Objective: To reveal the reliability of radiological measurements of the ethmoid arteries.
Method: Five fresh frozen cadaveric heads underwent computed tomography and endoscopic sinus surgery. The lateromedial length of the anterior ethmoidal artery (AEA) and its distance to the axilla of the middle turbinate (MTA), the sphenoethmoidal recess (SR) and the posterior ethmoidal artery were measured. The posterior ethmoidal artery (PEA) was referenced to the SR. These anatomical parameters were measured both radiologically and endoscopically, and the compatibility of the two was examined.
Results: Ten nasal cavities were dissected. We found that the distance of MTA to the AEA was 16±8 mm in dissection, 21±4 mm radiologically in the sagittal section, the distance of SR to the AEA was 14±3 mm in dissection, 19±4 mm radiologically in the sagittal section, and the distance of the AEA to the PEA was 10±3 mm in dissection, 12±3 mm radiologically in the axial section. The distance of the PEA to SR was 6±3 mm in dissection, 8±2 mm radiologically in the sagittal section.
Conclusions: The distance of the AEA to the MTA, the distance of the AEA to the PEA and the distance of the PEA to the SR were compatible with each other in the dissection and in the radiologically evaluation, whereas the distance of the AEA to the SR was not compatible.

Article Synopsis
- This study focuses on the changes in palatal rugae (the ridges on the hard palate) following orthodontic treatment, investigating whether their shape, complexity, and area are affected by treatment with or without tooth extractions.
- Researchers analyzed pre- and post-treatment plaster models from a sample of 61 cases, using advanced software to measure changes in the outlines, fractal dimensions (complexity), and area occupied by the rugae.
- Results showed significant differences in the distance between pre- and post-treatment outlines for extraction versus non-extraction groups, but no significant changes in the complexity of the rugae before and after treatment.

Role of Anterior Ethmoidal Artery as a useful landmark in FESS based on CT analysis- a hospital-based study. The present retrospective study was conducted in our tertiary care Centre on 99 NCCT nose and PNS (coronal, axial and Sagittal cuts) were studied for distance of anterior ethmoidal artery from skull base and frontal sinus. Number and type of intervening air cells were also studied.

Objective: Landmark arteries during endoscopic sinus surgery are currently identified on the basis of anatomy, CT imaging and navigation, and Doppler flowmetry. However, the advantage of intraoperative fluorescence imaging during endoscopic sinus surgery has not been demonstrated. This study aimed to investigate whether Indocyanine Green (ICG) is useful for visualizing landmark arteries during endoscopic sinus and skull base surgery.

Objective: To analyze variability in the distance between the Anterior Ethmoidal Artery (AEA) and the anterior Skull Base (SB), as well as the frequency of lateral asymmetry in a Latin American population using computed tomography.
Methods: A total of 250 computed tomography scans of paranasal sinuses in coronal reconstruction (500 AEAs) were analyzed. After determining the image with the best anatomical view of the artery, the distance between its midpoint and the ethmoidal roof was measured, and the images were independently interpreted by 2 physicians.

To study and analyse the variations in ethmoid roof anatomy and estimate the anatomical location and variations of AEA on CT scans. The study is conducted on 200 patients for detailed analysis of the olfactory fossa (OF) depth, supraorbital pneumatisation, and AEA location and distance from the skull base. In our study, Keros type II was predominant type seen followed by type I.
