Özet
Nasal septal body is a thickened mucosal area of nasal septum with an unknown certain role. In this study, the authors aimed to investigate the association between the area, length, and width of the nasal septal body with inferior turbinate hypertrophy (ITH) and allergic rhinitis (AR). A total of 106 patients with ITH (54 with AR and 52 without AR), and 49 patients without ITH and AR (control group) were included in this study. Using axial and coronal paranasal computed tomography scans, the area, length, and width of nasal septal body were measured, and the mean values between the groups were compared. Mean area, length, and width of nasal septal body significantly differed among 3 groups (P?<?0.001). Septal body area was significantly greater in ITH with AR group, compared to ITH without AR group (P?<?0.001) and the control group (P?<?0.001). Also, it was significantly greater in ITH without AR group compared to the control group (P?<?0.001). Septal body width was significantly greater in ITH with AR group, compared to ITH without AR group (P?<?0.001) and the control group (P?<?0.001). Also, it was significantly greater in ITH without AR group compared to the control group (P?<?0.001). Patients with ITH had a greater nasal septal body area, length, and width, compared to the patients without. Moreover, AR had an additional increasing effect on the area and width of the nasal septal body.
