The Relationship of Paranasal Region Morphometry with Anatomical Variations

Abstract

The aim of our study was to investigate the relationship of paranasal region morphometry with various anatomical variations in this region. The research is a retrospective study on paranasal computed tomography images. The research universe was obtained by retrospectively scanning 1200 CT images of January 2018 - December 2019 in the PACS archive of the Department of Radiology of Sivas Cumhuriyet Faculty of Medicine Hospital. A total of 453 individuals, 228 females and 225 males (18-82 years old) meeting the criteria for inclusion in the study were included. Individuals were grouped according to gender, age group, direction and degree of septum deviation. According to the results obtained from the study, there were significant differences in terms of gender in the parameters of SM, SF, SS, PCN, LPLC-LND, LND-CNT. Significant results were observed in SM, SF, ACN, LPLC-LND, LND-CNT values according to the degree of septum deviation. Relationships between NSD - NSS, NSP - OH, NSP - HH, NSP - NSS, DEB and HH, DEB and CGP, OH - UB were determined.

Paranasal Bölge Morfometrisinin Anatomik Varyasyonlarla İlişkisi

Abstract

Araştırmamız, septum nasi deviasyon derecesinin, sinus hacimleri ve cavitas nasi üzerindeki etkilerini değerlendirmek, aynı zamanda bu bölgede bulunan anatomik varyasyonları tespit etmek amacıyla yapıldı. Paranasal bilgisayarlı tomografi görüntüleri üzerinde retrospektif olarak yapılan çalışma, Sivas Cumhuriyet Üniversitesi’nde Radyoloji Anabilim Dalının PACS arşivinde bulunan 2018 Ocak-2019 Aralık ayına ait 228 kadın ve 225 erkek (18- 82 yaş) toplamda 453 birey ile yapıldı. Septum nasi deviasyon açısı ve tipinin paranasal bölgenin morfometrisi üzerine etkileri hacim ve uzunluk ölçümleri yapılarak değerlendirildi. Septum deviasyon açısı ölçülen bireyler septum deviasyonu derece ve yönüne göre gruplandırıldı. Araştırmadan elde edilen sonuçlara göre SM, SF, SS, PCN, LPLC-LND, LND-CNT parametrelerinde cinsiyet yönünden anlamlı farklılıklar mevcuttu. NSD’ye göre SM, SF, ACN, LPLC-LND, LND-CNT değerlerinde anlamlı sonuçlar gözlemlendi. Paranasal bölge anatomik varyasyonlarından NSD–NSS, NSP–OH, NSP–HH, NSP–NSS, DEB ile HH, DEB ile CGP, OH–UB arasında ilişki tespit edildi.
