Clinical Significance of Anatomical Variations in Ostiomeatal Complex As Detected By MDCT
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 8
Abstract
Infections involving paranasal sinuses and nasal cavities is one of the common public health problem in all age groups. Functional endoscopic sinus surgery has revolutionized in the treatment of sinusitis. MDCT has been the most ideal investigation in the assessment of paranasal sinuses especially in the identification of various anatomical variations that predispose to development of sinus infection. The present study was done to detect the presence of significant anatomical variations in the ostiomeatal complex, the main drainage point of sinus in 300 symptomatic patients.
