Estudo imaginológico da anatomia da cavidade nasal e dos seios paranasais e suas variações por meio da tomografia computadorizada helicoidal / Imaginologic study of the anatomy and its variations of the nasal cavity and paranasal sinus through helicoidal computed tomography

Tucunduva, Maria José Albuquerque Pereira de Sousa e 22 November 2007 (has links)
Neste trabalho foi proposto um estudo de análise exploratória de exames de tomografia computadorizada helicoidal, o qual abrange os seios paranasais, a cavidade nasal e as possíveis variações anatômicas que podem estar presentes nestas regiões. A pneumatização dessas estruturas tem grande importância cirúrgica, uma vez que pode levar à exposição e ao comprometimento de estruturas vasculonervosas. O complexo ostiomeatal foi observado e a relação entre seus componentes foi descrita. O estudo foi realizado na forma de análise exploratória de uma amostra de conveniência de 109 tomografias computadorizadas helicoidais. Foi feita a descrição estatística dos dados obtidos. Foram encontradas as seguintes variações: desvio de septo à direita (39,4%), desvio de septo à esquerda (16,5%), septo sinuoso (5,5%) e presença de esporão (9,2%), concha média bolhosa, sendo a pneumatização da lamela basal bilateralmente (2,8%), da lamela vertical à esquerda (6,4%), da lamela vertical à direita (3,7%), da lamela vertical bilateralmente (5,5%), pneumatização da concha média na sua totalidade, do lado direito (4,6%), do lado esquerdo (7,3%) e bilateralmente (11%), pneumatização da concha superior, à direita (1,8%) e bilateralmente (5,5%), curvatura paradoxal da concha nasal média à esquerda (6,4%), à direita (1,8%) e bilateralmente (4,6%), curvatura paradoxal da concha superior esquerda (0,9%) e bilateralmente (2,8%), hipoplasia do seio frontal (15,6%) e do seio maxilar (1,8%), pneumatização do processo pterigóide do lado esquerdo (10,1%), do lado direito (0,9%) e bilateralmente (27,5%), a pneumatização do processo clinóide anterior, do lado esquerdo (3,7%) e bilateralmente (9,2%), processo clinóide posterior do lado esquerdo (0,9%) e 1,8% bilateralmente. Também foi observada a pneumatização do septo nasal (14,7%), do palato ósseo (0,9%) e do processo uncinado (6,4%). Foram observadas as células da crista do nariz (12,8%), infra-orbital (11%), supraorbital (0,9%) e esfeno-etmoidal (11,9%). Das variações anatômicas estudadas, o desvio de septo mostrou-se a mais constante, seguido pela pneumatização da concha média, com a qual mostrou correlação. A tomografia computadorizada permite um estudo com acurácia, da cavidade nasal, dos seios paranasais e das variações morfológicas que possam estar presentes. / This study intends to present the exploratory analysis of tomography scans concerning the paranasal sinus, nasal cavity, and the possible anatomic variations that may be observed in these areas. The enlargement of anatomic structures during surgery may expose important elements to loss or injury. The ostiomeatal complex was observed, and the relation between its elements was described. This study of exploratory analysis was carried out in a convenience group, in which a total of 109 tomography scans were evaluated. A statistics description of the findings was made and the following anatomic variations were noted: septal deviation to the right (39,4%), septal deviation to the left (16,5%), S-shaped septal deviation (5,5%), presence of spur or ridge (9,2%), concha bullosa of the middle turbinate, with pneumatization of the basal lamella, bilaterally (2,8%), of the vertical lamella to the left (6,4%), of the vertical lamella to the right (3,7%), of the vertical lamella bilaterally (5,5%), pneumatization of the entire middle turbinate to the right (4,6%), to the left (7,3%), and bilaterally (11%), pneumatization of the superior turbinate to the right (1,8%) and bilaterally (5,5%), paradoxal curve of the middle turbinate to the left (6,4%), to the right (1,8%) and bilaterally (4,6%), paradoxal curve of the superior turbinate to the left (0,9%) and bilaterally (2,8%), hipoplasia of the frontal sinus (15,6%) and hipoplasia of the maxillary sinus (1,8%), pneumatization of the pterygoid process to the left side (10,1%), to the right side (0,9%) and bilaterally (27,5%), pneumatization of the anterior clinoid process to the left (3,7%) and bilaterally (9,2%), pneumatization of the posterior clinoid process to the left (0,9%) and bilaterally (1,8%). The nasal septum pneumatization was also observed (14,7%), to the hard palate (0,9%) and the uncinate process (6,4%). Nasal crest cell was observed (12,8%), infra orbital ethmoid cell (11%), supra-orbital ethmoid cells(0,9%), spheno-ethmoid cells (11,9%). Among the anatomic variations studied, septal deviation was the most constant, followed by pneumatization of the middle turbinate to which it showed correlation. The computerized tomography was considered the most accurate imaging method to study the nasal cavity and the paranasal sinus.

Hearing Preservation CI Surgery and Hybrid Hearing : From Anatomical Aspects to Patient Satisfaction

Erixon, Elsa January 2014 (has links)
A common cause of profound deafness is hair cell dysfunction in the cochlea. Cochlear implants (CI) bypass the hair cells via an electrode and stimulate the cochlear nerve directly. Nowadays, it is possible to preserve residual hair cell function and hearing through flexible electrodes and a-traumatic CI surgery techniques; called hearing preservation CI surgery. This may suit partially deaf patients who can use natural low frequency hearing in combination with electric high frequency hearing; so-called hybrid hearing. The aim of this thesis was to elucidate the effectiveness of hearing preservation CI surgery. The thesis demonstrates human cochlear anatomy in relation to CI and evaluates hearing and patient satisfaction after hearing preservation CI surgery. Analyses of human cochlear moulds belonging to the Uppsala collection showed large variations in dimensions and coiling characteristics of the cochlea. Each cochlea was individually shaped. The size and shape of the cochlea influences the position of the electrode. The diameter of the basal cochlear turn could predict insertion depth of the electrode, which is crucial for hearing preservation. The first 21 patients operated with hearing preservation CI surgery in Uppsala, showed preserved hearing. Nine-teen partially deaf patients receiving implants intended for hybrid hearing, were evaluated concerning pure tone audiometry, monosyllables (MS) and hearing in noise test (HINT). They also responded to a questionnaire, consisting of the IOI-HA, EQ-5D VAS and nine questions about residual hearing. The questionnaire results indicated a high degree of patient satisfaction with improved speech perception in silence and noise. This was also reflected by improved results in MS and HINT. Hearing was preserved in all patients, but there was an on-going deterioration of the residual hearing in the operated ear which surpassed the contralateral ear. There were no correlations between the amount of residual hearing and patient satisfaction or speech perception results. Electric stimulation provides a major contribution to speech comprehension in partially deaf patients. All the patients showed a high degree of satisfaction with their CI, regardless of varying hearing preservation.
