Abstract:
Objective:Analyze the imaging features of respiratory epithelial adenomatoid hamartoma(REAH) of olfactory clefts,to provide the basis for clinical diagnosis and treatment. Method:A retrospective study of 54 cases of nasal REAH of bilateral olfactory clefts confirmed by pathology were collected,analyze their imaging information. Result:All the lesions of 54 cases are located in olfactory cleft,sinus CT and MR show soft tissue shadows in olfactory cleft which grows expansive,extruding bilateral middle turbinate to the lateral sides,and it's like "the head of mushroom".All the cases are with different degree of sinusitis and nasal polyps. Conclusion:This kind of REAH has special imaging performance,and it's different from nasal polyp.So if clinical doctors can fully recognize this disease and completely resect the lesion of olfactory cleft in operation,we can increase the probability of treatment,and reduce the probability of postoperative recurrence.

The Larynx
It is located between the pharynx and the trachea, acts as a passageway for air, and hosts several critical structures, such as the epiglottis, vocal cords, and glottis. The epiglottis acts as a gateway, guiding food to the...

Respiratory Capacities
One key metric is the Inspiratory Capacity (IC), which represents the maximum amount of air that can be inhaled with full effort. IC is calculated by summing the tidal volume and inspiratory reserve volume, typically ranging from 2.4 to 3.6 liters.
