Empty nose syndrome (ENS), first described in 1994 by Kern and Stenkvist, is a rare but clinically significant condition.
Patients experience a paradoxical sensation of nasal obstruction despite having an anatomically empty nasal cavity, often following turbinate surgery.
However, there are varying perspectives on ENS, with differing opinions and levels of recognition around the world.
In this symposia, we aim to discuss the pathophysiology, diagnostic tools and management strategies for ENS from an international perspective.
to gain an international perspective on ENS and reach out how to deal with ENS
