Maxillary sinusitis in patients with cleft lip and palate is linked to nasal septal deviation and the cleft

Area of Science:

  • Otorhinolaryngology
  • Craniofacial Surgery
  • Medical Imaging

Background:

  • Cleft lip and palate (CLP) can cause anatomical variations in the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses.
  • These variations may predispose patients to sinusitis, impacting their overall health and surgical outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the relationship between nasal and paranasal sinus anatomy and sinusitis in patients with CLP.
  • To identify anatomical factors contributing to sinusitis in this patient population.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of computed tomographic (CT) scans from 47 patients with CLP.
  • Evaluation of nasal septal deviation, maxillary sinus soft tissue density, cross-sectional area, and floor height.
  • Correlation of anatomical findings with the presence and severity of sinusitis.

Related Experiment Videos

Main Results:

  • Nasal septal deviation was significantly correlated with the cleft side in unilateral CLP.
  • Sinusitis was more severe on the non-cleft and concave sides of the nasal septum.
  • The maxillary sinus floor was higher on the cleft side, potentially impacting tooth roots.

Conclusions:

  • Maxillary sinusitis in CLP patients is associated with the cleft side and nasal septal deviation, not sinus size.
  • The cleft side influences septal deviation and maxillary sinus floor height.
  • A low-lying sinus floor may be an etiologic factor in CLP-associated sinusitis.
