Assessment of nasal functions and their relationship with cholesteatoma formation in patients with unilateral chronic otitis media.

CONCLUSION: The present study, with a larger sample size compared to previously published literature, supports the conclusion that unilateral nasal obstruction is unlikely to lead to chronic otitis media on the same side. The results also suggest that nasal functions do not contribute to the development of cholesteatoma. PMID: 30305189 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
