Hello why did they decide to call the disease empty nose syndrome as it is an odd name
Why these doctors decided to call the disease empty nose syndrome should be included in the article — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.87.94.255 (talk) 15:43, 24 August 2016 (UTC)

It was called Empty Nose Syndrome by Dr. Kern snd the name stick . Not all with ENS have an empty nose so it’s not ideal. If we ever succeed in getting icd it will likely be more like turbinate dysfunction - right inferior. But we aren’t there yet so no point updating to that level.

There have been several advances in screening airflow as done at osu in ohio. Measuring the effects of air flow of ens patients is currently being conducted. Onelove25 (talk) 21:51, 8 June 2019 (UTC)
the cause section seems particularly underreferenced. I would really like to be able to see which studies performed the modelling of different airflow in ENS patients. 148.252.132.155 (talk) 14:24, 21 July 2021 (UTC)
I have all of the existing articles on cause/pathophysiology. If there is still interest I could update this section (after winter holidays) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Azariah Anna (talk • contribs) 04:54, 6 December 2022 (UTC)
Engle ahmed (talk · contribs) has made a considerable number of changes to article text without providing citations to justify their changes. I've requested that they provide citations to justify their edits, and, in the meantime, reverted the changes until that is done. -- The Anome (talk) 10:48, 24 December 2021 (UTC)
There is an error in this section. Minor procedures: submucosal cautery, submucosal resection, laser therapy, turbinate outfracture, septoplasty, hump reduction and cryosurgery.
I have the full text of the article. This is what it actually says. Please update and remove the procedures not supported in the literature such as septoplasty and hump reduction. Only surgeries and procedures involving the turbinates can cause ENS. Please reference Dr. Houser’s article accurately “ Although total turbinate excision is most frequently the cause of ENS, lesser procedures (eg, submucosal cautery, submucosal resection, cryosurgery) to reduce the turbinates may cause problems as well if performed in an overly aggressive manner.” Two of the ENS type patients in this series underwent laser turbinate reduction, which necessarily destroys overlying mucosa to reach the targeted underlying vascular tissue.
Thank you - coadmin of ENS awareness forum with Dr. Houser. 173.215.80.203 (talk) 05:01, 5 December 2022 (UTC)
I went ahead and created an account and fixed this in the Wiki. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Azariah Anna (talk • contribs) 04:51, 6 December 2022 (UTC)
I edited this article quite a bit in the top sections for clarity and readability. I don't know about this subject so have refrained from making new statements. I wanted to suggest some improvements for future editors or those who are more knowledgeable about ENT:

It's technically inacurate to claim there is no ICD code, when it's a dedicated code that's lacking – and very few conditions have dedicated codes. I have therefore altered the sentence in the lead, and added symptom codes from ICD11 and ICD10 to ((medical resources)) after skimming the article. Other codes may become appropriate as research continues. Little pob (talk) 17:17, 29 May 2023 (UTC)
