Symptomatic Septal Deviation: Its Nasal Endoscopy and Computed Tomography-aided Correlation with Chronic Rhinosinusitis

Comparison of Sinonasal Symptoms in Patients with Nasal Septal Deviation and Patients with Chronic Rhinosinusitis

Introduction: Disorders of the nose and paranasal sinuses are among the most common chronic illnesses. Although considerable progress has been made in the medical and surgical control of these diseases, a large number of questions relating to the diagnosis, evaluation, and treatment of these conditions remain unanswered. The aim of the present study was to evaluate differences in the frequency ...

Acoustic rhinometry and computed tomography scans for the diagnosis of nasal septal deviation, with clinical correlation.

OBJECTIVE The aim in this study was to analyze the efficiency and reliability of acoustic rhinometry (AR) readings in recognition of nasal septal deviation. METHOD We compared 24 patients' AR readings with their sinus CT scans. The patient data were analyzed by comparison with normative data, area, and percentage differences between the two sides. Additionally, the data further analyzed by re...

Correlations between symptoms, nasal endoscopy computed tomography and surgical findings in patients with chronic rhinosinusitis.

BACKGROUND Although chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is increasing in prevalence and incidence, its diagnosis and treatment still pose a challenge. The Task Force on rhinosinusitis (TFR) advocates the use of symptom based criteria. However, many otorhinolaryngologists depend on diagnostic nasal endoscopy and computed tomography (CT) of paranasal sinuses for diagnosis of CRS. Computed tomography has...

Diagnosis of chronic rhinosinusitis in patients with cystic fibrosis: correlation between anamnesis, nasal endoscopy and computed tomography Summary

Diagnosis of chronic rhinosinusitis in patients with cystic fibrosis: correlation between anamnesis, nasal endoscopy and computed tomography.

UNLABELLED The sinonasal involvement is one of the most common manifestations in cystic fibrosis. Data show a high incidence of chronic rhinosinusitis in these patients. Although it has been found radiographic opacification of the sinus in more than 90% of cases, few are symptomatic. So that, it is difficult to recognize nasossinusal disease in patients with cystic fibrosis. Questionnaire, nasa...
