Impact of bilateral nasal polyposis on the interoptic and interzygomatic distance

Purpose To identify and determine variations on eye distance in patients with bilateral nasal polyposis (BNP) compared to a healthy control group. Methods This is a case–control study that included 20 BNP patients and 40 healthy controls. We included all patients with BNP confirmed by pathology and...

Description
Summary:Purpose To identify and determine variations on eye distance in patients with bilateral nasal polyposis (BNP) compared to a healthy control group. Methods This is a case–control study that included 20 BNP patients and 40 healthy controls. We included all patients with BNP confirmed by pathology and a computed tomography scan. A healthy control group was admitted, filtered by the exclusion criteria of nasal polyposis, craniofacial malformations, and encephalocele. Paranasal sinus CT scans were performed in all participants, and two measures were evaluated, the interoptic (soft tissue) and the interzygomatic (bone structure) distances. Results A total of 20 BNP subjects, 13 (65%) male and 7 (35%) female, with a mean age of 38.8 years, and 40 healthy controls, 16 (40%) male and 24 (60%) female with a mean age of 43.2 years, were included. The mean interoptic distance was 69.7 mm (71.9 mm men, 66.4 mm women) and interzygomatic distance was 103.1 mm (104.5 mm men, 100.6 mm women). A significant increase of the interoptic ( p
