TABLE X-10 Evidence for anatomic variation as contributing factor for CRSwNP Study Year LOE Study Design Study Groups Clinical Endpoint Conclusions 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. Bilge 1458 2016 4 Retrospective case control 155 patients with CRSwNP compared to 100 asymptomatic controls Anatomical variations seen onCTscan Anatomical variants including NSD, concha bullosae, agger nasi, frontal sinus hypoplasia and accessory os more prevalent in CRSwNP group. Jain 338 2013 4 Retrospective case control 22 patients with limited RS, 28 patients with diffuse disease, 27 controls Presence of anatomic variants Frequency of total anatomical variants in the limited group was significantly higher than in the pansinusitis and control groups. Leung 1457 2011 4 Retrospective case control 144 patients with CRSsNP and 123 patients with CRSwNP Association of OMC obstruction with overall LMscore In all patients OMC obstruction correlates with LM score, but only in CRSsNP does OMC obstruction correlate with adjacent sinus involvement.
