Surgical treatment of the inferior turbinates is required for hypertrophic inferior turbinates
refractory to medical treatments. The main goal of surgical reduction of the inferior turbinate …

Objectives/Hypothesis To develop a validated inferior turbinate grading scale. Study Design
Development and validation study. Methods Phase 1 development (alpha test) consisted of …

Objectives/Hypothesis To determine the dimensions of the compensatory hypertrophic
inferior turbinate and investigate the radiological changes in the morphology of the conchal …

Objectives The nasal turbinates directly influence the overall size, shape, and surface area
of the nasal passages, and thus contribute to intranasal heat and moisture exchange …

Purpose Patients with unilateral complete cleft lip and palate (UCLP) have a characteristic
bilateral septal deformity, and septal deviation can be associated with turbinate hyperplasia …

Objective: The objective of this work was to determine the incidence and radiologic
appearance of pneumatized inferior turbinates (PITs). Methods: Pneumatized inferior …

Background The association of the linear dimensions of the inferior turbinate hypertrophy
with nasal septal deviation has been studied recently. However, the volumetric dimensions …

Purpose The inferior turbinate flaps (ITFs) include the anterior pedicle inferior turbinate flap
(APITF) and the posterior pedicle inferior turbinate flap (PPITF). The APITF has been used …

Objectives This study aimed to investigate nasal septum deviation (NSD), nasal bone length
(NBL), and the morphology of the middle nasal conchae (MNC) and inferior nasal conchae …

Pneumatized inferior turbinate (PIT) is a very rarely encountered variation. Extensive
turbinate pneumatization may lead to turbinate enlargement and may be responsible for …
