<p class="abstract"><strong>Background:</strong> Deviated nasal septum (DNS) is one of the most frequent causes of nasal obstruction in adults. An anterior rhinoscopy (AR), which is usually the first diagnostic procedure in the evaluation of obstructive nasal pathologies, is often inadequate in the assessment of the posterior nasal cavity and the gold standard method for the evaluation of paranasal anatomy and inflammatory paranasal sinus pathologies is paranasal sinus computed tomography (PNS CT). Aim was to validate the recommendation of pre-operative computed tomography scan in minimizing post-septoplasty complications.</p><p class="abstract"><strong>Methods:</strong> A retrospective record based study was conducted including all patients with clinically diagnosed DNS and undergone surgical intervention at Khamis Mushayet General Hospital. Data extracted included patients demographic data, and post-operative recorded complications and history of preoperative CT scan for evaluating and grading DNS.  </p><p class="abstract"><strong>Results:</strong> A total sample of 60 patients’ undergone septoplasty for DNS. Patients who undergone preoperative CT were 30. The remaining 30 patients didn’t undergone pre-operative CT for evaluation of DNS. The most diagnosed complication was nasal obstruction (28.3%) followed by external nose deformity (20%). Exact of 47% of patients had postoperative nasal obstruction didn’t undergone pre-operative CT. About 42% of those who had postoperative nasal deformity didn’t undergone CT while 33% of patient who had post-operative bleeding and septal perforation didn’t undergone CT.</p><p class="abstract"><strong>Conclusions:</strong> In conclusion, the study revealed that preoperative CT showed insignificant efficacy in relieving nasal obstruction or minimizing postoperative complications.</p>

ABSTRACT Background Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) refers to a group of disorders characterized by inflammation of the mucosa of the paranasal sinuses. Nasal endoscopy and computed tomography (CT) scans are successfully used as diagnostic modalities of nose and paranasal sinus diseases. There have been many studies regarding the anatomic variations leading to pathogenesis of paranasal sinus diseases. Considerable progress has been made in the medical and surgical control of these conditions; however, a large number of questions relating to the diagnosis, evaluation, and treatment of the diseases remain unanswered. Materials and methods The study included 82 clinically diagnosed cases of CRS who underwent CT scan and were advised to undergo diagnostic endoscopy. The anatomical findings of the nose were compared to see correlation between nasal endoscopy and CT scan. Results The mean age (±standard error of the mean) of presentation was 34.11 (±1.42) years, while most patients were from the age group of 18 to 30 years. Males were predominating the study group with 62.2%, while 37.8% were females. The most common anatomic variation was deviated nasal septum with 92.68% CT reported patients. This was followed by inferior turbinate hypertrophy, septal spur, concha bullosa, and agger nasi cells. Conclusion Computed tomography scan is considered the gold standard for sinonasal imaging. Diagnostic endoscopy and CT scan are a must prior to any functional endoscopic sinus surgery. They help in assessing the extent of sinus disease and to know the variations and vital relations of the paranasal sinuses. Computed tomography scan assists the surgeon as a “road map” during endoscopic sinus surgery. How to cite this article Chakraborty P, Jain RK, Joshi P, Kumari R, Pradhan S.

Paratracheal Air Cyst

A tracheal diverticulum is a type of paratracheal air cyst and is usually an incidental finding after a computed tomography scan of the neck and thorax. With an incidence between 1% and 4% in adults, tracheal diverticula are rare entities that can be symptomatic in certain cases. We present a case of a COVID-19 positive patient who presented to our hospital and was diagnosed with multiple tracheal diverticula during his hospitalization.
