Introduction: Radiologic evaluation is mandatory to assess the type of endoscopic approach concerning sinonasal pathology and reconstruction of fractured defects before any treatment modalities are instituted related to medial wall of the orbit.
Objective: The goal was to provide improved understanding of the lamina papyracea variations and the relationship with the orbital morphometry.
Methods: This retrospective study was performed using computed tomography scans of 200 orbits and results were compared with respect to age, sex, laterality and LP variations.
Results: Lamina papyracea variations were categorized as type A, 80.5% (161/200); type B, 16% (32/200); type C, 3.5% (7/200). For medial wall the anterior and posterior lamina papyracea heights and angles were found as 17.14mm, 147.88° and 9.6mm, 152.72°, respectively. Also, the length of the lamina papyracea, the mean area of the orbital floor, medial wall, lamina papyracea and orbital entrance were 33.3mm, 7.2cm, 6.89cm, 4.51cm and 12.46cm respectively. The orbital height and width were measured as 35.9mm and 39.2mm respectively. The mean orbital cavity depth was 46.3mm from optic foramen to the orbital entrance and the orbital volume was 19.29cm. We analyzed the morphometric measurements tending to increase with aging and greater in men and the relationship of them with lamina papyracea types.
Conclusion: Precise knowledge of the lamina papyracea anatomy using computed tomography is essential for safer and more effective surgery and preforming the dimensions of an implant. In this way, the postoperative complications can be decreased and the best outcome can be provided.

Otolaryngology Department, Faculty of Medicine, Menoufia University, Shebin El-Kom, Egypt.
Article Synopsis
- Infraorbital ethmoidal air cells (IOEAc) are a type of ethmoidal cells located beneath the orbit, showing significant anatomical variation in humans.
- A study involving 1260 CT scans aimed to identify and classify these variations, noting the presence of IOEAc in 173 cases (13.7%).
- The new classification system categorized the air cells into five main types with various subtypes, enhancing understanding for clinical practice and future research.

Eur Arch Otorhinolaryngol
November 2024
Department of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery, McGill University, Royal Victoria Hospital, Montreal, QC, Canada.
Purpose: To assess the inter-rater agreement of the Cribriform plate, Lamina papyracea, Onodi cell, Sphenoid sinus pneumatization, and Ethmoidal artery (CLOSE) checklist results among rhinology & skull-base surgeons and a head and neck-neuroradiology specialist for pre-operative computed tomography (CT) sinus assessment.
Methods: This retrospective cross-sectional study reviewed 50 patients who underwent endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS) in the period between January 2013 and March 2014 at the Royal Victoria Hospital in Montreal, Canada. According to the CLOSE checklist, the CT scans were evaluated independently by one surgeon and one radiologist using the InteleRadiology Picture Archiving and Communication System (IntelePACS).
A case report and systematic review of periorbital emphysema following nose blowing or sneezing.
Ann R Coll Surg Engl
November 2024
Periorbital emphysema following nose blowing or sneezing is rare. Although it is often self-limiting, air trapping in the orbit can raise the intraocular pressure leading to visual complications. At present, the literature on this topic is confined to case reports.

Article Synopsis
- Allergic fungal sinusitis (AFS) is a serious condition that leads to bone destruction and can affect the orbit and skull base, prompting the need for surgical intervention when medical management fails.
- The study reviewed 30 cases of AFS with both intracranial and intraorbital involvement, revealing that most patients were young, predominantly male, and many were African American with low-income insurance status.
- Post-surgery, patients experienced an average hospital stay of 4.8 days, with most undergoing combined surgical techniques from specialists, while a significant portion also received follow-up allergy care.
