Objective To investigate the features of compensatory hypertrophy of inferior turbinate mucosa in different course of deviated nasal septum. Methods The preoperative sinuses computed tomography (CT) images of 65 patients with deviated nasal septum in our hospital were retrospectively analyzed. Patients were divided into three groups according to the course of disease: group A for 1~5 years, group B for 6~10 years, and group C for more than 10 years. Thickness and density of the lateral mucosa of the inferior turbinate were measured and compared among all groups. Results The thickness of lateral mucosa of the inferior turbinate was (4.2±0.8) mm, (5.2±0.7) mm and (4.7±1.3) mm, respectively in the three groups. Thickness of lateral mucosa of inferior turbinate in group B was thicker than that of group A and group C, and there was statistical difference (P<0.05). The mucosal density of the medial side of the inferior turbinate in patients with course of disease from 1~5 years, 6~10 years and more than 10 years gradually increased, and was (38.6±7.1) HU, (49.7±4.5) HU, 56.7 (41.6, 59.3) HU, and with statistical difference respectively(P<0.05). Conclusions There are morphological differences in the compensatory hypertrophy of inferior turbinate mucosa in patients with different course of disease, which may reflect the pathological characteristics of inferior turbinate mucosa hypertrophy.
