Abstract: Sinonasal disease, especially rhinosinusitis, is the most prevalent disease in the Otorhinolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery Department. Different anatomical variations of the lateral walls of nose play important role in contributing to osteomeatal complex obstruction, and drainage and ventilation distruption, which eventually causes inflammation of the sinus mucosa. To discover the characteristics of sinonasal anatomical variations in patients with chronic rhinosinusitis based on their CT scan findings. This is an observative descriptive study using cross-sectional design. All chronic rhinosinusitis patients who came to department of Otorhinolaryngology in H Adam Malik General Hospital and Universitas Sumatera Utara Hospital, Medan, Indonesia, will undergo CT Scan examination to explore their anatomical variation. The inclusion criteria of this study is patient diagnose with chronic rhinosinusitis who are not diagnosed with nasal polyp, who do not have history of nasal trauma and do not have history of previous nasal surgery. Of 40 patients with chronic rhinosinusitis, 21 patients were male and 19 patients were female. The most prevalent anatomical variation found is septal deviation (18 patients/ 45%), with maxillary sinus as the most involved sinus (85%). From the CT scan findings of chronic rhinosinusitis patients, the most prevalent anatomical variation is septal deviation that is found in 18 patients (45%). This high inciden
