📌 3 Key Takeaways
Abstract
The uncinate process is the most important landmark of the lateral nasal wall in functional endoscopic sinus surgery. The first step of the surgical procedure is to remove the uncinate process in order to expose the natural ostium. Then the natural ostium is widened, and the nasal fontanelle is opened. An abnormal-sized and over-pneumatized uncinate process can disrupt the natural drainage of the paranasal sinuses. In this report, we present a case of bilateral extensive pneumatized, medialized and infected uncinate processes which presented as chronic sinusitis
Özet
Unsinat proses fonksiyonel endoskopik sinüs cerrahisinde en önemli lateral nazal duvar belirleyicisidir. Cerrahi işlemin ilk adımı, doğal ostiumun ortaya konması için unsinat prosesin çıkarılmasıdır. Bunu takiben doğal ostium genişletilir ve nazal fontanel açılır. Anormal büyüklükteki ve aşırı pnömatize unsinat proses paranazal sinüslerin doğal drenajını bozabilir. Bu yazıda kronik sinüzitle ortaya çıkan bilateral ekstensiv pnömatize, medialize ve enfekte unsinat prosesli bir olgu sunuldu
