| Abstract (English): | Background: Deviated nasal septum (DNS) changes aerodynamic airflow pattern and increases nasal resistance that may affect paranasal sinus pneumatization. Objectives: To explore the relationships among DNS, sphenoid bone pneumatization and surrounding neurovascular structures. Material and Methods: The paranasal sinus CT images of DNS patients (n = 100) and patients without DNS (n = 60) between 2020 and 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. Sphenoid bone pneumatization and anterior clinoid processes (ACP) length were measured while surrounding neurovascular structure types were assessed. Results: In the DNS group, the indicators demonstrating sphenoid bone pneumatization were significantly (p < 0.001) greater than that in the control group. There were no statistically significant differences in the indicators demonstrating the positions of vidian canal (VC) and foramen rotundum (FR) between two groups. Regarding proportion of different neurovascular structure grades, the findings were significant (p < 0.05) between two groups. The corrected sphenoid sinus area also correlated with surrounding neurovascular structure types. Conclusions and significance: Severe DNS is significantly related to the sphenoid bone pneumatization and surrounding neurovascular structure. This suggests that clinicians should be aware of the anatomical variation of sphenoid bone pneumatization and the cranial base structures in DNS patients. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
| Abstract (Chinese): | 鼻中隔偏曲(DNS)改变空气动力学气流模式, 增加鼻腔阻力, 可能影响鼻旁窦气化。 探讨DNS、蝶骨气化和周围神经血管结构之间的关系。 回顾性分析2020年至2022年DNS患者(n = 100)和非DNS患者(n = 60)的鼻旁窦CT图像。测量蝶骨气化和前床突(ACP)长度, 同时评估周围神经血管结构类型。 DNS组显示蝶骨气化的指标明显(p < 0.001)高于对照组。两组间翼管 (VC) 和圆孔 (FR) 位置指标差异均无统计学意义。至于不同神经血管结构等级的比例, 两组间差异有统计学意义 (p < 0.05)。矫正后的蝶窦面积也与周围神经血管结构类型相关。 重度 DNS 与蝶骨气化和周围神经血管结构有显著相关性, 提示临床医生应注意 DNS 患者蝶骨气化和颅底结构的解剖差异。 [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
