Importance of Treating Compensatory Hypertrophy of Inferior Turbinate in Cases of Septal Deviation Causing Nasal Obstruction
ثبت نشده
چکیده
150 patients of Deviated nasal septum with compensatory hypertrophy of inferior turbinate on the contra lateral side were taken in the study. Compensatory hypertrophy was established by Endoscopic methods as well as radiologically (X-ray and CT scans were done) Since no definite criteria of nasal obstruction is available in literature hence a criteria of 4 mm nasal patency [3] was taken as adequate and less than that was considered as nasal obstruction (associated with symptoms) Patients were evaluated for a period of one year postoperatively for the regression of compensatory hypertrophy and mostly endoscopy was done for evaluation of postoperative results during that period. Patients were put in two groups: GROUP-A=Treated Compensatory hypertrophy (n=75) and GROUP-B=Compensatory hypertrophy not treated (n=75)

متن کاملRelationship between septal body size and septal deviation.
BACKGROUND Previous studies have described inferior turbinate hypertrophy compensatory to a septal deviation. The septal body contains vasoactive tissue that may behave in a manner similar to the inferior turbinate. The septal body, situated in the nasal valve region, may undergo changes that alter nasal anatomy and airflow patterns. The goal was to compare the size of the septal body to the l...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Inferior turbinate hypertrophy and concha bullosa often occur opposite the direction of nasal septal deviation. The objective of this retrospective study was to determine whether a concha bullosa impacts inferior turbinate hypertrophy in patients who have nasal septal deviation. MATERIALS AND METHODS The electronic medical record was used to identify sinus CT scans exhi...
متن کاملWhich inferior turbinate reduction technique best decreases nasal obstruction?
BACKGROUND Chronic nasal obstruction can significantly impair patients’ quality of life and is a frequent complaint seen by otolaryngologists. Inferior turbinate hypertrophy is a common cause of chronic nasal obstruction. Various etiologies for the hypertrophy of inferior turbinates include allergic reactions, nonallergic rhinitis, chronic hypertrophic rhinitis, and compensatory hypertrophy as ...
