Abstract

Purpose of this study is to investigate nasal lesions, nasal effects and tomographic findings of leprae.Material and Methods: The study included twenty basil negative leprae patients who were under treatment. Medical history regarding nasal findings, physical examination and paranasal tomography findings were noted.Results: Sixty five (n:13) percent of 20 patients had lepramatous leprae. Thirty (n=6) percent was borderline lepramatous leprae and 5 % (n=1) was tuberculoid leprae. Sixty five percent of all cases (n:13), seventy seven percent (n=10) of lepramatous leprae and fifty percent (n:3) of borderline lepramatous leprae presented with nasal complaints. The most frequent complaint and finding was nasal crusting. Percentage of nasal septal perforation was 35 % (n=7) and saddle nose deformity was found in 10 % (n=2) of patients. Most frequent tomographic finding was mucosal hypertrophy and the ethmoid sinuses were the most affected site.Conclusion: Results of this study are correlated with the literature. Leprae patients should have nasal examination even if they had no symptoms. Patients with the history of contact or from endemic regions having nasal crusting, ulceration and other nasal lesion should remind us the diagnosis of leprae. It's important not to forget that early diagnosis and multidisciplinary treatment may prevent the nasal deformities

Özet

Çalışmanın amacı, lepralı olgularda oluşan nazal lezyonları, lepranın nazal etkilerini ve tomografik bulgularını tespit etmektir.Gereç ve Yöntem: Tedavi altındaki yirmi basil negatif lepra tanılı olgu değerlendirildi. Olguların nazal bulgular açısından anamnezleri alındı, nazal muayeneleri yapıldı ve paranazal sinüs tomografileri değerlendirildi.Bulgular: Yirmi lepra tanılı olgunun % 65'i (n=13) lepramatöz lepra, % 30'u (n=6) borderline lepramatöz lepra, % 5'i (n=1) tüberlükoid lepra idi. Tüm olguların % 65'inde (n:13), lepramatöz lepra olguların % 77'sinde (n:10), borderline lepramatöz lepra tanılı olguların ise % 50'sinde (n:3) nazal yakınma tanımlandı. En sık tanımlanan yakınma kabuklanma (% 50), en sık nazal bulgu ise kurutlanma (% 65) idi. Septal perforasyon oranı % 35 (n=7), saddle-nose oranı % 10 ise (n=2) olarak saptanmıştır. En sık tomografik bulgu 15 olgu (% 75) ile mukozal kalınlaşma olup, 13 olgu (% 65) ile en sık etmoid sinüs etkilenmişti.Sonuç: Bulgular literatürdeki çalışma sonuçları ile benzer özellikler gösterdi. Lepra olguları nazal yakınma tariflemeseler dahi nazal muayene ile değerlendirilmelidirler. Temas öyküsü olan veya endemik yerlerde bulunan olgularda fizik muayenede kurutlanma, ülserasyon, nazal lezyon saptananlarda lepra ön tanısı akla getirilmeli, erken tanı ve multidisipliner tedavinin nazal defortmitelerin oluşumunu engelleyebileceği unutulmamalıdır
