Computed Tomography Description of the Uncinate Process Angulation in Patients With Cystic Fibrosis and Comparison With Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia, Nasal Polyposis, and Controls

Résumé

Background: There is a medial bulging of the lateral nasal wall in patients with cystic fibrosis (CF). Aims: Uncinate process (UP) angulation measurements in patients and controls to objectify this bulging. Materials and Methods: Thirty CF, 17 primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD), 13 chronic rhinosinusitis with polyps (CRSwp), and 30 controls were included. Angles were measured bilaterally on computed tomography (CT) scans: A, B, C on coronal sections, D and E on axial sections. Angle A was between the UP and the orbit inner wall, whereas the others were between UP and midline. Results: There was no significant difference between controls, PCD, and CRSwp. However, CF had 3 statistically different angles with controls, 5 with CRSwp, and 4 with PCD. Angle A average value was 126 (+16) in patients with CF, 138 (+19) in controls (P ¼ .007), 145 (+15) in PCD (P ¼ .001), and 138 (+14) in CRSwp (P ¼ .001). Angle E average value was 35 (+10) in patients with CF, 20 (+6) in controls (P < .001), 21 (+4) in PCD (P < .001), and 22 (+6) in CRSwp (P < .001). Conclusion: Uncinate process's anatomy is only modified in CF: Angle between UP and inner wall of orbit is closed, and angles between UP and midline are opened. Significance: These measures quantify the medial bulging of lateral nasal wall and support nasofibroscopic observations.
