SURVEY ON THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN MIDDLE TURBINE DEFORMITIES AND IMPACT ON THE NASAL CAVITY
Main Article Content
Abstract
Objective: To investigate middle turbinate deformities and their impact on middle meatus drainage. Subjects and methods: A cross-sectional study of 73 patients presenting for sinus complaints who underwent CT scan of the nose and paranasal sinuses. Results: 52.1% of the surveyed samples had middle turbinate-related deformities and 12.3% had paradoxically middle turbinate. The impact of turbinate pneumatization on middle meatus obstruction, causing sinusitis, is not clearly defined, depending on the degree of pneumatization. Conclusion: Middle turbinate deformities such as concha bullosa with different forms, paradoxically middle turbinates are commonly encountered in clinical practice with a rate of 63.4%. The impact of these deformities on middle meatus drainage causing paranasal sinusitis has not been clearly determined, this depends on the degree of pneumatization as well as other structures in this area.
