dc.description.abstractBackgroundThis study aimed to evaluate inferior turbinate hypertrophy caused by nasal septum deviation, nasal septal deviation (SD) angles, and age differences with the help of paranasal computed tomography (CT) and to investigate the relationship between these parameters. MethodologyThe paranasal sinus CT images of 100 patients (50 males and 50 females) were retrieved from the hospital's picture archiving and communication system. In this retrospective study, patients were examined in two groups. There were 50 patients aged >35 years in group 1 and 50 patients aged <35 years in group 2. The SD side was determined using a coronal image and was mentioned as the ipsilateral side. The contralateral side of the SD side was mentioned as the contralateral side. Additionally, the SD curve angle (SDCA), superior SD angle (SSDA), and diameters and mucosal thicknesses of the inferior turbinates were measured. Concomitant ipsilateral sinusitis and ipsilateral concha bullosa (in the middle concha) were also noted as present or absent.ResultsIn our study, the SDCA values of the >= 35-year age group were significantly higher than those of the <35-year age group (p < 0.05). Furthermore, the SSDA values of the >= 35-year age group were significantly lower than those of the <35-year age group (p < 0.05). In each of the age groups, ipsilateral inferior turbinate mucosal thickness and ipsilateral inferior turbinate diameter values were significantly higher than those of the contralateral sides (p < 0.05). Ipsilateral concha bullosa was present in 30.0% of the <35-year age group and 18.0% of the >= 35-year age group. Ipsilateral sinusitis was present in 34.0% of the <35-year age group and 52.0% of the >= 35-year age group.ConclusionsSD and inferior turbinate hypertrophies should be evaluated together and measured with paranasal CT to provide more efficient nasal aeration. Studies with larger patient series are needed to elucidate the etiology.
