Q1 · Epistaxis
NEET PGEasyExplanation
Most anterior nosebleeds arise from Little's area (Kiesselbach's plexus) on the anterior nasal septum, where several arteries anastomose. First aid is firm pinching of the soft part of the nose with the head forward.
Q2 · Allergic Rhinitis
EasyExplanation
Allergic rhinitis is an IgE-mediated response to allergens, causing sneezing, watery rhinorrhoea, itching, and congestion, frequently seasonal. Treatment includes antihistamines, intranasal corticosteroids, and allergen avoidance.
Q3 · Sinusitis
NEET PGMediumExplanation
The maxillary sinus is most commonly affected in adults, partly because its ostium is positioned high, hindering drainage. Sinusitis presents with facial pain or pressure, nasal congestion, and purulent discharge.
Q4 · Nasal Polyps
MediumExplanation
Bilateral nasal polyps are associated with allergy, asthma, and aspirin sensitivity (Samter's triad), and with cystic fibrosis in children. They cause nasal obstruction and loss of smell; treatment is intranasal steroids and, if needed, polypectomy. A unilateral polyp warrants exclusion of malignancy.
Q5 · Juvenile Nasopharyngeal Angiofibroma
NEET PGHardExplanation
Juvenile nasopharyngeal angiofibroma is a benign but locally aggressive, highly vascular tumour occurring almost exclusively in adolescent males, causing recurrent severe epistaxis and nasal obstruction. Biopsy is avoided due to bleeding risk; imaging guides diagnosis and surgery.
Q6 · CSF Rhinorrhoea
HardExplanation
CSF rhinorrhoea is leakage of cerebrospinal fluid through a skull-base defect, often post-traumatic. Beta-2 transferrin in the fluid is highly specific for CSF. It risks meningitis and may need surgical repair if it does not resolve.
Q7 · Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma
MediumExplanation
Nasopharyngeal carcinoma is strongly linked to Epstein-Barr virus and is more common in Southeast Asia. It may present with a neck node, nasal obstruction, epistaxis, or unilateral otitis media with effusion from Eustachian tube blockage.
Q8 · Mucormycosis
HardExplanation
Rhino-orbital mucormycosis is an aggressive fungal infection in diabetics, especially in ketoacidosis, and in the immunocompromised, causing a black necrotic eschar and rapid orbital and intracranial spread. It is an emergency needing urgent surgical debridement and antifungals.
Q9 · Rhinitis Medicamentosa
MediumExplanation
Rhinitis medicamentosa is rebound nasal congestion from overuse, beyond about 5 to 7 days, of topical decongestant sprays such as oxymetazoline. Management is stopping the spray, with intranasal steroids to ease the rebound.
Q10 · Atrophic Rhinitis
HardExplanation
Atrophic rhinitis (ozaena) features progressive atrophy of the nasal mucosa and turbinates, producing a wide nasal cavity, foul-smelling crusts, and anosmia in the patient, though others notice the odour. Treatment focuses on nasal hygiene and moisturisation.
Nose and Sinuses sits within ENT, which carries the same syllabus in both exams. This set runs to 10 questions, each tagged Easy, Medium or Hard, 4 of them at Hard, and 3 drawn from previous-year papers.
Answer first, then read the explanation even on the ones you got right — the reasoning is where Nose and Sinuses marks are actually won, and it is what separates a recalled fact from a question you can solve in a new form. Once the Easy set feels comfortable, filter to Hard to find the gaps ENT examiners keep returning to.
