To study the etiological role of concha bollosa in deviated nasal septum (DNS) and sinusitis.
In this retrospective study 419 consecutive CT scans of paranasal sinuses done between October 2005 and September 2007 were serially evaluated for the presence of concha, DNS and sinusitis.
Out of 419 CT scans evaluated, concha bullosa was present in 40.3% of patients. Among these, concha co-existent DNS was found in 87.5%, air column between DNS and concha was found in 88.5% and sinus disease was present in 69.2% of patients.
Presence of air column between DNS and concha excludes the etiological role of concha in DNS. Concha bullosa may predispose to sinusitis.
研究泡状鼻甲在鼻中隔偏曲(DNS)和鼻窦炎中的病因学作用。
在这项回顾性研究中,对2005年10月至2007年9月期间连续进行的419例鼻窦CT扫描进行了系列评估,以确定是否存在鼻甲、鼻中隔偏曲和鼻窦炎。
在评估的419例CT扫描中,40.3%的患者存在泡状鼻甲。其中,87.5%的患者泡状鼻甲与鼻中隔偏曲并存,88.5%的患者在鼻中隔偏曲和泡状鼻甲之间发现气柱,69.2%的患者存在鼻窦疾病。
鼻中隔偏曲和泡状鼻甲之间存在气柱排除了泡状鼻甲在鼻中隔偏曲中的病因学作用。泡状鼻甲可能易患鼻窦炎。
