ABSTRACT

Figure 2.1 A mild superior right septal deviation (short arrow) not obstructing the access to a paradoxical middle turbinate (long arrow)

Figure 2.2 A mild left superior septal deviation, a non-significant and common observation

-cartilaginous sharp spur (short arrow) touching the inferior turbinate (long arrow). The arrowhead points to the middle turbinate

Figure 2.4 A groove (short arrow) on the right side, between the septal cartilage (arrowhead) and the vomer (long arrow) of the same subject shown in Figure 2.3

Figure 2.6 A mucosal groove seen on the left posterior part of the septum

Figure 2.7 A longer groove seen on the right side of the septum (short arrows). The mucosal swelling seen above it (long arrow) resembles a turbinate. The arrowhead points to the middle turbinate

the vomer

Figure 2.10 The CT scan of the subject in Figure 2.9 showing the mucosal swellings on both sides

Figure 2.11 A right secondary septal turbinate that developed a couple of months after a middle turbinectomy

Figure 2.12 A patient who had had bilateral inferior turbinectomies years before (arrows). Note the absence of any septal turbinate

Figure 2.13 A mild right septal deviation in a normal subject (short arrow). Note the circular candy (long arrow) that the patient kept in her mouth while being scanned!
