Background: The aims of this study were to propose a novel and uniï¬ed classiï¬cation system of the optico-carotid recess (OCR) and anterior clinoid process (ACP) pneumatization, determine their frequency in a Caucasian population and measure the size of the OCR.
Methodology: A total of 200 specimen (400 sphenoid sinuses) were evaluated in a separate anatomic cadaveric study (n=100) and radiologic study (n=100) by using sphenoidal sinus cast and computed tomography (CT) scan. OCR was divided according to its location to the optic nerve into sub-optical and latero-optical OCR grade I-III.
Article Synopsis
- Osteomas are bone tumors that mostly occur in the skull, especially in the paranasal sinuses, and the study focuses on different surgical approaches for removing these tumors.
- The research involved 58 patients treated from 2001 to 2015, where endoscopic methods predominated for resection, with open and combined methods used for more complex cases.
- Accurate diagnosis relies on a combination of clinical exams, imaging techniques, and careful preoperative planning to choose the best surgical approach, especially when the tumor's resectability is uncertain.
Article Synopsis
- * This study investigated the relationship between the ethmoidal bulla and uncinate process, finding that they are fused at their upper ends, creating a consistent landmark that can assist surgeons during surgeries involving the ethmoid and frontal recess.
- * Advanced imaging techniques, such as high-resolution 3D CT scans, provide detailed insights into sinonasal anatomy that can enhance surgical planning, potentially improving outcomes for minimally invasive procedures.
