Since the last 120 years there were only few descriptions of the anatomical sizes of the inferior turbinate in the literature. On this background the current study should evaluate the radiological dimensions of the inferior turbinate and the septum using DVT.
The latest generation of the Accu-I-tomo was used. The data of 100 adult patients have been evaluated.
The bony length was found to be 38.9 mm, the mucosal length 51.0 mm. The findings of the total mucosal thickness at different measuring points were between 8.1 mm and 10.9 mm, those of the bony thickness were between 0.9 mm and 2.3 mm and those of the bony height were between 3.9 mm and 20.8 mm.
The results of this radiological study are able to point out the importance of preoperative anatomical evaluation of radiological images. The preoperative focus on the individual anatomy is very important because of the choice of an adequate surgical treatment. Today new radiological techniques can help to find out whether the reason for hypertrophied turbinates is caused by bone, mucosa or both. This knowledge enables a concerted treatment concept.
在过去的 120 年里,文献中仅有少数关于下鼻甲解剖尺寸的描述。在此背景下,本研究应使用 DVT 评估下鼻甲和鼻中隔的影像学尺寸。
使用最新一代的 Accu-I-tomo。评估了 100 名成年患者的数据。
骨性长度为 38.9 毫米,黏膜长度为 51.0 毫米。在不同测量点的总黏膜厚度发现为 8.1 毫米至 10.9 毫米,骨厚度为 0.9 毫米至 2.3 毫米,骨高度为 3.9 毫米至 20.8 毫米。
这项影像学研究的结果能够指出术前对影像学图像进行解剖评估的重要性。由于选择适当的手术治疗,术前关注个体解剖结构非常重要。如今,新的影像学技术可以帮助确定鼻甲肥大的原因是骨、黏膜还是两者都有。这些知识使我们能够制定出协调一致的治疗方案。
