Background: Deviated nasal septum (DNS) is an influential variant of the sinonasal region due to its possible association with varied sinonasal pathologies, mid-facial (skeletal or occlusal) disharmonies and orofacial pain disorders. The aim of the study is to document the prevalence of DNS and to observe and assess the radiographic attributes of its types in adults. Materials and Methods: It is a descriptive cross-sectional study in which, after getting ethical approval, computed tomography paranasal sinus volumes of 100 adult subjects are collected from the medical college on the basis of convenience sampling. Paediatric subjects and patients with a previous history of mid-facial trauma, malignancy or surgery are excluded from the study. DICOM data thus collected are retrospectively analysed by RadiAnt DICOM viewer to determine the prevalence of DNS to study its association across gender and with increased (>1 mm) mucosal thickening of the maxillary sinus. DNS is recorded by Mladina’s classification and by septal deviation angle, and association is studied by the Chi-square test and Mann–Whitney U test. Results: The overall prevalence of DNS is 82%. Association of deviated septum with gender and mucosal thickening of the sinus lining is not statistically significant. Overall type V (spur) deviation is most common; however, in subjects with thickened mucosal lining type III (“C” or reverse “C”), deviation is found to be most prevalent. All the cases of type VI deviation have a tilted nasal floor, a finding of dental surgeon’s interest. “Bridging Spur,” an uncommon form of spur deformity, is also recorded in one case. Conclusions: Deviated septum is far more common than straight septum in the adult population. Types III, II and IV are more frequent in subjects with increased mucosal thickening. Association of type VI with tilted floor and rare variants like “Bridging spur” is also reported.

“…Few studies have been reported on the Nigerian population using the anatomic metric method [27] as well as the radiologic method of sex determination using cranial dimensions [22,28,37], despite the miscegenation nature caused by diverse ethnic groups. This study provides a discriminant measurement for foramen magnum and occipital condyles which can be used when CT scan images of a broken piece of the skull are available for evaluation of sex among the adult Nigerian population.…”

“…Even though foramen magnum has the forensic potential to identify unknown skeletal stiff, few studies have been reported in the Nigerian population using both the anatomic metric method [27] as well as the radiologic method [22,28]. Therefore this study aims to evaluate the potential accuracy of foramen magnum dimensions to differentiate sex using a discriminant function analysis when a broken piece of skull's base is available for identification among the adult Nigerian population by Computed Tomography imaging.…”

Determination of sex is an important element of human identification which becomes challenging when only only fragments of body parts are available for investigation by forensic experts. This study was aimed at assessing the utility of foramen magnum parameters in the determination of sex among the Nigerian population. A retrospective study was conducted on patients attending National Ear Care Center Kaduna between the years 2017-2019. A total of 399 normal Multislice CT images of skulls (236 males and 163 females) of the age of 18 – 95 years were randomly picked from the archives of the Hospital in the computer database of the Radiology Department. The foramen magnum and occipital condyles parameters were measured by an experienced radiologist. Males tend to have a significantly higher mean value of foramen magnum width, Foramen Magnum Index, the length of the right occipital condyle, and the length of left occipital condyles as well as the width of the right occipital condyle at a p-value ≤ 0.05. The width of right occipital condyles was the only variable that got a significant (p ≤ 0.05) impact on our sex estimation following multiple logistic regression. However, by applying discriminate function analysis the length of the left occipital condyle and width of the right occipital condyle were the only discriminatory variables chosen for this study population. In conclusion, this study indicated that five variables of foramen magnum out of ten were statistically significantly different with males having higher mean values than females. Moreover, the only significant discriminatory variables to determine sex in this study population were the length of the left occipital condyle and the width of the right occipital condyle respectively.
