Positive pressure transmitted from continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) to the sinuses and skull base in the early post-operative period has not been studied in live subjects and controversy exists in when to restart this post-operatively. This study found that approximately 32.76% and 13.52% of the delivered CPAP pressures reached the post-surgical sphenoid sinus and the mid-nasal cavity, respectively, suggesting that surgical factors such as tissue edema, nasal packing, blood, and nasal secretions may provide a protective effect.

Three-Dimensional Measurements of Sphenoid Sinus Size by Sex in a Korean Population: An Exploratory Study.

Department of Bio Health Convergency Open Sharing System, Dan-Kook University, Cheonan 31116, Republic of Korea.
This study aims to investigate the three-dimensional morphological differences of the sphenoid sinus according to sex in the Korean adult population and conduct an exploratory study based on the findings. The sphenoid sinus, located deep within the skull, plays a crucial role in forensic identification due to its relative protection from external damage and its unique anatomical characteristics. Using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) data from 120 patients (60 males and 60 females) aged 20-29, the sphenoid sinus was visualized and measured in three dimensions using Mimics software (version 22.

Introduction: Unilateral sphenoid sinus opacification on computed tomography is caused by a variety of pathologies including inflammatory and infectious sinusitis, benign and malignant tumors, and encephaloceles. The purpose of this study was to report craniofacial pain locations and outcomes in inflammatory unilateral sphenoid sinusitis (USS) patients who underwent endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS).
Methods: A multi-institutional retrospective cohort study was conducted on all adult patients who had ESS for USS from 2015 to 2022.
Association between transcription factors expression and growth patterns of nonfunctioning pituitary adenomas.

Transcription factors (TFs), including steroidogenic factor-1 (SF-1), T-box transcription factor (TPIT) and pituitary transcription factor-1 (PIT-1), play a pivotal role in the cytodifferentiation of adenohypophysis. However, the impact of TFs on the growth patterns of nonfunctioning pituitary adenomas (NFPAs) remains unclear. This study aims to investigate the correlation between the expression of TFs and NFPAs growth patterns.

Background: The ethmoid roof separates the ethmoid cells from the anterior cranial fossa. From the medial side, the roof of the ethmoid is connected to the lateral lamella of the ethmoid plate, which is the thinnest bone at the base of the skull and is most vulnerable to damage during endoscopic surgeries. The purpose of this study is to investigate the height of the lateral lamella in patients with hypoplasia/aplasia of the paranasal sinuses and deviation of the nasal septum using reconstructed multiplanar images by cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT).

To investigate the clinical characteristics, treatment, and efficacy of spontaneous cerebrospinal fluid rhinorrhea (CFR) combined with aspiration pneumonia. In this case series study, a total of 8 patients diagnosed with spontaneous CFR combined with aspiration pneumonia were admitted to the Department of Otorhinolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery at Yuhuangding Hospital Affiliated with Qingdao University from March 2020 to March 2022. There were 3 males and 5 females, with ages ranging from 45 to 57 years.
