conclusions among anatomic variations, septal deviation and concha bullosa are predisposing factors for chronic sinusitis and we recommend that patients with chronic sinusitis be treated by surgical procedures. background identifying predisposing factors for chronic sinusitis is very important. objectives anatomical variation of the lateral nasal wall has been investigated in several studies an...

INTRODUCTION Classic teaching suggests that disease in the osteomeatal complex (OMC) plays a pivotal role in the establishment of chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS). We sought to test this hypothesis. METHODS Retrospective review of 106 consecutive patients enrolled prospectively into an allergy/sinus centre database, meeting Task Force criteria for CRS. Inflammatory disease was scored radiological...

Over a period of 2 years we reviewed the CT scans of 217 patients with recurrent sinusitis. Our findings revealed a number of cases of osteomeatal complex disease with no frontal sinus involvement. This result is difficult to reconcile with the concept of a common drainage in the middle meatus shared by the frontal and anterior ethmoid sinuses. We conclude that the frontal sinus drains separate...

Introduction: Nasal polyps are benign prolapsed mucosal lesions which commonly arise from the paranasal sinuses and lateral walls of the nose especially the contact areas of osteomeatal complex. Though nasal polyps arising from the nasal septum have been reported, those arising from its anterior part are extremely rare and present a diagnostic dilemma.  Aetiology is multifactorial and is mainl...

Objective: It is known that deviation of the septum plays an etiological role in obstructions formed osteomeatal complex. In this study, it was aimed to evaluate effect degree nasal on distances between bone structures forming Method: The research universe obtained by retrospectively scanning 1200 computed tomography (CT) images January 2018-December 2019 PACS archive Department Radiology Sivas...

The anatomical variations of the nasal and sinus paranasal can cause headaches. most common variants have deviated septum, concha bullosa, agger nasi cells. These narrowing osteomeatal complex. Computed tomography was primary modality for evaluating sinuses in diagnosis management. Functional endoscopic surgery generally performed to restore sinuses' drainage ventilation variations. It has been...

Enophthalmos developed in a 44-year-old woman with history of respiratory infection but not of sinus disease. Sinus roentgenograms and MR revealed opacification of the right maxillary antrum, deviation of the nasal septum to the right, obstruction of the right osteomeatal complex, and diminished volume of the right maxillary sinus.
