There are only few reports describing the texture of the inferior turbinate bone in normal and pathologic conditions. In this study, different types of human inferior turbinate bones were classified and radiological features of each type were defined.
The shape, structure and density of the inferior turbinate bones were evaluated using paranasal sinus computed tomography images of 283 patients. The cross-sectional areas of the bony part of the inferior turbinate were measured in bone windows.
Human inferior turbinate bones were classified into four groups on the basis of different shape and structure as: Type I, lamellar; Type II, compact; Type III, combined type (compact with spongious component); Type IV, bullous. The distribution was as follows: 352 (62.19%) lamellar, 50 (8.83%) compact, 162 (28.63%) combined, and 2(0.35%) bullous type.
Inferior turbinate bone is not in a uniform shape and structure. These diversities should be taken into consideration in radiological and clinical evaluation.
仅有少数报告描述了正常和病理状态下下鼻甲骨质的质地。在本研究中,对不同类型的人下鼻甲骨质进行了分类,并明确了每种类型的影像学特征。
使用283例患者的鼻窦计算机断层扫描图像评估下鼻甲骨质的形状、结构和密度。在骨窗中测量下鼻甲骨质部分的横截面积。
根据不同的形状和结构,人下鼻甲骨质分为四组:I型,板层状;II型,致密型;III型,复合型(致密型与海绵状成分);IV型,泡状。分布情况如下:板层状352例(62.19%),致密型50例(8.83%),复合型162例(28.63%),泡状2例(0.35%)。
下鼻甲骨质的形状和结构并不统一。在影像学和临床评估中应考虑到这些差异。
