Ct Evaluation of Anatomical Variations In Osteomeatal Complex in Patients with

ABSTRACT Background: The presence of septal deviation has been positively associated with sinus disease, especially osteomeatal complex disease and anterior and posterior ethmoid disease. Computerized tomographic imaging (CT) of the paranasal sinuses has become a widely accepted tool for assessing the paranasal sinuses (PNS) and providing a detailed anatomy of the lateral nasal wall. Objective: The objective of the study was to identify the anatomical variations of lateral nasal wall and paranasal sinuses in patients with Deviated nasal septum. Methods: Computerized tomographic (CT) examination was carried out using the bone algorithm in the coronal plane in 40 patients who met the inclusion criteria in the Postgraduate Department of Otorhinolaryngology and Head and Neck Surgery, SMHS Hospita
