Abstract
Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the isolated effect of moderateto- severe, lower, middle, and upper nasal septum deviation (NSD) and NSD angle on maxillary sinus volume (MSV). Methods: The retrospective study included 94 NSD patients (mean age, 27.95 ± 12.01 years). NSD diagnosis and the measurements of NSD angle and MSV were performed using paranasal sinus computed tomography (PNS CT). The NSD angle was divided into 2 groups as moderate (≤9 to .05). Conclusion: We consider that NSD and an angular increase in NSD may play a role in MSV, while NSDs in different locations do not affect MSVs.
