Anatomic variations of sphenoid sinus from Cone Beam Computed Tomography images in the Iranian population
Aims: Sphenoid sinus is one of the most inaccessible paranasal sinus, and is closely correlated to many vascular and neural structures. Anatomic variation of the sphenoid sinus can complicate surgery in this area. The aim of the present investigation was to define the sphenoid sinus variations and the relevant structures using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). Methods: This cross-sectiona...
متن کاملAssessment of sphenoid sinus related anatomic variations with computed tomography
INTRODUCTION Frequent and broad application of endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS) in parallel with experience makes it imperative to know the anatomy and the existing pathology very well before surgery. This study examines the association between anomalies in the sphenoid sinus area in paranasal sinuses computed tomography (PNS-CT) and pathological findings and determines variations of sphenoid sin...
متن کاملOpen Sinus Lift Surgery and the Importance of Preoperative Cone-Beam Computed Tomography Scan: A Review
Open sinus lift surgery is a form of pre-prosthetic surgery for increasing the quality and quantity of bone in the posterior region of the maxilla. Pre-operative assessment of the maxillary sinus is essential for the success of this surgery. PubMed search was carried out in English language literature for open sinus lift surgery and cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). The results focused on a...
متن کاملComputed tomography imaging of the coronary sinus: a valuable preoperative screen for resynchronization therapy?
The study by Młynarska et al. [1] expands upon two previous studies [2, 3] evaluating the ability of multi-detector computed tomography (MDCT) imaging to visualize the coronary sinus (CS) and its branches in patients undergoing placement of a cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) system. As previously observed, the main body of the CS could be reasonably well visualized, whereas the lateral c...
متن کاملArrested Pneumatization of the Sphenoid Sinus on Large Field-of-View Cone Beam Computed Tomography Studies
Arrested pneumatization of the sphenoid sinus is a normal anatomical variant. The aim of this report is to define cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) characteristics of arrested pneumatization of sphenoid sinus in an effort to help differentiate it from invasive or lytic skull base lesions. Two cases are presented with incidental findings. Both studies, acquired for other diagnostic purposes, ...
