This procedure is typically performed using a small endoscope, which is inserted through the nose to visualize the perforation.

Causes of Nasoseptal Perforations
Nasoseptal perforations can be caused by a variety of factors, including:
* Trauma: Nasal trauma, such as a blow to the nose, can cause a perforation of the nasal septum. * Surgery: Surgery to the nose, such as a septoplasty or turbinectomy, can also lead to a perforation. * Chronic inflammation: Chronic inflammation of the nasal mucosa, such as that caused by allergies or chronic sinusitis, can weaken the nasal septum and make it more susceptible to perforation. * Other factors: Other factors that have been associated with nasoseptal perforations include cocaine use, nasal irrigation, and certain medical conditions, such as Wegener's granulomatosis.
Symptoms of Nasoseptal Perforations
Many nasoseptal perforations are asymptomatic. However, some perforations can cause a variety of symptoms, including:
* Nasal obstruction: A large perforation can block the nasal airway, causing difficulty breathing through the nose. * Crusting: A perforation can cause the nasal mucosa to dry out and crust, which can lead to irritation and discomfort. * Epistaxis (nosebleeds): A perforation can cause the blood vessels in the nasal septum to become exposed, which can lead to nosebleeds. * Whistling: A perforation can cause air to whistle through the nose, which can be embarrassing and socially isolating.
Diagnosis of Nasoseptal Perforations
Nasoseptal perforations are typically diagnosed by a physical examination of the nose. The doctor will look for a hole in the nasal septum and may use a nasal speculum to widen the nasal passages and get a better view.

Treatment of Nasoseptal Perforations
The treatment of nasoseptal perforations depends on the size and location of the perforation, as well as the symptoms it is causing. Small, asymptomatic perforations may not require treatment. However, larger perforations that are causing symptoms may need to be repaired.
The endoscopic repair of nasoseptal perforations is a surgical procedure that can be used to close these openings and improve symptoms. This procedure is typically performed using a small endoscope, which is inserted through the nose to visualize the perforation. The perforation is then closed using a variety of techniques, such as suturing, grafting, or flap closure.
