Abstract
Nasal obstruction remains a common complaint and is a frequent reason for children to see otolaryngologists. Due to its location, proximal to the internal nasal valve, enlargement of the inferior turbinate can cause significant nasal obstruction. Symptoms vary widely and treatment may include both medical and surgical options. Surgeons may use monopolar cautery, microdebriders, or coblation technology. This article describes techniques with specific reference to children with nasal symptoms.
