Summary: The author's intention is to find out whether there exists any difference of the incidence and characteristics of pathological septal deformities in subjects belonging to various ethnic groups as well as countries in the world. The basic concept of the project investigation consists of examining as much subjects in each ethnic group or geographical region by means of anterior rhinoscopy. The observations are performed in accoordance to Mladina's classification of pathological septal deformities. The results obtained so far from seven various homogenous ethnic group suggest almost equal distribution of pathological septal deformities all over the world. Regarding geographical distribution some differences can be of interest for further investigations. The practical aim of this project is to find out the most effective way for the establishment of a strict, internationaly accepted staging system for chronic rhinosinusitis that could be applied and set up in any computer database system in the world. First results strongly encourage further investigations.

Keywords: nasal septum, septal deformities, ethnic differences, incidence

Research goals: The aim of this investigation is to find out the distribution of pathological septal deformities in the world. This is the way how to enable checking of the Mladina's classification of pathological septal deformities (1987) which could become the base for the establishment of an internationaly accepted staging system for chronic rhinosinusitis and functional endoscopic sinus surgery. The results obtained so far suggest encourage facts for the future.
