    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: To discuss the relationship between the stenosed spaces of ostiomeatal complex (OMC) and chronic sinusitis, and the relative factors causing the stenosed spaces. METHOD: Having nasal obstructing, discharging, headache and other clinical symptoms, 94 patients (179 sides of nasal cavity and sinus) were examined with coronal and high resolution CT scanning. The CT manifestations of the stenosed spaces and the anatomic variations of OMC were comparatively analyzed between the inflammatory sinuses and the normal ones. RESULT: The incidence of the stenosed spaces was difference between the inflammatory sinuses and the normal ones and there was significant statistically (P < 0.01). But, the incidence of the anatomic variations was not (P > 0.05). CONCLUSION: A significant correlation exists between the stenosed spaces of OMC and chronic sinusitis. It is helpful to the functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) to understand various kinds of the stenosed space of OMC with sinusitis.
