Role of mastoid pneumatization in temporal bone fractures.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The mastoid portion of the temporal bone has multiple functional roles in the organism, including regulation of pressure in the middle ear and protection of the inner ear. We investigated whether mastoid pneumatization plays a role in the protection of vital structures in the temporal bone during direct lateral trauma. MATERIAL AND METHODS The study was performed on 20 ...
متن کاملA comparative study of the pneumatization of the mastoid air cells and the frontal and maxillary sinuses.
The paranasal sinuses and the mastoid air-cell systems are evaginations of the mucous membrane of the nasal and nasopharyngeal cavities . Separate theories regarding their pneumatization have been suggested. However, correlation studies between the two systems giving a possible clue to a common pneumatizing process have been few (1 , 2]. One hundred adult patients without ear disease and minima...
متن کاملTemporal bone pneumatization in cystic fibrosis: a correlation with genotype?
OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS Paranasal sinus pneumatization in patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) is less extensive compared to the general population and seems to be correlated to CF genotype. Interestingly, in CF patients temporal bone pneumatization (TBP) is more extensive compared to the general population, and middle ear pathology is generally uncommon in CF. It is debated whether TBP is influenc...
متن کاملMastoid pneumocele causing atlantooccipital pneumatization.
A 49-year-old woman had a palpable mass in her occipital region. Plain radiographs and CT examination revealed extensive atlantooccipital pneumatization with findings consistent with the diagnosis of mastoid pneumocele. Decompression was achieved with placement of a myringotomy tube, resulting in prompt symptomatic relief. On a follow-up CT examination, the pneumatized areas had become opacifie...
متن کاملCombined Aplasia of Sphenoid, Frontal, and Maxillary Sinuses With Hypoplasia of The Ethmoid Sinus
which permits unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited. Paranasal sinuses are prone to a great diversity of anomalies. Aplasia of the frontal sinus is a relatively common phenomenon and may be accompanied with hypoplasia of the maxillary sinus, but combined aplasia or underde-velopment of the paranasal sinuses is unusual (1, 2)...
