Introduction: The anatomy of organs of ENT is a herculean task to understand and evaluate in the whole human anatomy. Knowledge about the possible variabilities is never complete, since there is always a scope to understand better and know more. Many studies have been undertaken in the past to understand better the already existing knowledge about the various anatomical details in the nose and paranasal sinuses causing chronic rhinosinusitis. The present study was carried to know the details of variations in anatomy of nose and paranasal sinuses causing chronic sinusitis. Material and Methods: A Cross sectional study conducted over a period of two years, in patients presenting to ENT OPD with symptoms and signs and chronic rhinosinusitis, in a setting of tertiary hospital, with the requisite investigative protocols. Patients meeting the inclusion criteria were included in the study and subjected to the prescribed interventions. Results: Observations gathered from this study are-of the 65patients included, 86.1% had septal deformities, 58.4% had Concha bullosa, 52.3% had Agger Nasi, 15.3% had Haller Cell, 13% had Paradoxical Middle Turbinate, 4.6% had Everted Uncinate Process, 3% had Enlarged Bulla. Conclusion: Sinonasal anatomy is different in each individual, with various combined variations also.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
