Nasal endoscopy: Nasal endoscopy is examination of the sinus and nasal cavity using a scope. The scope can either be flexible or a rigid(metal) . The scope is inserted into each nostril and it allows good visualization of the septum to see if there is a deviation all the way inside. You can check the opening of the sinuses to see if there are any infections, tumor growth scar tissue . Also the pharynx.
