Nasal Endoscopy | Solana Beach, CA

Clinical Overview

About Nasal Endoscopy in Solana Beach

Office nasal endoscopy uses a thin rigid or flexible scope to examine the nasal cavity, nasopharynx, and accessible sinus drainage pathways. It does not visualize every sinus and does not automatically replace imaging or other evaluation.

A thin rigid or flexible scope can show the nasal cavity, nasopharynx, and accessible drainage areas, but it does not visualize every sinus and does not automatically replace CT imaging.

A clinician may use topical decongestant or anesthetic and can explain visible findings; further imaging or ENT coordination may still be needed.

For a broader clinical overview, read the nasal endoscopy guide.

Frequently Asked Questions

Nasal Endoscopy Questions in Solana Beach

The procedure helps investigate obstruction, drainage, smell loss, bleeding, suspected polyps, or another visible nasal concern when a routine examination is not enough.

The clinician may use topical decongestant or anesthetic and can often review findings during the visit. Tell the team about blood thinners, bleeding disorders, medication reactions, recent surgery, or trauma.

Relevant information includes sinus imaging or prior endoscopy and operative reports, a list of blood thinners and nasal medicines, and the timing of obstruction, drainage, smell loss, pain, or bleeding. This context helps the clinician focus on evidence that can change diagnosis, treatment, or day-to-day care.
