Abstract
Dynamics in the development of otorhinolaryngological pathologies among Sakha Republic’s population has a positive upward trend, and one of the main reasons is the deformity of the nasal septum, which, according to some authors, makes up 56 to 95% of all treatment cases. Congenital deformities or developmental anomalies leading to deviation of the nasal septum in children with untimely diagnosis can lead to chronic inflammatory processes in the mucous membrane of the cavity and paranasal sinuses. This causes a violation of the airway function of the upper respiratory tract and increased probability of infectious diseases. Diagnosis of these conditions in children under 6 years of age will prevent these consequences, as well as reduce the need for surgical treatment of septoplasty. This article discusses a method for describing the developmental patterns of the nasal septum as one of the practical methods for early diagnosis of children. The method uses computed tomography data of children of the indigenous population of the Sakha (Yakutia) Republic. We have analyzed the results of studies of multislice CT of the head in multiplanar mode for children aged 0 to 4 with a total of 48 patients. At the same time, the grouping of research subjects was based on gender (boys, girls) and age (by years). While analyzing the images, we used the linear dimensions of the nasal septum, including the length and height of the septum, as well as its angle of deviation. According to the results of the analysis, we found statistically significant correlations, which made it possible to conclude that there is a linear relationship between age groups and each of the indicators, as well as a decrease in the deviation angle of the nasal septum with age.
