Abstract AR
من المعروف أن نسب اعوجاج الحاجز الأنفي هي الأعلى لدى الأجناس القوقازية عنها لدى الأفريقيين و الآسيويين.
و يهدف هذا البحث إلى دراسة تشوهات الحاجز الأنفي لدى السعوديين و علاقتها بصعوبة التنفس و الإصابات.
و تم الكشف على 589 مريض و وجد أن اعوجاج الحاجز الأنفي أكثر لدى الرجال عنه لدى النساء و الجهة اليسرى أكثر من الجهة اليمنى.
و شكي 194 من صعوبة التنفس و ذلك في النوعين رقم 21.
كما كانت الإصابات هي من أسباب الاعوجاج في 114 من الحالات.
إن اعوجاج الحاجز الأنفي كثير الحدوث و لكن بدون أعراض في الغالبية العظمى.
و تأتي حوادث الطرق في مقدمة الأسباب.
كما أن أنواع الاعوجاج متعددة و يحتاج كل واحد منها لطريقة خاصة بها لعلاجها.
Abstract EN
To examine the types of nasal septal deviations among Saudi patients and their relation to trauma and breathing impairment.
Patients attending the Otorhinolaryngology clinic were included in this study.
Age, sex, history of trauma, and nasal obstruction were entered.
Full nasal examination including rigid endoscopy was performed.
The presence of deviations were recorded and classified.
Five hundred eighty-nine patients were included.
The nasal septal deviation was noted more in males than females with left side being predominant.
One hundred ninety-four patients had nasal obstruction mainly associated with Type I and II.
Trauma was recorded in 114 patients.
Most nasal septal deviations are asymptomatic and the most common cause in this series was road traffic accidents.
Each type of deviation will require special consideration when correction is indicated.
