Abstract

Introduction: According to the hypotheses, the obstruction of the ostiomeatal complex is one of the causes of chronic rhinosinusitis. It is hypothesized that angle of uncinate process related to the pathophysiology of the obstruction the ostiomeatal complex in chronic rhinosinusitis? Objectives: Determine the angle of uncinate process, diameter of maxillary sinus ostium, evaluate the correlation of the angle of uncinate process and chronic maxillary sinusitis using computed tomography images. Methods: The descriptive study included 190 adults who were examined in Otorhinolaryngology clinic of Nguyen Tri Phuong Hospital in the period from 09/2020 to 08/2022. The paranasal sinus CT images were obtained and analyzed to measure angle of uncinate process, diameter of maxillary sinus ostium, identify the existence of chronic maxillary sinusitis. Results: The mean angle of uncinate process was 33,45 ± 11,99°. No significant differences were found between angle of uncinate process and the ipsilateral chronic maxillary sinusitis (p > 0.05). The mean diameter of maxillary sinus ostium was 2,65 ± 0,87mm. Conclusions: The value of angle of uncinate process and diameter of maxillary sinus ostium can be measured roughly based on CT scan. Angle of uncinate process has not found to be related to chronic maxillary sinusitis.
