Computed tomography description of the uncinate process angulation in patients with cystic fibrosis and comparison with primary ciliary dyskinesia, nasal polyposis, and controls

ENT Journal Mar 25, 2019

Hervochon R, et al. - In this study, researchers analyzed 30 cystic fibrosis (CF) cases vs 30 controls to examine the outcomes of computed tomography (CT) scans in uncinate process (UP) angulation in subjects with cystic fibrosis (CF) vs primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD), chronic rhinosinusitis with polyps (CRSwp), and controls. No significant difference between controls, PCD, and CRSwp was reported. Although, CF had 3 statistically diverse angles with controls, 5 with CRSwp, and 4 with PCD. They noticed angle A average value of 126° (±16°) in subjects with CF, 138° (±19°) in controls, 145° (±15°) in PCD, whereas 138° (±14°) in CRSwp. They also recorded angle E average value of 35° (±10°) in CF cases, 20° (±6°) in controls, 21° (±4°) in PCD, and 22° (±6°) in CRSwp. They concluded that angle between UP and the inner wall of the orbit was closed whereas angles between UP and midline were opened.
