Abstract

The anatomy of nose and paranasal sinuses is highly complicated and is most often characterised by considerable anatomical variations. These variations have often been linked to the aetiopathogenesis of inflammatory sinonasal pathology. Also apart from diagnostic value, these variations also predispose the surrounding critical structures to iatrogenic trauma during functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS). Some of these variations also have a role in recurrence of disease. Computed tomography (CT) is the mainstay of diagnosis and surgical planning for sinonasal diseases, and a structured checklist to assess possible anatomic variants helps to reduce the risk of surgical complications. Hence, we developed a checklist at our centre with the mnemonic "SNOT RACE".

“SNOT赛跑”:Dhulikhel医院鼻、鼻窦计算机断层扫描分析方案。
鼻和副鼻窦的解剖结构非常复杂,通常以相当大的解剖变异为特征。这些变异通常与炎症性鼻窦病理的发病机制有关。此外,除了诊断价值外,这些变异也使周围关键结构在功能性内窥镜鼻窦手术(FESS)中易发生医源性创伤。其中一些变异也在疾病复发中起作用。计算机断层扫描(CT)是鼻窦疾病诊断和手术计划的主要手段,一个结构化的检查表来评估可能的解剖变异有助于减少手术并发症的风险。因此,我们在我们的中心开发了一个带有助记符“SNOT RACE”的清单。
