[Septum deviation and concomitant sinusitis].

R G Matschke, A Fiebach

    HNO
    |December 1, 1985
    PubMed
    Summary

    Nasal septum deviations often correlate with paranasal sinus disease. Pre-operative diagnosis of sinusitis is crucial before nasal septum surgery, with radiography and ultrasound proving reliable.

    Advances in oto-rhino-laryngology·1995

    Area of Science:

    • Otolaryngology
    • Medical Imaging
    • Rhinology

    Context:

    • Nasal obstruction due to septal deformities is commonly linked to paranasal sinus disease.
    • Investigating the relationship between septal deviation, nasal obstruction, and sinus pathology is essential for effective treatment.
    • Pre-operative assessment of paranasal sinuses is vital before septal surgery.

    Purpose:

    • To investigate the relationship between septal deviation, rhinomanometrically determined nasal obstruction, and paranasal sinus disease.
    • To evaluate the reliability of non-invasive diagnostic methods (radiography, ultrasonography) for assessing paranasal sinuses.
    • To determine the necessity of pre-operative sinusitis diagnosis before nasal septum surgery.

    Summary:

    • A study of 150 patients with septal deviation and nasal obstruction supported the hypothesis linking these conditions to sinus disease.
    • Non-invasive methods like radiography and ultrasound were found to be reliable for diagnosing sinus issues.
    • Nearly half of the patients required therapy for paranasal sinuses, highlighting the importance of pre-operative diagnosis.

    Impact:

    • Confirms the association between nasal septum deformities and paranasal sinus disease.
    • Highlights the efficacy of non-invasive imaging techniques in diagnosing sinus pathology.
    • Emphasizes the critical need for pre-operative sinusitis diagnosis to optimize outcomes of nasal septum surgery.
