Abstract

This is a prospective cross sectional study comprising of 85 patients who were having symptoms of sinusitis for more than 12 weeks which were evaluated with the help of nasal endoscopy and computed tomography scan to screen the patients of chronic-rhinosinusitis for various anatomical variants and to find their percentage. The most common variant found to be deviated nasal septum being 88.2 % followed by concha bullosa being 76.4 %, paradoxical middle turbinate 9 %, agger nasi in 7 %.
