In order to explore the relationship of the nasal septum deviation with the localization of epipharyngitis, observation was made on the difference in the cytologic picture of epipharyngeal mucosa and in some clinical symptoms between right and left side in 160 cases of nasal septum deviation of various degrees. The results obtained are as follows. 1) With the increase of deviation the nasal obstruction became stronger on the convex than on the concave side, and situation was same for the pain on touch of the applicator with the epiphary ngeal mucosa. 2) The exfoliation of ciliated epithelial cells was of a higher degree in the epipharyngeal mucosa to the convex side as compared with that to the concave side, and also the degree of their deformation was higher on the convex side in majority of the cases. 3) In not a few cases there were remarkable appearances of goblet cells, leukocytes and lymphocytes in the epipharyngeal mucosa to the convex side. 4) The foregoing findings seem to indicate that the epipharyngeal inflammation in the nasal septum deviation is rather strong in the region to the con- vex side of deviation.
