Anatomic concepts of the paranasal sinuses have been known since the late nineteenth and
early twentieth centuries. 1 These have assumed greater significance in recent times due to …

The sphenoid sinus, one of the posterior groups of sinuses, has long been regarded as a
'neglected sinus' due to the anatomical location, poor understanding and poor accessibility …

We searched for the surgically risky anatomic variations of sphenoid sinus and aimed to
compare axial and coronal tomography in detection of these variations. Fifty-six paranasal …

Background: Sphenoid sinus is the most inaccessible paranasal sinus, enclosed within the
sphenoid bone and intimately related to numerous vital neural and vascular structures …

OBJECTIVE: We describe the detailed microsurgical anatomic features of the clinoid (C5)
segment of the internal carotid artery (ICA) and surrounding structures, clarify the anatomic …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Aeration of the sphenoid sinus expands with the
development of the sphenoid bone, but scant detailed volumetric data regarding this …

Background Because of the complex anatomy of the head and neck region, conventional
projection radiography alone is unreliable and carries a high risk of misdiagnosis. The poor …

With the advent of multidetector computed tomography (MDCT), imaging of paranasal
sinuses prior to functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) has become mandatory …

Object An anterior clinoidectomy can provide enormous benefits, facilitating the
management of paraclinoid and upper basilar artery lesions, but it also carries the potential …

Computerized tomography (CT) of the paranasal sinuses is usually required prior to
endoscopic sinus surgery. CT demonstrates both the extent of disease (s) and the …
