Multiplanar computed tomographic analysis of frontal recess cells: effect on frontal isthmus size and frontal sinusitis.
BACKGROUND Frontal recess anatomy can be very complex, with accessory cells such as frontal, agger nasi, and intersinus septal cells encroaching on the frontal recess and possibly contributing to obstruction of the frontal sinus. In this study, we determined the prevalence of these cells and their relationship to frontal sinusitis in patients who have (revision group) and have not (primary grou...
متن کاملThe Prevalence of Frontal Cells and Their Relation to Frontal Sinusitis: A Radiological Study of the Frontal Recess Area
Background. The frontal recess area represents a challenge to ENT surgeons due to its narrow confines and variable anatomy. Several types of cells have been described in this area. The agger nasi cells are the most constant ones. The frontal cells, originally classified by Kuhn into 4 types, have been reported in the literature to exist in 20%-41% of frontal recesses. Aim of the Study. To ident...
متن کاملEndoscopic frontal sinus obliteration: a new technique for the treatment of chronic frontal sinusitis.
OBJECTIVES Patients who fail endoscopic drainage procedures for chronic frontal sinusitis often require obliteration of the frontal sinus with abdominal fat. The purpose of this study was to evaluate an endoscopic technique for frontal sinus obliteration. STUDY DESIGN AND SETTING Retrospective case-control. Thirty-five patients underwent frontal sinus obliteration using either an endoscopic (...
متن کاملFrontal recess anatomy study by endoscopic dissection in cadavers.
INTRODUCTION AND AIMS The frontal sinus ostium is frequently difficult to recognize because of anatomical structures that hide it. The objective of the present study was to identify and describe the frontal recess anatomy that impairs the endoscopic recognition of the frontal sinus ostium. STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS A prospective study was conducted by consecutive endoscopic dissections of 32 c...
متن کاملClinical outcome of endoscopic surgery for frontal sinusitis.
OBJECTIVE To determine the efficacy of endoscopic surgery for chronic frontal sinusitis. DESIGN A prospective analysis of established measures of clinical outcome (Chronic Sinusitis Survey and Short Form 36) that was administered to patients before frontal sinus surgery and at intervals of 3 months, 6 months, and 1 year after surgery. INTERVENTIONS For limited disease, the frontal recess wa...
