Abstract

Background: In the final weeks preceding birth, the mastoid pneumatization generally commences. Aims: This study aimed to investigate the developmental correlations between the degree of mastoid pneumatization and the angles of septal deviations. Subjects and Methods: In this comparative cross-sectional study, at Benha University Hospital, 150 patients with septal deviation who underwent septoplasty at outpatient clinics were examined. In accordance with the angles of septal deviation, the patients were categorized into three groups: Group's septal deviations were classified as modest (degrees), moderate (between 9 and 15 degrees), and severe (15 degrees and above). History taking and demographic data collection were conducted on all patients, ENT examination, and radiological examination. Results: The three groups of angels with nasal septal deviation (NSD) that were studied exhibit an air volume difference that is statistically significant between the right and left mastoid bones. mainly air volume in right left mastoid bone found to be significantly slightly increased
