Concha Bullosa: It’s Relationship with Ostiomeatal Complex.
Journal Title: International Journal of Medical Science and Innovative Research (IJMSIR) - Year 2019, Vol 4, Issue 5
Abstract
AIM: To assess different types of concha bullosa and its relationship with ostiomeatal complex , sinusitis and frontal recess disease. Materials And Methods: Computed tomography (CT) studies of 100 patients diagnosed with concha bullosa were reviewed retrospectively. All examinations were performed for evaluation of a symptom referable to sinonasal region. Concha bullosa cases were grouped according to the location of pneumatization of middle concha as lamellar, bulbous, and extensive. Each group was compared according to sinus, ostiomeatal and frontal recess disease. We have assessed the location of ostium (frontal recess, air cells along the basal la-mella, hiatus semilunaris) with respect to the types of concha bullosa. Results: There was not a significant relationship between concha bullosa types and sinus disease, ostiomeatal dis-ease, and frontal recess disease (p>0.05). The location of ostium of the bulbous type was the hiatus semilu-naris (p<0.05) and that of the extensive type was the frontal recess (p<0.05) preferentially. Conclusion: There is no statistically significant difference between lamellar, bulbous and extensive type concha bullo-sas in terms of sinus disease, ostiomeatal disease and frontal recess disease incidence. Bulbous type prefer-entially drains into the hiatus semilunaris, and exten-sive into the frontal recess.
