Twenty-six cases of thalassaemia major have been investigated for E.N.T. complications. Twelve (46 percent) had significantly problems requiring surgery. Since the prognosis of the disease is improving dramatically, these patients should not be denied treatment. bony hypertrophy of the turbinates was a noticeable feature in the untreated group and does not seem to have been described before.
对26例重型地中海贫血患者进行了耳鼻喉科并发症调查。其中12例（46%）有严重问题需要手术治疗。由于该疾病的预后正在显著改善，不应拒绝为这些患者提供治疗。鼻甲骨质增生是未治疗组的一个显著特征，此前似乎未见相关描述。
