TABLE IX-11 Evidence for anatomic variations as contributing factors for CRSsNP Study Year LOE Study Design Study Groups Clinical Endpoint Conclusions DeConde 796 2015 3 Prospective cohort 63 CRS patients undergoing frontal sinus surgery Frontal recess anatomic variants, preoperative to postoperative SNOT-22 score change. Anatomic measurements and variations did not correlate with changes in SNOT-22 scores. Sedaghat 785 2013 3 Cohort study 59 patients treated over 7 years for AR Presence of anatomic variants and progression toCRS Faster progression to CRS in AR patients with at least 1 anatomic variant. Qualliotine 789 2020 4 Retrospective case-control 87 patients with concha bullosa; 50 without, all undergoing ESS Preopertive QoL scores and post operative improvement Worse QoL in extra-nasal rhinologic scores in concha patients; more post operative improvement in concha patients. Kalaiarasi 793 2018 4 Retrospective case series 202 patients undergoing CT scans for sinonasal symptoms Presence of concha bullosae and relationship with RS Concha bullosae are not associated with CRS except in the case of extensive conchae. Senturk 787 2017 4 Retrospective case series Sinus CTs of 618 patients, 326 with Onodi cells Presence of Onodi cells and presence of sinus inflammation Increased risk of radiographic sphenoid sinusitis with Onodi cell. Khojastepour 333 2017 4 Retrospective case series Sinus cone beam CTs of 120 patients considering rhinoplasty Presence and volume of Haller cells as well as uncinate variants Haller cells associated with mucosal thickening in the maxillary sinuses. Wu 788 2017 4 Retrospective case-control 86 patients undergoing limited ESS or ESS for CRSsNP or CRSwNP Reduction in symptoms and number of follow up visits needed Anterior ESS and ESS for CRSsNP was associated with more anatomic variants than CRSwNP. Balikci 792 2016 4 Retrospective case series 296 patients undergoing sinus CT Presence of concha bullosa, NSD, associated RS Concha bullosa and NSD are common and not associated with CRS.
