Abstract:
Numerous publications on the classification of the nasal septum deformity (deviation) are mainly related to the anterior septal parts and the development of this pathology in the adult population. None of the available classifications contain the detail of the vomer deformities, required to select an algorithm for subsequent doctor's actions, as well as considering the clinical and anatomical features of this zone in children with congenital choanal atresia (CCA) or in its isolated deformity.
Objective:
To develop the classification of the vomer's deformities variants based on an analysis of CT of the paranasal sinuses (PNSs) in children with CCA and isolated deformity of the vomer, determining the choice of tactical and technical surgical treatment options.
Material And Methods:
The classification is based on analysis of computed tomography of the PNSs of 334 children with CCA and isolated vomer deformity.
Results:
The vomer displacement towards the injured side was observed in the unilateral form of choanal atresia, thus arcuate, angular and lateral vomer displacement was revealed in the coronal plane. The following variants of the vomer deformity have been identified in the assessment of axial plane: S-shaped displacement towards the atresia when unilateral or towards one of sides, angular displacement by the type of crista, uniform displacement towards atresia, hyperplasia of the vomer's posterior edge, splitting of the vomer. The proposed classification systematizes numerous variants of the vomer's deformities, defined in the axial and coronal planes.
Conclusion:
The classification is the basis of the algorithm for selecting technical options and methods of surgical treatment of patients with CCA, choanal stenosis and isolated vomer deformity.

Regions of the Vertebral Column
In an adult, the spine is subdivided into five regions: the cervical, the thoracic, the lumbar, the sacral, and the coccygeal region. The spine initially develops as a series of 33 vertebrae; after 20 years of age, the nine bones in the sacral region, five sacral, and four coccygeal bones fuse to form...
01:09Functional Classification of Joints
The functional classification of joints is determined by the amount of mobility between the adjacent bones. Joints are functionally classified as a synarthrosis or immobile joint, an amphiarthrosis or slightly moveable joint, or as a diarthrosis, a freely moveable joint. Fibrous and cartilaginous joints can be functionally classified as either synarthroses or amphiarthroses, whereas all synovial joints are classified as diarthroses.

01:14Cranial Bones: Superior and Posterior View
The frontal bone is the single bone that forms the forehead. At its anterior midline, between the eyebrows, there is a slight depression called the glabella. The frontal bone also forms the supraorbital margin of the orbit. Near the middle of this margin is the supraorbital foramen, the opening that provides passage for a sensory nerve to the forehead. The frontal bone is thickened just above each supraorbital margin,...

Sutures are immobile joints between adjacent bones of the skull. The narrow gap between the bones is filled with dense, fibrous connective tissue that unites the bones. The long sutures located between the skull bones are not straight but instead follow irregular, tightly twisting paths. These twisting lines tightly...

The temporal bone forms the lower lateral side of the skull. The temporal bone is subdivided into several regions. The flattened upper portion is the squamous portion of the temporal bone. Below this area and projecting anteriorly is the zygomatic process of the temporal bone, which forms the posterior portion of the zygomatic arch. Posteriorly is the mastoid portion of the temporal bone. Projecting...
