BACKGROUND: @entity102 ( @entity102 ) is the most common disease for which consultation of otorhinolaryngologist is sought. The approach to @entity1 with chronic rhino @entity1244 is endoscopic surgery which aims at removing the obstruction of the main drainage pathway. The osteomeatal complex based essentially on the concept that such obstruction perpetuates the @entity50 . This in turn requires the surgeons to have detailed knowledge of the anatomy of the lateral nasal wall, paranasal sinuses and surrounding vital structures and of the large number of anatomical variants in the region. AIM: To study anatomical variations of osteomeatal complex in chronic @entity1244 @entity1 . MATERIALS AND METHODS: Descriptive cross-sectional study design in which 54 consecutive cases of chronic rhino @entity1244 @entity1 attending the ENT outpatient department, who had chronic @entity1244 for more than three months duration not responding to the medical line of treatment and who were willing to undergo Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery satisfying the inclusion criteria were studied. The results were expressed in percentage and proportions. RESULTS: In our study it was observed that 53.7% of the chronic @entity1244 cases had two or more anatomical variations and 33.3% of the cases had single anatomical variation. @entity5381 was found to be the most common amongst the anatomical variations in chronic @entity1244 cases in the present study which was followed by unilateral @entity2640 and paradoxically bent middle turbinate. Agger nasi cell and Haller cell were seen in one case each. CONCLUSION: Prevalence of multiple anatomical variations was more in our study in comparison to single anatomical variation. @entity5381 was the most common anatomical variation encountered in our study followed by @entity2640 .
