空鼻综合征的问题可能不是它不存在，而是我们目前对鼻子的理解无法充分解释它的存在。鼻甲切除术后的空鼻综合征或医源性萎缩性鼻炎的结果仍然是一个有争议的话题，值得进一步研究。从文献中可以清楚地看出，并不是每个接受鼻甲切除术的人都患有萎缩性鼻炎或空鼻综合征的衰弱症状。因此，我们有必要以更批判的眼光评估后一个实体，这样我们就可以避免创造未来的患者，并为那些已经受到折磨的人提供救济。
The problem with empty nose syndrome is probably not that it does not exist, it is that we cannot adequately explain its existence by what we currently understand about the nose. The result of empty nose syndrome or iatrogenic atrophic rhinitis as a consequence of turbinectomy remains a controversial topic that deserves further scrutiny. It is clear from the literature, that not everyone undergoing a turbinectomy procedure suffers from the debilitating symptoms of either atrophic rhinitis or empty nose syndrome. Thus, it behooves us to evaluate this latter entity with a more critical eye, so that we can avoid creating future sufferers and provide relief to those who have already been afflicted.
