Assessment of the prevalence of Haller cell variation and the relationship of maxillary sinusitis with computed tomography

Objective: In our study, we aimed to evaluate the prevalence of the Haller cell from sinonasal region anatomical variations and maxillary sinusitis with computed tomography (CT) Material and Method: Between January 1, 2017 and May 31, 2018, multislice (Toshiba) 16-slice computed tomography (CT) images of sinus CT images were retrospectively reviewed at ？zzet Baysal State Hospital in Bolu. The frequency of Haller cells was determined. The Mc Gay Lund classification was used to assess mucosal changes in maxillary sinus. Results: None of the 196 patients included in my study had any variation in one patient. The frequency of cell deaths was found to be 15.8%. The incidence of maxillary sinusitis in all patients was 63.7%. There was no statistically significant correlation between the presence of hallucinogen variants and the presence of maxillary sinusitis on the same side of the patients. The incidence of maxillary sinusitis in patients with Haller cell variation was 54.9% in the same group whereas 63.3% in the control group. There was no statistically significant difference between the two groups. Conclusion: The detailed presentation of the anatomy of the paranasal sinuses is important both for diagnosis and treatment
