Abstract
Aim: To study the effect of type and site of DNS on osteomeatal complex and sinus diseases.
Materials and Methods: 100 patients including Male and Female above 18years attending ENT OPD, at Index Medical College and having both nasal symptoms and asymptomatic (with ear and throat complains without nasal symptoms) will be evaluated. These patients will undergo ENT examination, and DNS would be seen by anterior rhinoscopy. DNS would be confirmed by Diagnostic nasal endoscopy. Further the patients were advised CT PNS to delineate the extent of sinus disease, define any anatomical variants and relationship of sinuses with the surrounding important structures.
Results: The results of the present study showed that the endoscopy was 73.9% sensitive and 81.5 % specific in identifying the right DNS while was 89.1% sensitive and 72.2% in identifying the left DNS.
Conclusion: Nasal endoscopy and CT yield complementary information regarding diseases of the paranasal sinuses.
