Abstract

Objective: To use computed tomography (CT) to determine the relationship between agger nasi (AN) cells and the development of frontal sinusitis.Methods: In total, 996 patients (402 females and 594 males; average age, 37.2±12.8 years; range, 18-75 years) underwent a CT scan due to frontal sinusitis. The presence of AN cells was recorded. Patients were divided two groups according to the presence of the AN cell. The Lund– Mackay score (LMS) of each paranasal sinus shadow was evaluated in all patients. The LMS in the groups were compared. A p-value of <0.05 was considered to reflect statistical significance.Results: In the right side, the average LMS of patients with AN cells was 3.5±2.6 and was 2.3±2.1 for those without AN cells. The LMS of patients with AN cells was significantly better than that for those without AN cells for the right side (p<0.05). In the left side, the average LMS of patients with AN cells was 3.7±2.9 and was 21±2.2 for those without AN cells. The LMS of patients with AN cells was significantly better than that for those without AN cells for the left side (p<0.05).Conclusion: In the present study, the presence of AN cells may be associated with the development of frontal sinusitis. Further studies with a higher number of patients are needed to explore the relationship between the pneumatization of AN cells and the development of frontal sinusitis

Özet

Amaç: Bilgisayarlı tomografi (BT) kullanarak Agger naşi (AN) hücresi ile frontal sinüzit gelişimi arasındaki ilişkiyi belirlemek.Yöntemler: Çalışmaya frontal sinüzit nedeniyle BT çekilen 996 hasta (402 kadın 594 erkek; ortalama yaş 37,2±12,8 yıl, aralık: 18-75 yıl) dahil edildi. AN hücre varlığı kayıt altına alındı. AN hücre varlığına göre hastalar iki gruba ayrıldı. Tüm paranazal sinüs BT'ler Lund-Mackay skorlama (LMS) sistemine göre değerlendirildi. Grupların LMS değerleri karşılaştırıldı. Anlamlılık p<0.05 düzeyinde değerlendirildi.Bulgular: Sağ taraf değerlendirmesinde AN hücresi olan grupta ortalama LMS 3,5±2,6 iken AN olmayan grupta ortalama LMS 2,3±2,1 idi. Sağ tarafta AN olan grupta ortalama LMS skoru AN olmayan gruptan istatistiksel olarak anlamlı (p<0,05) derecede yüksek idi. Sol taraf değerlendirilmesinde AN olan grupta ortalama LMS 3,7±2,9 iken, AN olmayan grupta ortalama LMS 2,1±2,2 idi. Sol tarafta AN olan grupta ortalama LMS değeri AN olmayan gruptan istatistiksel olarak anlamlı (p<0,05) derecede yüksek idi.Sonuç: Bu çalışmada, AN hücresinin frontal sinüzit gelişiminde etkili bir hücre olabileceği gösterildi. Daha büyük hasta sayısıyla yapılacak, AN hücre hacminin frontal sinüzit gelişimi arasındaki ilişkiyi açıklayacak çalışmalara ihtiyaç vardır
