Abstract
ABSTRACT:Objective: To evaluate the role of CT scan of nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses in preoperative assessment of anatomicalvariants and in determining their frequencies.Materials and Methods: This descriptive study was done as a part of residency training for FCPS in the subject of Radiologyon 132 patients who visited the hospital, Sindh Institute of Urology and Transplantation (SIUT) from March 2012 to April 2013.All CT scans were reviewed for presence of concha bullosa, variations of uncinate process, haller cell, onodi cells, aggernasicells, ethmoid bulla, paradoxical middle turbinate, deviated nasal septum (DNS), pneumatization in the nasal septum, superiorand middle turbinate, and uncinate process. Frequencies of all anatomical variants were calculated using SPSS version 16.Results: Deviated nasal septum was found to be the most frequent variant 31% followed by Concha bullosa 18.9% and variationsin uncinate process 12%.
