Septum Deviation and its Effect on Lateral Nasal Wall

Background: We aimed to investigate the Paranasal sinus tomographies relation between septum deviation and lateral nazal wall retrospectively in this study Material and Methods: Paranasal sinus images of 50 patients with lateral nasal wall and septum were examined. Clinically and radiologically, the septum was divided into three groups as anterior, posterior and anteroposterior. Radiological examination of the anatomical variations in the paranasal sinus and the deviation of the septum were investigated Results: In our study, concha bullosa was found in 36 %. In our study, 38 % of Agger Nazi cells were found. In our study, Haller cell was found in 18 % of the cases. In our study, Onodi cells were observed with a rate of 16 %. In our study, septum deviation was divided into 3 as anterior, posterior and anteroposterior. In 27 (54 %) of the cases, septum deviation was observed, 7 (14 %) of them were seen in anterior, 8 (16 %) were in posterior anterior and 12 (24 %) in anteroposterior direction Conclusion: There was no statistically significant association between septum deviation and anatomical variations. patients who are planned to be operated due to septum deviation should be examined by tomography preoperatively and lateral nasal wall / septum deviation / anatomical variations should be examined.
