Abstract
Empty nose syndrome (ENS) is a rare post-surgical condition characterised by symptoms of nasal obstruction, crusting, pain and suffocation. The pathophysiology remains elusive however a combination of disruption in nasal aerodynamics and neurosensory components is thought to be involved. The rarity of this condition as well as the lack of objective diagnostic criteria make diagnosis difficult. As ENS is a complex condition a multidisciplinary approach to assess the suitability of medical, surgical and psychological treatments may be beneficial.
