“…Despite substantial clinical interest in the dimensions of the nasal cavity, in the aspect of stenoses [1, 6, 8, 9], as well as their vital practical importance, the number of anatomic studies, concerning nasal cavity dimensions in healthy children without problems with breathing through the nose, still remains insufficient. Computer tomography (CT) is presently the golden standard in diagnostics of nasal cavity diseases; thus, it can be applied successfully as a tool for assessing anatomical structures [10]. …”

Atresias of nasal cavity, especially in young children, pose an essential problem in children's otolaryngology. Only a few morphometric studies of nasal cavity concerning healthy neonates and young infants without nasal stenosis are available. Multislice computed tomography is a perfect tool enabling a precise evaluation of anatomic structures. The aim of this study was a complex morphometric evaluation of clinically important bone and mucosal structures of nasal cavity and examination of their dependence on age and sex in children up to 3 years of age. 180 children, age range 0–3 years, were divided into 5 age groups, and measurements of 18 distances between skeletal structures and between mucosal structures of nasal cavity were performed on their CT scans. A correlation between the widths of selected bone structures was examined. There were no statistically significant differences in analyzed morphometric parameters between adjacent age groups. The differences were statistically significant only between extreme age groups. There was a correlation between evaluated structures and age. Our results are a valuable supplement of nasal cavity morphometric data of young children. They may be useful in setting reference values of evaluated parameters in children and in diagnosis and planning of surgical treatment in children's otolaryngology.

Background: The use of computed tomography (CT) combined with functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) has empowered the modern sinus surgeon to treat patients more effectively, facilitating reduced morbidity and complications. This study aimed to evaluate the role of multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) in the evaluation of paranasal sinus pathologies. Materials & Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted among the adult subjects attending the department of radiology at a tertiary care center in Lucknow for CT scan of paranasal sinuses for suspected paranasal sinus pathology from August 2018 to January 2020. The study included subjects above 12 years of age visiting the facility for CT of paranasal sinuses with a suspected paranasal sinus pathology and were also undergoing FESS. Results: A total of 74 patients falling in the sampling frame were enrolled in the study. Majority of cases were aged <40 years (n=41; 55.4%). Age group of 21-30 years was most affected (24.3%). Mean age of patients was 38.39±14.48 years. Inflammatory pathologies diagnosed on MDCT-included sinusitis (n=25), sinonasal polyps (n=17), sinusitis with polyps (n=15), and mucocele (n=2), respectively. FESS/histopathological diagnosis was done in 73 cases and revealed inflammatory pathology in 59/73 (80.8%) and neoplastic pathology in 14 (19.2%) cases. FESS/histopathological break up of inflammatory pathologies included 22 cases of sinusitis, 20 cases of sinonasal polyps, 14 cases of sinusitis with polyps, and three cases of mucocele. Agreement between MDCT and final diagnosis was seen in 67/74 (90.5%) cases assessed. Conclusion: The findings of the present study showed that MDCT is a useful modality for preoperative assessment of paranasal sinuses. With its high precision in diagnosis, it can help in further treatment planning and management in patients with paranasal sinus pathologies.

Abstract: Quality and quantity of the information from CT of nose and paranasal sinuses depends on keeping some rules concerning the stage of performing the examination and the stage of its evaluation and applying current anatomic terminology.
