This study aimed to describe the imaging aspects of a concha bullosa discovered incidentally by means cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) imaging. A female patient underwent CBCT exam, and bilateral extensive pneumatization middle was verified, presenting larger dimension right side deviated septum. The reported nasal obstruction loss smell. for covering maxillofacial region allowed discovery ...

We report a case of pneumatization of the upper cervical spine and the craniocervical junction, including the occipital bone, accompanied by extensive soft tissue emphysema. There was no history of trauma or surgery. Follow-up X-ray and CT demonstrated the development of those changes. A combination of a developmental abnormality and the unusual habit of frequent Valsalva's maneuvers may have l...

OBJECTIVES Recent radiological studies have demonstrated that formation of the sphenoid sinus is preceded by a phase of fatty transformation of the bone marrow, and then by a phase of fat involution prior to the appearance of an aerated cavity and that this process can sometimes be interrupted, resulting in the persistence of images of arrested pneumatisation. The objective of the study was to ...

(1) Background: The optic strut (OS) is a critical landmark for clinoid and paraclinoid surgical interventions. To our knowledge, the current literature only mentioned OS as possibility lesser sphenoidal wing (LSW) pneumatization path, without proper study of patterns prevalence within this structure. Thus, aim was to fill in missing information. (2) Methods: A retrospective on 80 cone beam com...

Background Although uncommon, intracranial suppurative complication of sinusitis in children can occur. The progressive pneumatization of the sinuses after birth and the late appearance of the sphenoid and frontal sinuses explain the predilection for intracranial sinogenic complications in older children and adolescents. Early imaging is crucial to diagnosis and brain MRI is the most useful tes...
