About this study

The goal of this observational study is to learn about anatomical and pathological variants in patients with antrochoanal polyps trying to find a key to its pathogenesis Participants will have nasal endoscopic examination and CT nose and paranasal sinuses.

we will compare patients with antrochoanal polyps and other patients with unilateral sinonasal disease regarding anatomical and pathological variants.

Read the detailed description

This study was conducted at Otolaryngology department, Minia University Hospital, Minia, Egypt. The study was approved by the Institutional Review Board at Minia University.

The study participants were recruited from patients complaining from unilateral sinonasal disease attending outpatient clinic.

we selected 40 patients with ACPs who had the following inclusion criteria: 1-radiologically diagnosed based on CT nose and PNS. 2-histopathologically diagnosed as ACP. The radiological diagnosis is based on seeing low attenuated soft tissue mass filling the maxillary antrum and extending through the middle meatus into the nasal cavity and directs towards the post nasal opening. We excluded: 1- patients with history of maxillofacial trauma. 2- patients who had previous nasal surgery.

To be more objective, a control group of 40 patients who had unilateral sinonasal disease other than ACP was formed.

We assessed multislice computed tomography (CT) nose and paranasal sinus images by Toshiba aquilion CT scanner. Axial and coronal 250mm cuts were obtained.

Both study and control groups were compared regarding anatomical and pathological variations in the nose. These variants include: deviated nasal septum, concha bullosa, paradoxical middle turbinate and uncinate process insertion (to lamina papyrecea or roof of ethmoid or middle turbinate). We also compare between them according to presence of retention cyst in CT in contralateral side In the cases with deviated nasal septum, the septal deviation was seen if it is towards the side of the lesion or towards the opposite side according to its convexity.

We also evaluate the sclerosis on thickening of the bony wall of the para nasal sinus as an indication of chronic inflammation.

SPSS 24.0 program was used for statistical analysis. Averages and standard deviations were calculated. The Mann-Whitney and Chi square tests were used for comparisons between the groups. The Pearson correlation tests was used to evaluate correlations. Statistical significance was set at ≤ 0.05.

Being tested

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. presence of anatomical and pathological variants in CT scan and endoscopic examination

    Both study and control groups were compared regarding anatomical and pathological variations in the nose. These variants include: deviated nasal septum, concha bullosa, paradoxical middle turbinate and uncinate process insertion (to lamina papyrecea or roof of ethmoid or middle turbinate). We also compare between them according to presence of retention cyst in CT in contralateral side In the cases with deviated nasal septum, the septal deviation was seen if it is towards the side of the lesion or towards the opposite side according to its convexity.

    We also evaluate the sclerosis on thickening of the bony wall of the para nasal sinus as an indication of chronic inflammation.

    Measured: 6 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Antrochoanal Polyp, run by Minia University at 1 site in Egypt.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 2 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 18 Nov 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Egypt. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

presence of anatomical and pathological variants in CT scan and endoscopic examination (time frame: 6 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 18 Nov 2023.
