The objective of this study was to determine the prevalence of concha bullosa and nasal septal deviation and their potential relationships to maxillary sinusitis. 883 CT scans taken at Creighton University School of Dentistry from 2005 to 2008 were retrospectively reviewed for the presence of concha bullosa, nasal septal deviation, and maxillary sinusitis. 67.5% of patients exhibited pneumatization of at least one concha, 19.4% of patients had a deviated septum, and 50.0% had mucosal thickening consistent with maxillary sinusitis. 49.3% of patients who had concha bullosa also had evidence of maxillary sinusitis. Only 19.5% of patients with concha bullosa also had nasal septal deviation, whereas 19.7% of patients with sinusitis also presented with nasal septal deviation. Although concha bullosa is a common occurrence in the nasal cavity, there did not appear to be a statistically significant relationship between the presence of concha bullosa or nasal septal deviation and maxillary sinusitis.

We aimed to investigate the relationships among concha bullosa (CB), nasal septal deviation (NSD), and sinus disease. We retrospectively reviewed paranasal sinus computed tomography scans obtained from 296 patients—132 men and 164 women, aged 17 to 76 years (median: 39)—who had been evaluated over a 19-month period. CBs were classified as lamellar, bulbous, and extensive. In cases of bilateral CB, the larger side was designated as dominant. In all, 132 patients (44.6%) exhibited pneumatization of at least one concha, 176 (59.5%) had NSD, and 187 (63.2%) had sinus disease. Some 89 of 106 patients with unilateral or one-side-dominant CB (84.0%) had NSD, 89 of 132 patients with CB (67.4%) had sinus disease, and 109 of the 176 patients with NSD (61.9%) had sinus disease. We found a statistically significant relationship between CB and contralateral NSD, but no significant relationship between CB and sinus disease or NSD and sinus disease. While CB is a common anatomic problem that may accompany NSD, a causal relationship between CB or NSD and sinus disease is dubious.

Introduction: Nasotracheal intubation (NTI) is preferred for general anesthesia in maxillofacial surgery. However, NTI is often traumatic or even unsuccessful, particularly in patients with a narrow nasal pathway. In this case report, we describe a less traumatic NTI approach using maxillary downfracture of Le Fort I osteotomy. Case presentation: A 19-year-old woman was admitted with a skeletal Class III malocclusion and scheduled to undergo bimaxillary orthognathic surgery. A preoperative evaluation revealed no other medical history and abnormal laboratory findings. Preoperative computed tomography showed nasal septal deviation, concha bullosa, and turbinate hypertrophy. A nasal Ring-Adair-Elwyn endotracheal tube and a tube exchanger could not be inserted via NTI because of her narrow nasal cavity. An oral intubation was performed temporarily and surgery was started. After a maxillary downfracture was performed, which made the nasal cavity wider than before, NTI was successfully conducted without difficulty. The patient was ventilated without any problems, and the operation was continued. Postoperatively, the patient had no further complications and her vital parameters were all stable. Conclusions: This case report suggests that NTI after maxillary downfracture of Le Fort I osteotomy can be a good alternative that can be successfully performed with less trauma in patients undergoing orthognathic surgery who are preoperatively evaluated as having a narrow nasal cavity.

This study aims to determine the relationship between nasal septal deviation, concha bullosa, and chronic rhinosinusitis by using a definitive pathological and simplified model. Fifty-two consecutive sinus computed tomography scans were performed on patients who received endoscopic sinus surgery and whose final diagnosis was paranasal sinus fungus balls. The incidences of nasal septal deviation and concha bullosa for patients diagnosed with paranasal sinus fungus balls among the study group were 42.3% and 25%, respectively. About 63.6% sinuses with fungus balls were located on the ipsilateral side of the nasal septal deviation, and 46.2% were located on the ipsilateral side of the concha bullosa. When examined by Pearson’s chi-square test and the chi-squared goodness-of-fit test, no significant statistical difference for the presence of paranasal sinus fungus balls between ipsilateral and contralateral sides of nasal septal deviation and concha bullosa was noted (P=0.292andP=0.593, resp.). In conclusion, we could not demonstrate any statistically significant correlation between the location of infected paranasal sinus, the direction of nasal septal deviation, and the location of concha bullosa, in location-limited rhinosinusitis lesions such as paranasal sinus fungal balls. We conclude that the anatomical variants discussed herein do not predispose patients to rhinosinusitis.
