Clinical Trial Summary

A retrospective study was conducted on 343 patients. CT PNS and head of the patients were evaluated for variants of nasal septum and nasal cavity.

Description:

A retrospective study was conducted on 343 patients aged 13 years and above. Two investigators, each with 3 to 4 years of experience in the field of radiology, evaluated computed tomography scans of the paranasal sinuses and the head of these patients. The nasal septum was evaluated for degree and types of variants. Various variants of nasal cavities and nasal septum were also evaluated.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Prevalence of variants of Nasal septum	Prevalence of deviated nasal septum will be calculated. Among those with nasal septum deviation, frequency of deviation to right, left and S shaped nasal septum will be evaluated. Nasal septal deviation angle will be measured and grading will be done.	6 months
Primary	Prevalence of variants of nasal cavity	Prevalence of variants of nasal cavities like hypertrophied turbinate, paradoxical turbinate, concha bullosa, lamellar concha will be obtained.	6 months
