The cross-sectional area (CSA) of the IT bone and soft tissue were measured at anterior, middle, and posterior thirds of the IT in coronal CT sections. The ratio of CSA of the IT bone and soft tissue on two sides of the septum (interturbinate ratio [IR]) were calculated. IRs were then compared among straight septum and deviation groups for both the pediatric and the adult groups.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>IR of the bony concha CSA for the deviation group was significantly higher compared with the straight septum group in anterior, middle, and posterior segments in adults (p = 0.028, 0.018, and &lt;0.001, respectively; independent samples t-test). The soft tissue component hypertrophy was prominent only in the middle segment (p = 0.15); however, there was no significant difference for pediatric patients. Also, there was a statistically significant difference between the adult group with septum deviation and the pediatric group with septum deviation for both soft tissue and bone components (p &lt; 0.001 for all segments; independent samples t-test).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We claim that these results indicate that skeletal and soft tissue IT hypertrophy seem to be compensatory and evolves with age rather than being congenital. Therefore, skeletal enlargement is prominent in anterior, middle, and posterior thirds of HIT in patients with septal deviation in adults but not in the pediatric group.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.2500\/ajra.2013.27.3918","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2013,7,24]],"date-time":"2013-07-24T12:38:30Z","timestamp":1374669510000},"page":"255-259","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["Unilateral Inferior Turbinate Bone Hypertrophy: Is it Compensatory or Congenital?"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"27","author":[{"given":"Gaffar","family":"Aslan","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otorhinolaryngology, Head and Neck Surgery, Faculty of Medicine, Bilim University, Florence Nightingale Hospital, Istanbul, Turkey"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Lokman","family":"Uzun","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otorhinolaryngology, Head and Neck Surgery, Istanbul Medeniyet University, School of Medicine, Goztepe Training and Research Hospital, Istanbul, Turkey"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Mehmet Birol","family":"Ugur","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otorhinolaryngology, Head and Neck Surgery, Bulent Ecevit University, School of Medicine, Zonguldak, Turkey"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yesim Selim","family":"Uckurt","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Departments of Radiology and Fatih University, School of Medicine, Sema Training and Research Hospital, Istanbul, Turkey"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Omer Faik","family":"Sagun","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Otorhinolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery, Fatih University, School of Medicine, Sema Training and Research Hospital, Istanbul, Turkey"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Osman","family":"Yazicilar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Otorhinolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery, Fatih University, School of Medicine, Sema Training and Research Hospital, Istanbul, Turkey"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2018,4,27]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-ajra.2013.27.3918","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.otc.2009.01.008"},{"key":"bibr2-ajra.2013.27.3918","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00006534-198408000-00009"},{"key":"bibr3-ajra.2013.27.3918","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00005537-200012000-00024"},{"key":"bibr4-ajra.2013.27.3918","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1017\/S0022215100123308"},{"key":"bibr5-ajra.2013.27.3918","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/archotol.1990.01870030047007"},{"key":"bibr6-ajra.2013.27.3918","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/194589240401800612"},{"key":"bibr7-ajra.2013.27.3918","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00005537-200401000-00020"},{"key":"bibr8-ajra.2013.27.3918","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1159\/000147295"},{"key":"bibr9-ajra.2013.27.3918","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/BF01794761"},{"key":"bibr10-ajra.2013.27.3918","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/000164800750001080"},{"key":"bibr11-ajra.2013.27.3918","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ejrex.2004.06.004"},{"key":"bibr12-ajra.2013.27.3918","first-page":"234","volume":"44","author":"Farmer S.E.J.","year":"2006","journal-title":"Rhinology"}],"container-title":["American Journal of Rhinology &amp; Allergy"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.2500\/ajra.2013.27.3918","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/full-xml\/10.2500\/ajra.2013.27.3918","content-type":"application\/xml","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.2500\/ajra.2013.27.3918","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2026,4,28]],"date-time":"2026-04-28T09:34:17Z","timestamp":1777368857000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/10.2500\/ajra.2013.27.3918"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2013,7]]},"references-count":12,"journal-issue":{"issue":"4","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2013,7]]}},"alternative-id":["10.2500\/ajra.2013.27.3918"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.2500\/ajra.2013.27.3918","relation":{},"ISSN":["1945-8924","1945-8932"],"issn-type":[{"value":"1945-8924","type":"print"},{"value":"1945-8932","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2013,7]]}}}
