Article Synopsis
- Sphenoid sinuses are hollow spaces in the sphenoid bone that can be undeveloped (agenesis) or exist as a single antrum due to the absence of a septum; understanding these variants is crucial for pituitary and sinus surgeries.
- A study of 300 patients revealed that 1% experienced agenesis of the sphenoid sinuses and only 0.33% had a single sphenoid sinus, with no significant gender differences.
- Proper preoperative imaging is essential for safely planning transsphenoidal surgery due to the rarity of these anatomical variations.
Background: There is a great variance between the extents of pneumatisation of the sphenoid sinuses that can reach beyond the body of the sphenoid bone. The purpose of this study was to find the prevalence of the recesses of the sphenoid sinuses in Polish adult population.
Materials And Methods: Two hundred ninety-six computed tomography (CT) scans of patients who did not present any pathology in the sphenoid sinuses were evaluated in this retrospective analysis.
Background: Many reports have previously indicated the vast number of anatomical variations of the sphenoid sinuses, e.g. presence of the recesses.
