There have been many names for NSBs in the past, which still have no unified terminology recognized by professionals. Pathological investigations revealed that NSB contains a certain amount of sinusoidal blood components. Nasal septal swell body is closely related to the internal nasal valve. Imaging studies have found that the size of NSB is associated with nasal diseases, and NSB hypertrophy can cause anatomic obstruction. In recent years, several procedures for NSB have been reported, and preliminary effectiveness has been achieved. However, the long-term outcomes of volume reduction techniques remain unproven.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The NSB is a distinct anatomic structure that may contribute to nasal obstruction and may be reduced surgically with unclear long-term results. Although being investigated for over a century, the unique physiological roles of NSB are not yet fully understood. More evidence is needed to elucidate its physiological effects.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1177\/01455613211010093","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,4,21]],"date-time":"2021-04-21T13:46:11Z","timestamp":1619012771000},"page":"014556132110100","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":11,"title":["Nasal Septal Swell Body: A Distinctive Structure in the Nasal Cavity"],"prefix":"10.1177","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8250-9887","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Xiangming","family":"Meng","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otorhinolaryngology, Wuxi Huishan District People\u2019s Hospital, Wuxi, P.
