Q

What is the clinical significance of a nasal septum deviation with regards to drainage of paranasal air sinuses?

A

Sinuses open into meatus (under turbinates), so an obstruction would cause blockage of drainage. This would result in a build up of mucus and fluid in sinuses -> congested and painful
