“…Del Gaudio JM et al, (2005) studied 106 CT PNS and found type I frontal cells most common in 18.1% followed by type III in 6.1%, type IV in 2.4% and type II in 1.4% cases [31]. Finding of our study correlated well with those studies.…”

“…Over all in our study out of 50 cases, 37 patients had frontal recess cells (74 %). According to Delgaudio et al [18] overall incidence of frontal recess cells in their study was 33 %. Likewise Meyer et al [3] found that incidence of frontal recess in their study was 20.4 %.…”

“…Delgaudio et al [18] has found that type 1 frontal recess cells were most common, found in 15.6 % of cases overall and type 2 cells were found in 1.4 % of cases, type 3 in 6.2 % of cases and type 4 in 2.4 % of cases. In our study prevalence of type 1 frontal recess cell was 44 %, type 2-8 %, type 3-48 % and type 4-2 % of cases, as compared to Lee et al [15] (37, 19, 8, and 0 %).…”

A study designed to describe the anatomical features of the frontal recess area in patients suffering from chronic frontal sinusitis. A prospective study done in adult patients admitted in our hospital between July 2009 to June 2011. Tertiary level, private ENT care centre. 50 adult patients of chronic frontal sinusitis who did not have history of previous sinus surgery. The frontal recess anatomy was studied by 2 mm slice CT scans pre-operatively. CT findings were confirmed intra operatively by meticulous dissection in frontal recess area endoscopically with aid of image guided system. A chart prepared for each patient of different anatomical variations present in frontal recess on each nasal side and analyzed. Agger nasi cell was found in 94 % of cases. The superior attachment of the uncinate was to the lamina papyraceae in 82 % of cases. Type 1 frontal recess cells were found in 44 %, type 2 in 8 %, type 3 in 48 % and type 4 in 2 % of the cases. Over all 74 % of cases had frontal recess cells.

“…In addition, frontal sinus disease correlates with the severity of overall sinus disease as determined by sinus CT scan [20]. Delgaudio et al [21] reported there was no relationship between AN cells and the incidence of frontal sinusitis. In the study of Fadda et al [3] AN cells were detected in 24.3 % of cases, and was associated with frontal sinusitis in multivariate analysis.…”

The anatomy of the sinonasal area has a very wide rage of anatomical variations. The significance of these anatomical variations in pathogenesis of rhinosinusitis, which is the commonest disease in the region, is still unclear. The aims of the study were to compare the rate of sinonasal anatomical variations with development and severity of chronic rhinosinusitis patients. CT scan of paranasal sinuses images of 99 individuals were retrospectively reviewed. 65 cases of chronic rhinosinusitis (study group) who had undergone endoscopic sinus surgery were compared with 34 cases without chronic rhinosinusitis (control group). Also in study group Lund-Mackay score of the sinus disease were calculated and compared to the rate of related anatomical variations. There were 74 (74.7 %) males and 25 (25.2 %) females with ages ranging from 13 to 70 years (mean 32.2 years). The anatomical variations recorded were: Septal deviation 47 (72.3) in study and 25 (73.5 %) in control group, concha bullosa 27 (41.5 %) in study and 18 (52.9 %) in control group, overpneumatized ethmoid bulla 17 (26.1 %) in study and 14 (41.1 %) in control group, pneumatized uncinate 3 (4.6 %) in study and 3 (8.8 %) in control group, agger nasi 42 (64.6 %) in study and 19 (55.8 %) in control group, paradoxical middle turbinates 9 (13.8 %) in study and 4 (11.7 %) in control group, Onodi cell 6 (9.2 %) in study and 2 (5.8 %) in control group, Haller's cells (infraorbital ethmoid cell) 9 (13.8 %) in study and 7 (20.5 %) in control group. None of these results were statistically significant between study and control group (p [ 0.05). Lund-Mackay score (which was assumed to show the severity of the disease) of the maxillary, ethmoid and frontal sinus were calculated and compared to rate of septal deviation, concha bullosa, agger nasi cells. No significant correlation was conducted (p [ 0.05). The results of study showed no statistically significant correlation between sinonasal anatomical variations and pathologies of the paranasal sinus. Also these anatomical variations did not increase the severity of pre-existing sinusitis significantly. Level of Evidence This is a retrospective cohort study (2b).
