Abstract

OBJECTIVE: To compare measurements of the nasal valve on computed tomographic images obtained in the traditional coronal imaging plane with those obtained using the Nasal Base View (NBV) for evaluation of the sinonasal cavities. METHODS: Thirty computed tomograms of the sinuses were evaluated retrospectively. Coronal re-formations were performed in a plane perpendicular to the hard palate at the most anterior aspect of the nasal bones at the nasal dorsum. Re-formations of the NBVwere performed in a plane perpendicular to the anterior aspect of the estimated acoustic axis. Measurements of the nasal valve angle were performed for both imaging planes in each patient. RESULTS: Nasal valve angles measured in the traditional, coronal plane were found to have an angle of 8.3 degrees +/- 2.0 degrees (mean +/- SD). Nasal valve angles measured in the NBV had an angle of 11.4 degrees +/- 2.6 degrees. A significant difference was demonstrated (P<.001). CONCLUSIONS: The traditional coronal computed tomograms of the sinonasal cavities may underestimate the true nasal valve angle. The NBV may provide a more accurate assessment of the nasal valve, as the measured angles of the nasal valve in this plane were found to be more consistent with classic descriptions of 10 degrees to 15 degrees.

  • Spreader grafts widen the nasal valve angle with variable degrees of success.

    “Spreader grafts play a role in the treatment of nasal valve collapse by widening the nasal valve angle and maintaining the widened angle with variable degrees of success [5, 7, 11, 14].”

    From The value of spreader grafts in rhinoplasty: a critical review (2012) · cites this paper as [11]

  • Endonasal subperichondral placement of spreader grafts has advantage of not disrupting integrity of middle third of nose and preserving smoothness of nasal dorsum.

    “Leaving the connection intact was explained to have the advantage of not disrupting the integrity of the middle third of the nose and preserving the smoothness of the nasal dorsum.”

  • Spreader grafts are limited in their ability to adequately support and lateralize the lateral nasal wall, reducing functional outcome.

    “The spreader graft is limited in its ability to adequately support and lateralize the lateral nasal wall hence reducing its functional outcome [8, 11, 30, 31].”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
