Volume : III, Issue : IV, May - 2013 RELATION OF DEVIATED NASAL SEPTUM WITH CHRONIC MAXILLARY SINUSITIS ANUJ JAIN Published By : Laxmi Book Publication Abstract : introduction: A deviated nasal septum can produce nasal obstruction and may block the
sinus drainage “ door-ways”, triggering recurrent or chronic infection. The present
study is based upon to find the relation of nasal septal deviation with chronic maxillary
sinusitis.
Materials and Methods: Two groups were made, one control group with midline nasal
septum and other group with septal deviation to either right or left side and maxillary
sinusitis were studied. Signs of chronic maxillary sinusitis such as mucosal thickening
and air fluid level, were read using plane x-ray .
Results: Findings suggested that there is a co-relation between the deviated nasal
septum with chronic inflammation of maxillary sinus.
Conclusion: Of all paranasal sinuses, Maxillary sinuses are most constant in shape and
size, and also most commonly involved in chronic sinusitis. Deviated nasal septum was
found to be the primary cause of chronic sinus disease in our study. Therefore, to treat
sinusitis, septal deviation should be corrected. Keywords : Article : Cite This Article : ANUJ JAIN, (2013). RELATION OF DEVIATED NASAL SEPTUM WITH CHRONIC MAXILLARY SINUSITIS.
