Mucoceles are cystic formations lined with respiratory epithelium that contain a mucoid or mucopurulent fluid. Although benign, mucoceles are locally expansive, due to continuous production and accumulation of mucus, resulting in erosion and underlying bone remodeling. This may affect the orbit, skull base, or soft tissue of the face. Frontal, ethmoidal, and fronto-ethmoidal sinuses are the mos...

OBJECTIVES: To investigate fasting glucose, glucose tolerance, insulin resistance and insulin–like growth factor 1 in patients with or without colorectal polyps. MATERIALS AND METHODS: In this cross-sectional study, we evaluated fasting glucose, insulin, insulin–like growth factor 1 (IGF-1), lipid profile and glucose tolerance test in 103 patients undergoing colonoscopy (52 normal and 53 wit...

Ninety-three human skulls (80 adults and 13 children) have been examined and the extent of thin bone in the party walls between the orbit and the frontal, ethmoidal and maxillary sinuses has been assessed. Translucent bone is most often present in the lateral wall of the ethmoidal labyrinth and least often in the floor of the frontal sinus. In children such bone is present significantly less of...

objectives: new digital two-dimensional imaging systems are considered as an easily accessible modality for sinonasal evaluation. the aim of this study was to assess the diagnostic efficacy of digital waters’ and caldwell’s radiographic views for evaluation of sinonasal area. materials and methods: a total of 273 patients fulfilling the inclusion criteria were enrolled in this descriptive-analy...

Aims: It is the objective of this article to investigate the accessory ethmoidal foramina, located in the medial wall of the orbit, adjacent to the anterior and posterior ethmoidal foramina. Previous studies have shown that there is significant variation in the number and location of the fronto-ethmoidal foramina, causing potential complications during surgery. This study aims to identify acces...
