Background
One of the most common causes of nasal airway obstruction in ent practice is deviated nasal septum and nasal airway obstruction is a common cause of upper airway obstruction which leads to obstructive and hypoxia conditions. The mean platelet volume(MPV) reflects the platelet production rate which increases in hypoxia conditions.
Method
We performed a prospective study carried out in the Department of Otorhinolaryngology in Saveetha Medical College and Hospital from April to August 2022 with 47 patients with the clinical evidence of DNS and 47 healthy age matched subjects as control group, aimed to evaluate the relationship between MPV levels and nasal obstruction due to DNS.
Results
From the data obtained in this study it was analysed that mean platelet volume was higher in patients with deviated nasal septum. And females had a higher range of mean platelet volume compared to the males in both the case and control group.
Conclusion
MPV values were found to be increased in patients with deviated nasal septum. This increase was found to be related to the severity of obstruction.
