Popis: Objective:To use computed tomography (CT) to determine the relationship between agger nasi (AN) cells and the development of frontal sinusitis.Methods:In total, 996 patients (402 females and 594 males; average age, 37.2±12.8 years; range, 18-75 years) underwent a CT scan due to frontal sinusitis. The presence of AN cells was recorded. Patients were divided two groups according to the presence of the AN cell. The Lund– Mackay score (LMS) of each paranasal sinus shadow was evaluated in all patients. The LMS in the groups were compared. A p-value of
