The study focuses on the classification of lamellar cells in the middle turbinate, specifically a condition known as concha bullosa, proposing a new radiologic classification system.
It analyzed 195 CT scans, finding that 47.7% of patients had lamellar cells, mostly occurring on both sides equally.
The research concludes that rare cell types 3 and 4 indicate complete pneumatization and may relate to instability of the middle turbinate.
