Brief summary
A retrospective study was conducted on 343 patients. CT PNS and head of the patients were evaluated for variants of nasal septum and nasal cavity.
Detailed description
A retrospective study was conducted on 343 patients aged 13 years and above. Two investigators, each with 3 to 4 years of experience in the field of radiology, evaluated computed tomography scans of the paranasal sinuses and the head of these patients.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Prevalence of variants of Nasal septum | 6 months | Prevalence of deviated nasal septum will be calculated. Among those with nasal septum deviation, frequency of deviation to right, left and S shaped nasal septum will be evaluated. Nasal septal deviation angle will be measured and grading will be done. |
| Prevalence of variants of nasal cavity | 6 months | Prevalence of variants of nasal cavities like hypertrophied turbinate, paradoxical turbinate, concha bullosa, lamellar concha will be obtained. |
