Abstract
Background: Deviated nasal septum is a frequently occurring condition that can cause nasal obstruction in an individual. It may result in permanent changes in the nasal and sinus mucosa because of altered ventilation of the nasal cavity. Objectives: Study was aimed to see association between deviated nasal pathology and paranasalsinuses. Material and Methods: This was a cross sectional study done at ENT department.100 cases present to OPD with symptoms associated with DNS were selected and Results: Out of 100, there were 58 males and 42 females in this study. Most common age group 21-30 with 33% cases, next was 31-40 with 28% cases. Total of 61% cases belonged to 21-40 age group. C shaped deviation 72% was seem to be most common finding. Least common was caudal with 10% cases. Headache 92% was most common presenting symptom. Nasal obstruction 90%, post nasal drip 68% were next common symptoms. On CT PNS most common sinusitis seen was B/L maxillary sinusitis 49% and there was no any case of U/L sphenoid sinusitis. Spur type was seems to be associated with most verities of sinusitis in present study. Caudal deviation was associated with least number of sinusitis. Conclusions: According to finding of this study, there was no significant association between deviated nasal and paranasal sinusitis. corelating sinuses disease to deviated nasal septum may lead to mis/over treatment and also unwanted surgery.
