Background: Chronic Rhinosinosinusitis (CRS) is one of the common diseases affecting people globally with significant negative impact on quality of life. The objective of this study is to compare the efficacy of CT and nasal endoscopy finding for the evaluation of CRS in patients with persistant complains despite appropriate medical therapy. Methods: Patients attending ENT OPD of SIMS, with any complains of CRS for more than 4 weeks not responding to medical treatment. Patients are selected by Random sampling method. Results: The commonest major presenting symptom among the patients was observed as nasal obstruction and headache the minor factor. Males were affected more commonly on nasal endoscopy , the most common finding was congested nasal mucosa and mucopurulent nasal discharge .Frontal cells most commonly seen on Ct scan and maxillary sinus was most commonly involved .DNS is seen in both DNE and CT scan. Conclusion: CRS can be reliably identified using AAO-HNS Task force criteria 1997.Diseased ,oedematous or congested nasal mucosa ,purulence , pathological secretions or mucous in middle meatus and early polypoid changes have nonspecific features on coronal CT and endoscopy has essential role in diagnosing this pathology , is an outpatient procedure , relatively economic with no radiation hazard , however there are certain limitations of DNE which includes patients with gross DNS , constricted middle meatus , certain anatomical variants and presence of hidden air spaces like sphenoid sinus , ethmoidal bulla , haller cells , frontal cells ,posterior ethmoidal cells,etc .Hence we conclude that both are complimentary to each other.

BackgroundThis study was undertaken to assess the correlations between subjective symptom score in patients with chronic rhinosinusitis and endoscopic turbinoseptal relationship (TSR). AimTo assess the pattern of TSR and their correlations with symptom score in patients with chronic rhinosinusitis. Settings and designThis was an observational study in a tertiary/teaching hospital setting Patients and methods Consecutive pretreatment adults with chronic rhinosinusitis completed the sinonasal outcome test 22 (SNOT22) and had nasal endoscopy. At endoscopy, the TSR was determined, as well as the presence of nasal polyps. Statistical analysisMean SNOT22 score was calculated and TSR types were grouped and their distribution documented with types 3 and 4 taken as unfavorable types. χ 2 -Tests were used to determine the correlations between turbinoseptal types, presence of nasal polys, and SNOT22 scores with the level of significance set at P value up to 0.05. ResultsA total of 53 [23 (43.4%) men and 30 (56.6%) women] patients with a mean age of 42.5±18.6, completed the study. Median symptom duration was 36 weeks (13-112 weeks). Mean SNOT22 score was 29.7±2.8. Unfavorable TSR types were found in 42.5% of nostrils, more on the right (χ 2 =13.2; P≤0.01). There is no significant correlation between the presence of unfavorable TSR and worsening total SNOT22 scores [R (K-S=0.13 P=0.95) L (K-S=0.34, P=0.07)]. ConclusionUnfavorable TSR is common in patients with chronic rhinosinusitis. However, there is no correlation between the presence of abnormal TSR and symptom scores.

“…Concha bullosa (CB) is a pneumatized turbinate, most commonly involving the MNC, and its prevalence varies between 9% in non-rhinosinusitis patients [10] and even up to 76% in patients with chronic rhinosinusitis [37]. It can be divided into six types based on the localization and expansion of its aeration [11].…”
