Nose And Paranasal Sinuses

Introduction: Computed tomogram (CT) of nose and paranasal sinuses provides the detailed knowledge of depth of olfactory fossa as per Keros' classification, which is important in endoscopic sinus surgery. Objective: To analyze the types and frequency of depth of olfactory fossa in Nepalese population. Methodology: This was a longitudinal study conducted from 1 May to 30 August 2018. Coronal CT scans of nose and paranasal sinuses were taken for analysis of olfactory fossa depth. The landmarks like infraorbital foramen, point of articulation of medial ethmoidal roof with lateral lamella of cribriform plate (MERP) and lowest point on the cribriform plate (CP) were taken. The lateral lamella of cribriform plate (LLCP) was calculated by subtracting CP height from MERP height (MERP-CP = LLCP). Results: There were total 101 patients included. The distribution of age was 33.72 ± 15.15 years. The keros' type I was the most common (86.1%). Regarding the olfactory fossa depth, right side was deeper in male whereas in females, the left side was deeper, but overall right side was deeper in 52(51.5%) patients. Conclusions: Type I Keros' was the most common whereas type III Keros' was the least common. A deep olfactory fossa is more common on right.

BACKGROUND: The purpose of our study was to assess the prevalence of different patterns of pneumatization in the sphenoid sinuses as detected on the computed tomography (CT) images of paranasal sinuses of the patients presenting with various pathologies. This is a retrospective radiological study of CT im MATERIALS AND METHODS: ages of paranasal sinuses, done at Radio diagnosis department of a Tertiary care hospital. The study comprised CT images of 500 patients in the age range of 18-75years who were referred for CT scan of paranasal sinuses for various pathologies between the period of July 2018 and July 2019. All images of paranasal sinuses had been acquired following a standardized protocol in axial plane. Their reconstructed images in axial, coronal and sagittal planes were evaluated, using Osirix software, for the extent and different patterns of sphenoid sinus pneumatization. The Images of sphenoid sinuses were assessed for the posterior, lateral and anterior extension of their pneumatization The sphenoid sinuses pneumatization patterns in the RESULTS: descending order of prevalence were complete sellar (75.0%), incomplete sellar (22.6%), presellar (2.4%) and conchal (0%). The clival extensions was seen in 75% of patients and lateral extension sides in 49.1% patients. Lateral recesses as assessed on coronal images was seen in 49.1 % of cases with the prevalence in descending order being extension into pterygoid process 59.8 %, greater wing of sphenoid 9.2 %, full lateral 41% and lesser wing (anterior clinoid process) 19.3%. The pure forms were relatively less common and combined forms being more common. A preoperative review of the sphenoid anatomy should allow for safer endo

Background: the present study was under taken to determine the role of CA-125 in the diagnosis of acute appendicitis (AA), to prevent its complications and also in preventing negative appendicectomies in tertiary care hospital. Methods: The study was conducted at a tertiary care and research center between 01/03/2018 to 30/06/2019. Patients admitted to the surgery department with diagnosis of AA were considered for the study. After informed consent, a, standardized history was obtained as a case Performa. Serum samples from all the cases with clinical diagnosis of AA were obtained and stored. Only the cases with histopathologically approved AA were included in the study. Cases operated for clinical diagnosis of AA, but not histopathologically proven AA was not included in the study. CA125 levels in cases with definitive diagnosis of AA were measured. Results: In present study, ROC curve analysis revealed the sensitivity of 87.27 % and specificity of 90.91 % when the CA 125 cut-off value of > 16.8 was taken to diagnose acute appendicitis. AUC was 0.911 with a standard error of 0.0292. Conclusion: In this study we have observed that CA125 showed a positive correlation with acute appendicitis, that was statistically not significant (P>0.05). We didn’t evaluate the correlation with the disease severity. We consider that CA125 can be used as a marker in acute appendicitis cases although further research is still needed.
