Computed Tomography Measurement of Inferior Turbinate in Asymptomatic Adult
Introduction The inferior turbinate (IT) is the most susceptible turbinate to enlargement causing nasal obstruction. The common belief ascribes most of the enlargement of the IT to mucosal elements. Objective This study aimed to investigate the detailed computed tomography (CT) measurement of the IT in asymptomatic adult by determining the thickness of both the non-bony (mucosa) and bony part...
متن کاملComparative study of the effects of submucosal cauterization of the inferior turbinate with or without outfracture.
AIM The objective of this study was to compare the effects of submucosal cauterization of the inferior turbinate with or without outfracture. STUDY DESIGN Clinical prospective. METHOD Twenty patients with inferior turbinate hypertrophy were randomized and divided into two groups. The first one was submitted to submucosal cauterization associated with outfracture, and the second one without ...
متن کاملHistory and Evolution of Turbinate Reduction and Outfracture
www.PRSJournal.com 607e Turbinate hypertrophy is a common cause of nasal airway obstruction encountered in rhinoplasty patients.1 The inferior turbinate contributes to the posterior border of the internal nasal valve, and turbinate hypertrophy is commonly implicated in nasal airflow obstruction.2 All causes of nasal airway obstruction—including turbinate hypertrophy—must be recognized and addre...
متن کاملDisease-specific quality of life after septoplasty and bilateral inferior turbinate outfracture in patients with nasal obstruction.
INTRODUCTION Septal deviations might cause nasal obstruction and negative impact on the quality of life of individuals. The efficacy of septoplasty for treatment of septal deviation and the predictors of satisfactory surgical outcomes remain controversial. Technical variability, heterogeneity of research samples and absence of a solid tool for clinical evaluation are the main hindrances to the ...
متن کاملBilateral inferior turbinate osteoma
Osteomas are the most common benign osteoclastic tumours of the paranasal sinuses. However, nasal cavity and turbinate osteomas are extremely rare. Only nine middle turbinate, three inferior turbinate and one inferior turbinate osteoma cases have been reported to date. The present case report describes the management and follow-up of symptomatic bilateral inferior turbinate osteoma.A 60-year-ol...
