Rhinology is a sub-specialty of Ear, Nose, and Throat (ENT) medicine that focuses on the study and treatment of nasal and sinus disorders. This includes the anatomy, physiology, and pathology of the nose, sinuses, and adjacent structures, as well as the associated functions such as breathing, smelling, and immune defense.
Rhinologists are trained in the diagnosis and treatment of a wide range of conditions, including allergic rhinitis, nasal congestion, sinusitis, nasal polyps, deviated septum, nasal tumors, and other nasal and sinus disorders. They use a variety of diagnostic tools and techniques, such as nasal endoscopy, CT scans, and allergy testing, to assess and diagnose these conditions.
Treatment options for rhinologic conditions may include medications, allergy shots, nasal irrigations, and surgery. Rhinologists are also involved in the management of obstructive sleep apnea, which can be caused by nasal and sinus obstructions.
Overall, rhinology is an important field of ENT medicine, and rhinologists work closely with other specialists to provide comprehensive care for patients with nasal and sinus disorders.
