Background: The thickness of extraocular muscles (EOMs) is important in the management of several conditions associated with EOM enlargement. This study determined the normative values of EOM diameters in adult patients seen at a teaching hospital in Nigeria.
Materials And Methods: The study measured the thickness of the EOMs and the interzygomatic line (IZL) on brain images of 300 patients with non-orbital conditions (150 computed tomography [CT] and 150 magnetic resonance imaging [MRI]) archived in the radiological database of Delta State University Hospital, Nigeria, after ethical clearance.
Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on measuring the optic nerve diameter in adult Nigerians to assist in diagnosing related medical conditions.
- 150 patients underwent MRI scans, revealing that male optic nerves are generally larger than females, but size isn't significantly affected by age.
- The findings establish a normal diameter range for optic nerves, which can help identify issues like raised intracranial pressure and other optic nerve-related pathologies.
Variations of the Nasal Septum in Adult Nigerians: Computed Tomography Study.
Int Arch Otorhinolaryngol
April 2023
The morphological variants of the nasal septum have been implicated in sinus pathology and pose a challenge during endoscopic surgeries. The present study aimed at evaluating the prevalence of nasal septum variants in adult Nigerians. The present study was performed at the Radiology Department of Delta State University Teaching Hospital, Nigeria, following ethical approval.

Background: The variant pneumatization patterns of the sphenoid sinus have significant surgical implications due to their associated inconsistent neurovascular relations. This study aimed at evaluating the pneumatization patterns of the sphenoid sinus in adult Nigerians.
Methods: This was a retrospective study conducted at the Radiology Department of a Tertiary Hospital in Nigeria after obtaining institutional ethical approval.
Variant neurovascular relations of the sphenoid sinus in adult Nigerians.
Niger Postgrad Med J
September 2021
Background: With the advent of endoscopic sinus surgery, the variant neurovascular relations of the sphenoid sinus are important to surgeons to minimise the iatrogenic complications. This study elucidates the variant neurovascular relations of the sphenoid sinus in adult Nigerians.
Materials And Methods: This study was conducted at the Radiology Department of Delta State University Teaching Hospital after institutional approval.
