| description | Background The association of the linear dimensions of the inferior turbinate hypertrophy with nasal septal deviation has been studied recently. However, the volumetric dimensions provide a more accurate status of the turbinate hypertrophy compared to linear measurements. The aim of this study was to analyze the association of inferior nasal turbinate volume with the degree of nasal septal deviation (NSD). Methods A retrospective evaluation of the cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) scans of 412 patients was carried out to obtain 150 scans which were included in the study. The scans were categorized into three groups. Group 1 comprised of 50 scans of patients with no inferior turbinate hypertrophy (ITH) and no nasal septal deviation. Group 2 comprised of 50 scans of patients with ITH and no NSD; whereas Group 3 included 50 scans of patients with ITH and NSD. The total turbinate volume of inferior turbinates (bilateral) were determined by using Vesalius 3D software (PS-Medtech, Amsterdam, Netherlands). Results The intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) between the volumetric estimations performed by the two radiologists was 0.82. There were no significant age and gender related changes in the total turbinate volume. Patients in Group 3 had significantly higher (p = 0.001) total turbinate volume compared to Group 2 and Group 1. There was a positive and significant correlation (r = 0.52, p = 0.002) between the degree of septal deviation and total turbinate volume. When the total turbinate volume of the patients with different types of septal deviation was compared in Group 3, a statistically significant difference (p = 0.001) was observed. Regression analysis revealed that the septal deviation angle (SDA) (p = 0.001) had a relationship with total turbinate volume. From the results of the study we can conclude that the total turbinate volume is higher in patients with nasal septal deviation. It can also be concluded that the septal deviation angle has a positive correlation with total turbinate volume. The data obtained from the study can be useful in post-surgical follow up and evaluation of patients with nasal septal deviation and hypertrophied inferior nasal turbinate. |
