Evaluation of Anatomical Variations of Nasal Cavity and Paranasal Sinuses with Cone Beam Computed Tomography
نویسندگان
چکیده
Material and Method: In this study, 251 patients’ nasal cavities and paranasal sinuses were evaluated using CBCT (Newtom 5G, Verona Italy) images in terms of anatomical variations. The high-resolution (voxel and slice thickness: 0.2 mm) multiplanar reformatting images (MPR) were used for the evaluation of the variations. Results: The most common anatomical variation of nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses found in this study was agger nasi cell (95.6%). The most rarely observed variation was sphenoid sinus aplasia (0.8%). There was no statistically significant relationship between concha bullosa and nasal septum deviation.

Introdouction: An exact knowledge of the anatomical variations of the paranasal sinuses (PNS) is critical for surgeons performing endoscopic sinus surgery and for radiologists involved in making preoperative evaluations. An important aspect is the determination of correlation between the anatomical variations of PNS and the presence of chronic rhinosinusitis (CR). Cone-beam computed tomograph...

Abstract Introduction: external nasal walls are an important factor in the drainage or obstruction of the ostiomeatal complex, therfor anatomical variations in the nasal cavity can elevate the risk of pathological sinus conditions. The aim of this study is to evaluate anatomical variations of paranasal sinuses and nasal cavities using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT). Materials and ...

Background: Paranasal sinus disease is one of the most common problems of patients that refer to ENT centers. Adding to clinical examination imaging plays an important role in diagnosis and treatment. Also the imaging of paranasal sinuses is necessary before surgery. Although computed tomography is the modality of choice for these areas, it has some disadvantages which the most important one is...
متن کاملAnatomic 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...
