OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this research is to examine the changes in nasal airflow dynamics before and after the nasal perforation repair.
METHODS: Three dimensional (3D) models of the nasal cavity before and after septal perforation repair was reconstructed using preoperative and postoperative computed tomography (CT) images of a patient. The numerical simulation was carried out using ANSYS CFX V15.0. Pre- and post-operative models were compared by their velocity, pressure (P), pressure gradient (PG), wall shear (WS), shear strain rate (SSR) and turbulence kinetic energy (TKE) in three plains.
RESULTS: In the post-operative state, the cross flows disappeared. In preoperative state, there were areas showing high PG, WS, SSR at the posterior border of the perforation, which exactly correspond to the area showing erosive mucosa on endoscopic inspection of the patient. In postoperative state, such high PG, WS and SSR areas disappeared. High TKEs also disappeared after surgery.
CONCLUSION: The effects of septal perforation repair on airflow dynamics were evaluated using computer fluid dynamics (CFD). High WS, PG and SSR observed at the edge of the septal perforation may be related to the clinical symptom such as nasal bleeding and pain. TKE was considered to cause nasal symptom.
