A Study of Lateral Nasal Wall: Anatomical Variants,Radiological And Endoscopic Appearance And Role in Symptomatology in Chronic Rhinosinusitis
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2017, Vol 16, Issue 2
Abstract
It is assumed that the anatomical variations of lateral wall of nose contribute to various disease symptoms by blocking normal sinus drainage.This prospective study was conducted on hundred patients suffering from chronic rhinosinusitis, to study the various anatomical variations of lateral wall of nose by CT scan and diagnostic nasal endoscopy.A statistically significant correlation was found between concha bullosa and maxillary sinusitis (right and left concha bullosa with ipsilateral maxillary sinusitis p value was 0.033 and 0.01, respectively which are < 0.05), right and left agger nasi cell and ipsilateral frontal sinusitis (p value is. 01 and. 0006 which are <.05), right and left paradoxical middle turbinate and ipsilateral maxillary sinusitis (p value is. 000 and. 000 which are <.05).Considering the results obtained, we conclude that anatomical variations of the nose and paranasal sinusescan play an important role in the pathogenesis of chronic rhinosinusitis, and thus may increase the risk of sinus mucosal disease.
