This study was conducted to evaluate whether concha bullosa (CB) and nasal septum pneumatization (NSP) have an impact on nasal septum deviation (NSD) and to determine the prevalence of CB and NSP in a subgroup of the Turkish population in the Mediterranean region.
CBCT images of 230 patients were evaluated retrospectively for the presence of CB, NSP and NSD. CB was defined as the presence of any size of pneumatization within the superior, middle, or inferior turbinate. CB laterality, NSP, NSD, age and gender were also recorded. Data analysis was performed with SPSS. Statistical significance was considered to be p < 0.05.
66.5 % of the patients had at least one CB, 59.1% of the patients had NSP and 50% of the patients had NSD. While there was no significant difference between the prevalence of concha bullosa and nasal septum pneumatization and gender, there was a significant difference between the prevalence of nasal septum pneumatization and age (p = 0.026). There was no relationship between NSD and CB and NSP.
Despite the hypothesis that CB and NSP impact NSD, this study indicates that there is no relationship between NSD and CB/NSP.
本研究旨在评估泡状鼻甲(CB)和鼻中隔气化(NSP)是否对鼻中隔偏曲(NSD)有影响,并确定地中海地区土耳其人群亚组中CB和NSP的患病率。
回顾性评估230例患者的CBCT图像,以确定是否存在CB、NSP和NSD。CB定义为上、中或下鼻甲内存在任何大小的气化。还记录了CB的侧别、NSP、NSD、年龄和性别。使用SPSS进行数据分析。统计学显著性设定为p < 0.05。
66.5%的患者至少有一个CB,59.1%的患者有NSP,50%的患者有NSD。泡状鼻甲和鼻中隔气化的患病率与性别之间无显著差异,但鼻中隔气化的患病率与年龄之间存在显著差异(p = 0.026)。NSD与CB和NSP之间无关联。
尽管有假说认为CB和NSP会影响NSD,但本研究表明NSD与CB/NSP之间不存在关联。
