“…Nasal septal deviation, seen in about 80% of the population, is defined as an asymmetry of the nasal septum, and it may limit air flow and impair the growth of the paranasal sinus. As a consequence, mucosal ciliary activity decreases and bacterial invasion develops [6][7][8]. Additionally, previous studies stated that concha bullosa (pneumatized middle turbinate) adversely affects the paranasal sinus ventilation and mucociliary clearance in the middle meatus region [9].…”

Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the correlation between the length of the infundibulum and ostium height with the anatomic variations of osteomeatal complex (OMC) and sinus pathology using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). Methods: CBCT images of 204 patients (408 maxillary sinuses) were evaluated retrospectively. The height of the ostium and the length of the infundibulum were measured. The presence of maxillary sinus pathology, nasal septal deviation, Haller cells, concha bullosa, and sinus septa were analyzed. The correlation between the size of the maxillary sinus drainage system and anatomic variations was compared using the t test, Fisher’s exact test, and χ² test. The effect of tooth loss on the length of the infundibulum and ostium height was also analyzed using ANOVA. Results: The height of the ostium and the maximal septal deviation angle were found to be significantly greater in males (p < 0.05). As ostium height increased, the presence of maxillary sinus septa increased (p < 0.05). No statistically significant association was detected between other variations and the length of infundibulum or ostium height. The relationship between tooth loss and both the length of the infundibulum and ostium height were found to be insignificant (p > 0.05). Conclusions: Radiographic examination, especially on CBCT images, is important for an evaluation of maxillary sinuses. here, we demonstrated a significant relationship between ostium height and the presence of maxillary sinus septa. However, it was found that nasal septal deviation, concha bullosa, Haller cells, and other sinusopathies did not have a major effect on the size of the maxillary sinus drainage system.

“…Concha Bullosa (CB) also known as middle turbinate pneumatization or aerated turbinate, is a common anatomic variant in the nasal cavity and may occur unilaterally or bilaterally 12 . The correlation between the presence of CB and contralateral NSD has been reported in different studies 12, 13 . However, the claim that presence of NSD and pneumatization of the conchae are potential contributors to the development of sinus disease is still a matter of debate 14 .…”

“…It is well known that NSD and CB are common anatomical variations of the nasal cavity and have been described in different studies 10, 22 . The proper alignment of the nasal septum allows the operation of the two sides of the nose which in turn provides both conditioning of the air and respiratory defense 13 .NSD may therefore interfere with nasal physiology as it frequently causes narrowing of the middle nasal meatus which in turn causes nasal obstruction and secondary nasal and sinus infections. These infections are most frequently observed in the maxillary sinus.…”

Objectives:The aim of this study is to determine the prevalence of NSD, CB and maxillary sinusitis and to investigate their possible correlation using CBCT in a group of adult Egyptian population. Subjects &methods:In this retrospective study, 75 CBCT scans of both sexes (29 males & 46 females) in the age range between 13-61 years were selected from the archives of the Oral and Maxillofacial Radiology Department, Faculty of Dentistry, Cairo University. The presence of nasal septal deviation (NSD), concha bullosa (CB) as well as maxillary sinusitis and their correlation was assessed by an experienced Oral and Maxillofacial Radiologist. Results& conclusions:The results of this study showed that maxillary sinusitis is quite common (62.7%) in the studied population. The prevalence of maxillary sinusitis was more common than both NSD and CB. No correlation between all examined parameters was found except an association between NSD and contralateral CB. There was also no statistically significant difference between both genders in all parameters. From the results of this study it can also be concluded that neither NSD, nor CB increases the incidence of maxillary sinusitis.

“…Also, the angle of nasal septum deviation was 7.56±2.60 in men and 6.86±2.57 in women. In another study 10 , examiners found the angle of the nasal septum deviation 13.88˚ (4.9-31.2) in males and 14.18˚ (5.1-34.1) in females in which only individuals with nasal septum deviation were examined. As in this study, correlation between age, gender and deviation couldn't be found.…”

Aim: The aim of this study is to evaluate the relationship between nasal septum deviations, volumes of paranasal sinuses and Lund-Mackay scores related with the presence of rhinosinusitis in conebeam computed tomography images, which is currently been used in dental radiology. Material and method: CBCT images of 130 patients aged between 18 and 79 years with paranasal sinus area in our study were evaluated retrospectively. The correlation between the Lund-Mackay scores related with the presence of rhinosinusitis, the paranasal sinus volumes and nasal septum deviations which is an anatomic variation commonly seen in the community were examined. Results: Of the 130 patients who constituted the study group, 103 (79.2%) had nasal septum deviations, 53 (51.5%) to the right and 50 (48.5%) to the left. The total Lund-Mackay scores of individuals with nasal septum deviation were significantly higher than those without nasal septum deviation (p≤0.05). According to the results of our study, right and left maxillary, frontal, sphenoid and ethmoid sinus volumes were 13.6 cm³, 14.5 cm³, 6.2 cm³, 9.7 cm³, 8.7 cm³ respectively. Conclusion: As an alternative of Computed Tomography, which is accepted as gold standard to evaluate the relationship between nasal septum deviation and paranasal sinus volume with the presence of rhinosinusitis, Cone Beam Computerized Tomography, which allows a 3-dimensional radiological examination with a lower dose of radiation, may be used instead.
