“…Similarly, Göçmen et al32 reviewed 300 CBCT scans, were not able to demonstrate “a definite role for NSD, CB and Haller's cells on sinus pneumatization,” and suggested the need for further studies in order to clarify the relationship among these phenomena. In the present study, maxillary sinus asymmetry was not affected by the presence of CB and/or NSD, which is in agreement with the study conducted by Demir et al33 Uygur et al28 suggested that “the NSD angle plays an important role on the pneumatization of the concha on the opposite side.” In the present study, a non-statistically significant difference was observed between the angle of deviation and the direction of CB ( P <0.05). Kucybata et al34 retrospectively analyzed 214 paranasal sinus CT scans in order to investigate whether positivity for NSD and CB was associated with the occurrence of maxillary sinusitis, and concluded that only NSD was related to maxillary sinusitis.…”

Purpose To determine the prevalence of concha bullosa (CB) and nasal septal deviation (NSD) and their impact on maxillary sinus volume (MSV). Materials and Methods Cone-beam computed tomographic (CBCT) images of 106 Emirati people were used in this study. The direction and angle of septal deviation were calculated. The presence of CB, which could be unilateral, contralateral, or bilateral in relation to the direction of NSD, was also recorded. MSV was measured using reconstructed Digital Imaging and Communication in Medicine images on Dolphin 3D imaging software version 11.8 premium (Dolphin Imaging, Chatsworth, CA, USA). P values <0.05 were considered to indicate statistical significance. Results CB was detected in 37.7% of the sample; 20.7% of the sample showed single unilateral CB and 16.6% had single bilateral CB. NSD was seen in 74.5% of the sample. In the participants with CB, 45.5% showed mild deviation, 34.4% showed moderate deviation, and only 12.5% showed severe septal deviation. CB, but not NSD, was associated with significantly higher MSV on the affected side ( P =0.001). Conclusion Although NSD was observed in more than two-thirds of the sample and CB was present in more than one-third of the sample, only CB had a significant impact on MSV.

“…In our study, the presence of anatomical variants, such as NSD and CB, did not influence the left-right asymmetry of the maxillary sinuses, similarly to the study by Demir et al [48]. However, there seems to be a connection between larger volume of the maxillary sinuses and symmetrically disturbed ventilation caused by bilateral CB.…”

SummaryBackgroundThe aim of the study was to assess if the presence of nasal septal deviation and concha bullosa is connected with the development of sinuses and the incidence of inflammation within them.Material/MethodsWe retrospectively analysed 214 patients who underwent paranasal sinus computed tomography. There were 125 females and 89 males, the mean age being 47.67±16.74 years (range 18–97). Exclusion criteria included: age under 18 years, prior sinonasal surgery and S-shaped septum.ResultsMean volume of the right maxillary sinus was 17.794 cm3, while for the left one it was 17.713 cm3. Nasal septal deviation was found in 79.9% of computed tomography examinations and concha bullosa was observed in 42.1% of the patients’ examinations. There was an association between the presence of unilateral or dominant concha bullosa and contralateral direction of septal deviation [right-sided (p=0.039), left-sided (p=0.003)]. There was higher incidence of bilateral maxillary sinusitis in patients with septal deviation (p=0.007). Bilateral concha bullosa did not influence the incidence of bilateral maxillary sinusitis (p=0.495). Neither septal deviation (right sided: p=0.962; left-sided: p=0.731), nor unilateral/dominant concha bullosa (right: p=0.512; left: p=0,430) affected the asymmetry in volumes of maxillary sinuses. Bilateral concha bullosa was connected with larger volume of maxillary sinuses (right sinus: p=0.005; left sinus: p=0.048).ConclusionsNasal septal deviation, contrary to concha bullosa, has influence on the development of maxillary sinusitis. There is a connection between the presence of concha bullosa and direction of septal deviation. Only bilateral concha bullosa affects maxillary sinus volumes.

“…The results of this study showed that the average volume of the right maxillary sinus was 17297.75±6153.71mm 3 , and the average volume of the left maxillary sinus was 16973.45±6008.41mm 3 . There was no signi cant difference between bilateral maxillary sinuses, which is consistent with the previous studies [9,20,21] . Therefore, only the right maxillary sinuses were compared between the three groups of vertical growth patterns.…”

Background The maxillary sinus has been considered as an important factor that affects the development of craniomaxillofacial bone. However, the correlation between the maxillary sinus and skeletal malocclusion is controversial. This study aimed to compare the dimensions of the maxillary sinus in patients with different vertical growth patterns and investigated the correlation between the maxillary sinus and craniofacial parameters.Methods This descriptive study included 90 patients from age 15 to 20 years old. According to the vertical growth patterns that were classified by MP-FH (angle between the mandibular plane and Frankfort horizontal plane), they were equally divided into three groups: high-, low- and normal-angle, and the gender ratio was 1:1. Cephalometric tracings were conducted from CBCT images, which were also used to measure the dimensions and volume of the maxillary sinus. Data were analyzed with one-way ANOVA, Pearson’s correlation coefficient, and multiple comparison LSD.Results The variables of the maxillary sinus, including the volume, length, and width, among different groups, were significant(p<0.05). The variables of mandibular body length were significantly correlated with the volume of the maxillary sinus (p<0.01), and the coefficient was 0.425.Conclusions The maxillary sinus volume, length, and width were larger in low-angle patients. The mandibular body length had a significantly positive correlation with the maxillary sinus volume.

Anatomical correlation between existence of concha bullosa and maxillary sinus volume

Abstract: In conclusion, concha bullosa is a common anatomical variation at nasal cavity. The existence of concha bullosa does not have any association with the volume of maxillary sinus and angle of uncinate process.
