The following study presents an example of seven anomalies, amongst which at least few have manifested clinically in the examined patient.

To explore and analyze the imaging features of arrested pneumatization of the sphenoid sinus, so as to provide reference for identifying sphenoid lesions. From May 2018 to September 2019, a retrospective analysis was conducted on 350 patients (183 males and 167 females, aged between 18 and 73 years) who had been completed the sinus CT examination in the outpatient department of Beijing Chaoyang Hospital Affiliated to Capital Medical University. Their imaging data were collected and the CT/MRI characteristics of the sphenoid body were observed.

Objectives: To assess the demographic and radiographic features of arrested pneumatization of the sphenoid sinus (APS) and their influence on the confidence of oral and maxillofacial radiologists (OMFRs) in diagnosing APS.

Methods: Reports of cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) APS were retrieved, and the demographic and radiographic features were retrospectively analyzed. Five OMFRs assessed the CBCT images and their confidence in diagnosing APS.
