Abstract:
Objective:To study the CT features of patients with chronic rhinosinusitis(CRS) complicated with bronchial asthma(BA). Method: Thirty-three cases of CRS with BA in patients with chronic sinusitis, 60 cases of CRS patients as control group, statistical Lund-Mackay sinus CT score and the incidence of nasal anatomical variation. Result:The anatomical variation types in the two groups were mainly nasal septum deviation, middle turbinate gasification, uncinate process, Onodi air chamber, Lund and-Mackay sinus CT score. There were significant differences in the total scores, and the significant differences were located in the anterior and posterior ethmoid sinus and OMC regions. Conclusion:The anatomical abnormalities in the OMC region and the high score of the sinusoidal Lund-Mackay CT are the high-risk features of CRS with BA, can be used as an important indicator to judge the severity and prognosis of CRS.

The Bronchial Tree
The trachea, commonly known as the windpipe, is a tube that connects the larynx (voice box) to the bronchi. At a point called the carina, it bifurcates into two primary bronchi. The right primary bronchus is wider, shorter, and more vertical than the left primary...
