ABSTRACT
The electron microscopic structure of cilia from the inferior turbinate of the nose was studied in twenty four adults. Ten patients with chronic sinusitis, eight patients had deviated nasal septum, two patients with allergic rhinitis and the changes were compared with those found in four healthy persons as a control group. There were variations in the microtubular pattern, dynein arms were not seen and compound cilia were observed in the cases of chronic sinusitis, deviated nasal septum and in allergic rhinitis
