ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the influence of nasal septum deviation on the incidence of bilateral nasal sinusitis.Methods The clinical data of 2 000 patients with nasal septum deviation combined chronic sinusitis were retrospectively analyzed.Results (1)The nasal sinusitis case of narrow side and wide side was 1 691 cases vs 1 572 cases;The RR values of risk was 1.5 vs 0.8,the difference was significant (χ2 =14.963,P0.05);(3) The anatomical variations of the narrow side and wide side were mainly included hook hypertrophy(6.9%vs 26.5%),middle turbinate hypertrophy (7.7% vs 38.6%),screen bubble hypertrophy (26.7%vs 39.9%),abnormal middle turbinate curve (4.8%vs 14.9%),inferior turbinate hypertrophy (50.6%vs 62.6%),high septum mucosa hypertrophy (0.5%vs 2.5%).Conclusion Patients with nasal septum deviation the narrow lateral nasal sinusitis incidence was higher than wide side;the compensatory make a high incidence of nasal sinusitis of wide lateral;the inferior turbinate hypertrophy closely related to the sinusitis;the effect of simple nasal sep-tum corrective surgery is not ideal .
