Background: Evaluation of a patient with chronic rhinosinusitis also requires proper radiological examination apart from otolaryngological examination and diagnostic nasal endoscopy. Various anatomical variations can be seen on CT Scan of nose and paranasal sinuses. Methods: This was a prospective cross sectional study carried out in department of ENT at Government Medical College &Dr. Susheela...

Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) remains a prevalent disease and a major cause of morbidity for many patients and functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) is the gold standard for the treatment of CRS. Many factors contribute to the development of CRS, among others nasal anatomic variation. The authors aim to study the association of concha bullosa and deviated nasal septum with CRS patients requ...

To compare the chemical differences between the medicinal and cultured oyster shells, their chemical profiles were investigated. Using the ultra performance liquid chromatography-electron spraying ionization-mass spectrometry (UPLC-ESI-MS), combined with principal component analysis (PCA) and orthogonal projection to latent structures discriminant analysis (OPLS-DA), the discrimination of the c...

Objectives: The narrow band imaging endoscopy (NBI) is an imaging method used by otolaryngologists for the examination of oral cavity, pharynx and larynx. Our present study was designed to determine the effectiveness of NBI in the examination of the inferior turbinate hypertrophy status. Study Design: Individual cohort study. Methods: A hundred and nine patients with enlarged inferior nasal con...

Cemento-ossifying fibromas are a group of rarely occurring benign tumours, developing from the periodontal membrane and varying considerably in appearance and in the progress of the disease. Their common feature is higher or lower production of cemental tissue. In most cases the tumours are small because their cementoma mature quickly and become inactive, which causes the tumour to stop growing...

In this study, 90 patients with idiopathic non-allergic rhinitis were divided into three groups. Silver nitrate was given to Group I, flunisolide to Group II, and placebo to Group III. Healing results according to symptoms, physical findings, nasal smear findings and biopsy findings were compared. Improvement ws noticed in symptoms (rhinorrhea 93%, sneezing 89%, nasal congestion 80%), physical ...

The aim of this study was to (a) detect the prevalence of anatomical variations of nose and paranasal sinuses in Chronic Rhinosinusitis (CRS) on ‘Nasal Endoscopy’,and‘Computed Tomography’, (b) correlate between the two investigation modalities and (c) study association of anatomical variations of nose and paranasal sinuses in Chronic Rhinosinusitis. This Cross sectional study was carried out at...
