Nasal diseases are conditions affecting the nasal cavity, septum, turbinates, and paranasal sinuses, structures that together filter, warm, and humidify inspired air, house the sense of smell, and contribute to voice resonance. They span inflammatory, infectious, allergic, structural, and neoplastic disorders. Allergic and non-allergic rhinitis and rhinosinusitis produce congestion, rhinorrhea, and impaired airflow, and may be accompanied by nasal polyps, while structural problems such as septal deviation and turbinate hypertrophy obstruct breathing and can be addressed surgically. Tumors of the nasal cavity and septum range from benign lesions, such as pleomorphic adenoma, to malignancies including angiosarcoma, and require careful diagnosis because of their varied presentation. Because the nose is the entry point of the respiratory tract, nasal disease disrupts the filtration and conditioning of air and can affect olfaction, sleep, and quality of life, with symptom burden assessed by validated instruments such as the sinonasal outcome test. Diagnosis combines clinical examination, nasal endoscopy, cytology, imaging, and physiological measures, and management spans medical therapy for inflammation and allergy as well as surgical correction of obstruction and removal of lesions. Research in this area addresses the diagnosis of allergic and non-allergic disease, the management of turbinate and septal pathology, sinonasal tumors, and patient-reported outcomes in nasal disorders.
