Abstract Objectives The nasal septal body (NSB) is the thickened area of the septum located superior to the inferior turbinates and anterior to the middle turbinates. NSB contributes to nasal breathing via functionally and anatomically. The aim of the present study was to analyze NSB size and its association with such variables as age, septal deviation, and nasal turbinate size Material and Methods This retrospective study included 381 randomly selected patients that underwent paranasal sinus CT between 2014 and 2019. NSB size, septal deviation angle, and middle and inferior turbinate size were analyzed. Results NSB, inferior turbinate, middle turbinate, and inferior turbinate-P were significantly smaller on the deviated side. NSB, inferior turbinate, middle turbinate, and inferior turbinate-P size according to nasal septal angle was also significantly smaller on the deviated side. NSB and inferior turbinate size was positively correlated. Conclusion The NSB is an important structure for the regulation of air flow in the nose and should be evaluated in routine examination of the nose especially before the nasal surgery.

Background: Deviation of the nasal septum (DNS) refers to the convexity of the septum to one side disturbing the nasal physiology with obstructed nasal breathing leading to lateral nasal wall abnormalities and paranasal sinuses (PNS) mucosal disease. Knowledge of nasal morphological parameters plays an important role in planning successful nasal surgery. Our aim was to evaluate the angle of septal deviation (ASD) on CT scan and study its influence on the lateral nasal wall abnormalities and PNS mucosal disease.Methods: A prospective cross-sectional observational study was conducted on 130 patients with clinical evidence of DNS and chronic sinusitis. The direction and severity of DNS was recorded on CT scan along with evaluation of lateral nasal wall and sinus mucosal abnormalities.Results: Increasing ASD had statistically significant correlation with the lateral nasal wall abnormalities, most commonly, contralateral middle and inferior turbinate hypertrophy (p-value <0.0001). No significant association was found with the incidence of ipsilateral or contralateral osteomeatal complex (OMC) obstruction and sinus mucosal disease.Conclusions: The direction and severity of septal deviation has significant impact on contralateral middle and inferior turbinate hypertrophy. The analysis of these ancillary pathologies can be of great help to the surgeon in better management of patients with nasal obstruction.

In the presence of a paradoxically curved middle nasal turbinate, treatment tactics may be different. To achieve the best effect in the treatment of chronic rhinosinusitis, in some cases, a complete resection of the middle nasal turbinate is performed. However, in this group of patients in the postoperative period, complaints may appear from the quality of nasal breathing, which is associated with the development of paradoxically difficult breathing, when with sufficient passage of the air jet, the patient complains of difficulty in nasal breathing. Also, these patients are characterized by a decrease in the sense of smell. It is important that the absence of the middle nasal turbinate during repeated surgical interventions deprives the surgeon of an important anatomical landmark. We want to share a clinical example in which we received a positive outcome of surgical treatment in a patient with chronic left-sided rhinosinusitis in the presence of a paradoxically curved middle nasal turbinate and a slightly deviated nasal septum. In order to restore ventilation of the anterior group of the paranasal sinuses, the lateral part of the paradoxically curved middle nasal turbinate was removed with its preservation and expansion of the natural anastomosis of the maxillary sinus. In the postoperative period, the patient noted a significant improvement in her condition and did not make any previous complaints. This clinical case demonstrates that the middle nasal turbinate plays an important role in the functioning of the nasal cavity, in particular the osteomeatal complex, and in various anatomical variants can disrupt its work, both in combination with other structural features of the lateral nasal wall, and in isolation. In this connection, during the surgical treatment, a sparing, organ-preserving technique was chosen in order to preserve the functions of the middle turbinate, which in the postoperative period led to the achievement of a stable positive result.

AbstractObjectiveThe nasal septal swell body is a normal anatomical structure located in the superior nasal septum anterior to the middle turbinate. However, the impact of the septal swell body in nasal breathing during normal function and disease remains unclear. This study aimed to establish that the septal swell body varies in size over time and correlates this with the natural variation of the inferior turbinates.MethodConsecutive patients who underwent at least two computed tomography scans were identified. The width and height of the septal swell body and the inferior turbinates was recorded. A correlation between the difference in septal swell body and turbinates between the two scans was performed using a Pearson's coefficient.ResultsA total of 34 patients (53 per cent female with a mean age of 58.3 ± 20.2 years) were included. The mean and mean difference in septal swell body width between scans for the same patient was 1.57 ± 1.00 mm. The mean difference in turbinate width between scans was 2.23 ± 2.52 mm. A statistically significant correlation was identified between the difference in septal swell body and total turbinate width (r = 0.35, p = 0.04).ConclusionThe septal swell body is a dynamic structure that varies in width over time in close correlation to the inferior turbinates. Further research is required to quantify its relevance as a surgical area of interest.

Introduction: Mucormycosis is a aggressive and most dangerous type of oppurtunistic Fungal infection. This disease starts commonly from Nose and Para nasal Sinuses. Many a times Middle Turbinate alone and some time both Middle and Inferior Turbinate are affected. This Fungi invades the Arteries more than the Veins and produce Thrombus and further reduces blood supply to concerned region and later on resulting in Necrosis of soft and Hard tissues , which was seen clinically as Black coloured “ Eschar”, the characteristic Endoscopic nding of Mucormycosis. Objectives: To Study about the effects Mucormycosis in the Turbinate, Septum and Floor of Nasal Cavity and to know the Effect of Septal Deviation in development of Sinusitis and further development of Mucormycosis. Study Design: Analytical Study, Retrospective Study. Materials And Method: This study was conducted in Govt Thanjavur Medical College, in Department of E.N.T and Head and Neck Surgery, from May 2021 to July 2021. Total Number of cases taken for study was 81 cases. Cases with Orbital and Pterygo Palatine Fossae and Infra Temporal Fossae involvement and Intra cranial involvement are excluded from the study. All cases are subjected to DNE and classied according to ndings. All cases under went Endoscopic Sinus Surgery and tissues sent for HPE and Fungal culture, followed by Systemic Amphotericin and Regular Post Operative Follow up for 4-6 weeks. Results: Males are involved more in numbers (48) than Females. Commonest age group involved are 21 to 40years. Strong Positive association present between Post Covid-19 status and Diabetes. Middle Turbinate involved in more number (34cases), followed by Inferior Turbinate (21 cases) and Septum (18 cases). Most common Anatomical factor present are High Septal Deviation (60 cases) and Osteo Meatal Complex (OMC) crowding (56 cases). Discussion: Mucormycosis is a Fulminant Fungal infection, which is common in Immunodecient individuals. Patients with Uncontrolled Diabetes Mellitus, on Prolonged Steroid therapy and Post COVID_19 status are very much prone for this infections. Angio invasion to Arteries and the resultant formation of Thrombi and Gangrene of involved areas is characteristic of Mucor. Black coloured dead tissue is called as ESCHAR. Depending upon the Arterial involvement Anterior half of Middle Turbinate or Posterior half of Middle Turbinate is involved, Posterior half of septum or entire septum is also involved. High septal deviation gives indirect disturbances to Osteo Meatal Complex functions resulting in development of Sinusitis and further chances of developing Mucormycosis. Early Surgical debridement of dead tissues followed by Inj.Amphotericin is very important in restriction of Disease spread. Proper management of predisposing factors and Postoperative Regular Weekly follow up and Endo Cleaning reduces the Recurrences. Conclusion:In our Study Males are affected more in numbers. 21-40 years are affected more. High Septal Deviation and OMC crowding are present in more number of patients which was responsible for the development of Acute Sinusitis. Post Covid status and Uncontrolled Diabetes was the commonest Predisposing factor the development of Mucormycosis. Middle Turbinate was involved more in numbers followed by Inferior Turbinate and Septum. Routine Examination followed by Nasal Septal Correction plays a major preventive role in development of sinusitis and further dreaded complications like Mucormycosis. Adequate Glycemic Control and Inj Amphotericin plays important role in the management of Mycormycosis. Regular Follow up with Endo Cleaning is reduces the chances of Recurrence.

Abstract Background The inferior nasal turbinates have important role in the maintenance of nasal breathing function by providing the nasal valve mechanism necessary for the regulation of air flow through the nose. Hypertrophied inferior nasal turbinates are the second most common cause of chronic nasal obstruction. Our aim of this study is to evaluate the morphological and histopathological features of hypertrophied inferior nasal turbinate in Egyptian patients. Methods Our descriptive comparative study was carried on 30 patients presented with hypertrophied inferior nasal turbinate by clinical and radiological assessment. Patients are divided into two groups according to CT scan and endoscopic examination as group A for patients with deviated nasal septum with compensatory hypertrophied inferior nasal turbinate and group B for patients with hypertrophied inferior nasal turbinate due to allergic rhinosinusitis. Both groups underwent the same operation which partial controlled posterior inferior turbinectomy. During the period from June 2018 till May 2019, patients were selected from out-patient’s clinic of Otorhinolaryngology Department at Menoufia University Hospital and Shebin El-Kom Teaching Hospital, and Military Hospital. Results By histopathological examination of the specimens, we found out that the bony layer thickness was more prominent in group A and the mucosal layer thickness was more prominent in group B. The prominent inflammatory cells were lymphocytes in group A and eosinophils plus mast cells in group B. Conclusion The bony layer thickness should be excised during the surgical treatment of cases presented with deviated nasal septum with hypertrophied inferior turbinate where in cases of allergic rhinitis with hypertrophied inferior turbinate, the mucosal layer is enough to be excised.

Objective: To determine the effects of nasoalveolar molding (NAM) on nasal airway architecture. Design: Retrospective case-control study of patients with unilateral cleft lip treated with NAM vs without NAM. Setting: Tertiary referral center specializing in cleft and craniofacial care. Patients, Participants, and Interventions: Thirty-six patients with complete unilateral cleft lip and alveolus: 19 with NAM therapy and 17 without NAM therapy. Main Outcome Measures: Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) scans were compared in multiple coronal sections and were evaluated for linear and angular septal deviation, inferior turbinate hypertrophy, and linear and 2-dimensional airway area. Results: There were no significant differences in linear or angular septal deviation, inferior turbinate area, linear stenosis, or airway area between NAM- and non-NAM-treated patients. Conclusions: NAM effectively molds the external nasal cartilage and structures but may have limited effects on internal nasal structures.

Background: Knowledge of airflow in animal noses is sparse. Such knowledge could be important for selection of animal models used in environmental studies. From the phylogenetic and ontogenetic point of view, a comparison between the animal and human nose is interesting. Method: Nose models of 5 even-toed ungulate species (he-goat, sheep, cow, roebuck, wild boar) and two humans (new born infant and adult) were examined. Anatomical and physiological features of the nasal cavities of all species were compared. All models were rinsed with water and the flow was visualized for observation. Geometric and rhinoresistometric measurements were then performed. Results and conclusions: Even-toed ungulates have two turbinates directly in the main part of the nasal airflow (respiratory turbinates) and a different number of turbinates in a so-called dead space of the nasal airflow above the nasopharyngeal duct (ethmoidal turbinates). The latter correspond with the upper and middle turbinate in analogy to the human nose. Respiratory turbinates of even-toed ungulates insert immediately behind the external nasal ostium. Thus, the whole nasal cavity acts as a functional area with the exception of a small area acting as dead space only detectable in ruminants, possibly indicating a small evolutionary progress from suinae to bovidae. The shape of the animal nasal cavity is stretched and flat. The airflow runs nearly completely turbulent through the nose. The nasal cavity in the adult human is relatively short and high. The area between the external nasal ostium and the head of the inferior turbinate is called inflow area. It distributes the airflow over the whole nasal cross section and generates a turbulent flow. So the airflow is prepared to contact the mucosa in the functional area (turbinate area). The morphology of the inflow area is approximately formed by the shape of the external nose. The nasal cavity of a newborn child is also stretched and flat and more similar to the nasal shape of the investigated animals. The inflow area in the newborn nose is not yet developed and corresponds with the growing external newborn nose. One can hypothesize that the inflow area in human noses is a morphological adaptation in the changed length-height-ratio of the nasal cavity.
