“…10 In a study involving comparison of the sinus CT scans of 73 asymptotic patients with 461 symptomatic patients, middle turbinate variations and bony septal deviation were not found to be associated with disease. 11 It is possible that our findings differ from those reported in previous studies principally due to study design. We have sought to compare anatomical differences between subgroups of CRS, whereas in the studies we have reviewed, comparisons between the extent of sinonasal disease (local vs pansinusitis) and its correlation with anatomical variations were not reported.…”

BackgroundSinusitis is an inflammation of the paranasal sinuses that can be caused by anatomic variations of the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses. In this study we aimed to find the relationship between sinusitis and septal deviation (SeD) and concha bullosa.MethodsTwo trained resident of ENT evaluated sinus CT scans of 463 cases presenting with nasal obstruction or chronic sinusitis symptoms from April 2011 to December 2011. CT scans were checked for the presence of conchae bullosa and the degree of septal deviation. The severity of sinusitis was evaluated according to the Lund Mackay criteria. The frequency of patients with different degrees of SeD and different grades of chronic sinusitis were studied.ResultsOf 463 cases, 47% had septal deviation. Concha bullosa was seen in 16.8% of the patients in the left side and 27.6% of them in the right side. There was no significant relationship between the presence of concha bullosa and the severity of sinusitis. Also the P value of analytical tests between the severity of sinusitis, osteomeatal involvement and the degree of septal deviation was not significant. Analysis of the relationship between the presence of SeD (either to right or left) and the severity of sinusitis in different sinuses revealed no significant P value.ConclusionsBy this study, the relationship between concha bullosa in osteomeatal complex and the severity of sinusitis was not cleared. No relationship was found between the severity of sinusitis, osteomeatal involvement and the degree of septal deviation. Also SeD (either to right or left) was not found to be associated with the severity of sinusitis in different sinuses.

“…In contrast, Nouraei et al 457 and Bolger et al 99 found no relationship between anatomical variations of the MT or other structures that could affect the OMC and impact on LM score. Similarly, Cho et al 102 noted no correlation between MT variations or NSD and presence of sinus inflammation on CT scan.…”

“…Anatomic variations that may contribute to the pathophysiology of CRSsNP (ostensibly by narrowing sinus ostia) are generally divided into those that affect the OMC or those that affect frontal sinus drainage, although both pathways may be affected. 16,99,101,102,108,[453][454][455][456][457][458][459] Examples of OMC variations include concha bullosae, paradoxical curvature of the MT, infraorbital ethmoid (Haller) cells, and NSD. Frontal sinus drainage obstruction may be caused by Type 1-4 frontal sinus cells, supraorbital cells, suprabullar cells, frontal bullar cells, and intersinus septal cells.…”

Background:The body of knowledge regarding rhinosinusitis (RS) continues to expand, with rapid growth in number of publications, yet substantial variability in the quality of those presentations. In an effort to both consolidate and critically appraise this information, rhinologic experts from around the world have produced the International Consensus Statement on Allergy and Rhinology: Rhinosinusitis (ICAR:RS). Methods:Evidence-based reviews with recommendations (EBRRs) were developed for scores of topics, using previously reported methodology. Where existing evidence was insufficient for an EBRR, an evidence-based review (EBR) was produced. The sections were then synthesized and the entire manuscript was then reviewed by all authors for consensus. Results:The resulting ICAR:RS document addresses multiple topics in RS, including acute RS (ARS), chronic RS (CRS) with and without nasal polyps (CRSwNP and CRSsNP), recurrent acute RS (RARS), acute exacerbation of CRS (AE-CRS), and pediatric RS. Conclusion:As a critical review of the RS literature, ICAR:RS provides a thorough review of pathophysiology and evidence-based recommendations for medical and surgical treatment. It also demonstrates the significant gaps in our understanding of the pathophysiology and optimal management of RS. Too o en the foundation upon which these recommendations are based is comprised of lowerlevel evidence. It is our hope that this summary of the evidence in RS will point out where additional research efforts may be directed. C 2016 ARS-AAOA, LLC.

Do Anatomic Variations of the Middle Turbinate Have an Effect on Nasal Septal Deviation or Paranasal Sinusitis?

Abstract: Anatomic variations of the middle turbinate have an effect on bony septal deviations to the contralateral side. However, middle turbinate variations and bony septal deviation are not associated with chronic sinusitis.
