Abstract

Object: To describe the computed tomography characteristics of the crooked nose after trauma. Subjects and research methods: Cross-sectional description, prospective on 40 patients with crooked Nose sequelae due to trauma operated on at Ear, Nose and Throat Hospital Ho Chi Minh City during the period from 12/2020 to 12/2023. Results: The average age of the research group is 33.7 ± 9.89 years old. Gender: The majority of patients are men, accounting for 70%, the Male/Female ratio is 7/3. The reason for being admitted to the hospital is due to crooked nose accounting for the majority (52.5%) and due to nasal congestion accounting for 47.5%. Type I crooked nose is the most common, accounting for 87.5%. The average α angle measured on CT scan was 17.52 ± 7.370. The average preoperative internal nasal valve angle on the right side was 18.73 ± 7.620 and on the left side was 19.05 ± 6.610. The most common combined injury is septal bone fracture, accounting for 67.5%. Conclusion: Type I crooked nose is the most common, accounting for 87.5%. The average α angle measured on CT scan was 17.52 ± 7.370. The average preoperative internal nasal valve angle on the right side was 18.73 ± 7.620 and on the left side was 19.05 ± 6.610. The most common combined injury is septal bone fracture, accounting for 67.5%.
