Journal Title: International Journal of Contemporary Medical Research - Year 2018, Vol 5, Issue 4
Abstract
Introduction: The anatomy of nose is one of the most variable in the whole human anatomy. Knowledge about the possible variations is never complete, since there is always a scope to understand better and know more. Numerous studies have been undertaken in the past to better the already existing know-how about the various anatomical deviations in the nose and paranasal sinuses causing chronic rhinosinusitis. The present study was carried to know the prevalence of variations in sinonasal anatomy causing chronic sinusitis. Material and Methods: A Cross sectional study conducted over a period of one year, in patients presenting to ENT OPD with any nose and paranasal related complaint, in a setting of tertiary hospital, with the requisite investigative protocols. Patients meeting the inclusion criteria were included in the study and subjected to the prescribed interventions. Results: Observations gathered from this study are- of the 65 patients included, 86.1% had septal deformities, 58.4% had Concha bullosa, 52.3% had Agger Nasi, 15.3% had Haller Cell, 13% had Paradoxical Middle Turbinate, 4.6% had Everted Uncinate Process, 3% had Enlarged Bulla. Conclusion: Sinonasal anatomy is very much variable, with various concomitant variations also. A detailed knowledge makes the life of a clinician much easier.
