Chronic nasal obstruction significantly impacts quality of life and often involves multifactorial etiologies such as deviated nasal septum (DNS), inferior turbinate hypertrophy, concha bullosa, and adenoid hypertrophy. This case report describes a 30-year-old male with chronic nasal obstruction, snoring, and rhinorrhea. Diagnostic nasal endoscopy and NCCT PNS revealed DNS, bilateral inferior turbinate hypertrophy, right-sided concha bullosa, and grade 3 adenoid hypertrophy. After thorough preoperative evaluation, the patient underwent endoscopic septoplasty with spurectomy, bilateral inferior turbinate reduction, right-sided bullectomy, and adenoidectomy with debridement. Postoperative outcomes were favorable, with significant symptom relief. This report emphasizes the effectiveness of a comprehensive, endoscopic surgical approach in managing complex nasal pathologies.
