The evidence that AMOs cause chronic sinusitis and FESS failure is insufficient and cannot explain the presence of AMOs in healthy individuals or children. There are very few studies in the literature examining the NSD-AMO relationship. In our study, high rates of NSD and AMO were found in individuals without paranasal disease, but no statistically significant relationship was found between the presence, location, and type of NSD and AMO. Early-onset, long-term prospective studies on the relationship between NSD and AMO may help to explain the etiopathogenesis of paranasal diseases that reduce quality of life.
