The study of Osteomeatal complex and its anatomical variations in Government Medical College and superfacility Hospital of Azamgarh
Page: 266-269
The present study was a hospital based study carried out in 50 patients in department of anatomy, otolaryngology and radiology of the government medical college and superfacility hospital Azamgarh U.P. The aim of this study to study the role of anatomical variations of osteomeatal complex in rhinosinusitis. Lateral nasal wall of each nasal cavity provides the final common pathway of drainage of mucociliary clearence of frontal, maxillary and anterior ethmoid air cells. Anatomical variants like concha bullosa, haller cells, aggernasi cells, enlarged bulla ethmoidalis may obstruct the drainage pathway and cause rhinosinusitis. In our study computed tomography(CT) was done for assessment of paranasal sinuses, nasal fossae and their anatomical variants. Computed tomography offer detailed study of anatomical variation and it is invaluable tool for managing clinical decision and planning surgical strategies. It has become imperative for radiologist and clinicians to improve understanding of osteomeatal complex.
