Sažetak
Aim: The aim of this study was to detect the frequency of type 6 deformation overall compared to the
results obtained by the conventional diagnostic method and to determine if there was a difference according to
this deformation type in speech and hearing performances.
Methods: The study was performed at the Institute of Anatomy, where a total of 114 randomly selected
skulls were scanned by the cone-beam technique (CBCT). The other group of 100 patients, 50 with and 50
without type 6 deformation was examined by ORL and speech therapists at the ORL HNS Department to
determine if there was a significant deterioration in speech and hearing performances between those groups.
Results: There was a statistically significant difference (p<0.0001) in the frequency of type 6
deformation as diagnosed by visual inspection (22.8%) and computed tomography (7.9%). No statistically
significant difference was found between the two groups of patients with or without type 6 deformation in
speech and hearing performances according to the patient’s age and sex.
Conclusions: The frequency of type 6 nasal septal deformation was higher by visual inspection of the
skulls than by CT imaging. Septal deformation type 6, probably have one-fourth to one-fifth people in the
population, so the number of clinically overlooked and/or unrecognized types 6 was much greater than we
thought it to be. According to a high frequency of those deformations, we explored if there was a deterioration
in speech and hearing performances in those patients but we did not find significant difference according to
the patient’s age and sex.
