptomatic nasal septal deviation, newly detected untreated hypertension (mean BP 140/90 mmHg), undergoing septoplasty operation and sub mucosal diathermy of hypertrophied inferior turbinate (when present), were included. Postoperative follow up for ENT examination and BP measurement was done at 1, 6 and at the end of year.
Results: There are 68 patients were taken for this study from various hospitals in the department of ENT, Madinah Munawarah region, Saudi Arabia. Among 68 patients 42 Male and 26 Female patients at the mean age of 35.23±2.15 years with range of 29 to 44 with respective of male and female. Age distributed in group as 19% of patients were in 25-30, 43% of patients in 31-35, 22% of patients in 36- 40, and 16% of patients were in 41-45, major fall in age group of 31-35 years.
Conclusion: In our study we conclude that control of blood pressure in patients with nasal septal deviation can be achieved by surgical correction effectively and safely. Consequently patients with symptomatic septal deviation should be assured of prevention of secondary cardiovascular problems due to high blood pressure.
