The sinus sphenoidalis is the paranasal sinus most centrally located in the skull base and known to vary extremely in dimensions. A very large volume of the sinus visible on skull radiographs is called sinus 'hyperaeration'. This finding has been described many times in the literature, but is generally rare.

We report our study of the histologic effect of topical silver nitrate on samples of septal tissue obtained from 11 patients. We found that 30 seconds of exposure allowe...
متن کاملStudy of the relationship between sphenoid sinus volume and protrusions in the sphenoid sinus
The relationship between the volume of sphenoid sinus (SS) and the prevalence of internal carotid artery (ICA) and optic nerve (ON) protrusions in the SS was studied by using high-resolution CT imaging. The ICA and ON protrusions in SS were observed in randomly selected normal head CT scanning images from 350 adult subjects. According to the incidence of ICA protrusion, three groups were divide...
