This is a prospective observational cross sectional study comprising of 57 patients who were having symptoms of chronic rhinosinusitis which were evaluated with the help of computed tomography scan (coronal and axial sections) to measure the thickness of all walls of maxillary sinus and it's volume. Computed tomographic imaging of sinonasal region has become the gold standard in the evaluation of patients with chronic sinusitis. The maxillary sinus is pyramidal in shape with lateral wall of nose forming its base and its apex is directed towards zygomatic process. All three dimensions of the maxillary sinus were measured and the volume of each maxillary sinus was also calculated. Hyperostosis of maxillary sinus tended to increase maxillary sinus walls thickness which ultimately results into decrease in maxillary sinus volume in chronic rhinosinusitis patients.
这是一项前瞻性观察性横断面研究，包括57例有慢性鼻窦炎症状的患者，借助计算机断层扫描（冠状面和轴位）对其进行评估，以测量上颌窦各壁的厚度及其容积。鼻窦区域的计算机断层成像已成为慢性鼻窦炎患者评估的金标准。上颌窦呈金字塔形，鼻侧壁构成其底部，其尖部指向颧突。测量了上颌窦的所有三个维度，并计算了每个上颌窦的容积。在慢性鼻窦炎患者中，上颌窦骨质增生往往会增加上颌窦壁厚度，最终导致上颌窦容积减小。
