This study was designed to compare the incidence of anatomical variations displayed on computerized tomography scans of individuals that identify as Polynesian or New Zealand Europeans.
A retrospective analysis of computerized tomography of the paranasal sinuses. All scans were examined for a number of anatomical variations and the prevalence directly compared according to ethnic group.
All scans were performed at a tertiary referral center (Dunedin Public Hospital).
Participants underwent computerized tomography of the paranasal sinuses for various indications. Ethnicity was determined from the electronic hospital record.
There was no significant difference in the prevalence of anatomical variations between Polynesians and New Zealand Europeans. Our study results are comparable with other studies of Caucasian paranasal sinus anatomy.
When performing endoscopic sinus surgery on those with Polynesian ethnicity, there are no specific anatomical variations to take into account.
本研究旨在比较在计算机断层扫描中显示的、自我认定为波利尼西亚人或新西兰欧洲人的个体的解剖变异发生率。
对鼻窦计算机断层扫描进行回顾性分析。检查所有扫描图像中的多种解剖变异，并根据种族直接比较其患病率。
所有扫描均在三级转诊中心（达尼丁公立医院）进行。
参与者因各种适应症接受鼻窦计算机断层扫描。种族由电子医院记录确定。
波利尼西亚人和新西兰欧洲人之间解剖变异的患病率没有显著差异。我们的研究结果与其他关于白种人鼻窦解剖的研究结果相当。
对波利尼西亚族裔的患者进行内窥镜鼻窦手术时，无需考虑特定的解剖变异。
