Roof Of Ethmoid Sinus Radiology

The middle group are now incorporated into the anterior group.

Roof of ethmoid sinus radiology.

Ethmoid mucoceles are considered the second most commonest in location 2. This page provides a gallery of images that presents the anatomical structures found on orbit ct. The ethmoid labyrinth is covered by the fovea ethmoidalis of the frontal bone and separates the ethmoidal cells from the anterior cranial fossa. The ethmoid roof is primarily formed by the fovea or fossa ethmoidalis an extension of the orbital plate of the frontal bone 4 6 10.

Materials and methods we retrospectively studied multiplanar reformatted ct images of the paranasal sinus 1 mm sections from 110 patients 50 male 60 female. Objective we evaluated the extent of asymmetry evident in paranasal sinus computed tomography ct scans of turkish patients without sinusitis in the ethmoid roof. The very thin horizontal cribriform plate lamina cribrosa of the ethmoid bone is bounded laterally by the vertical lateral lamella. Historically the ethmoid sinuses were subdivided into 3 groups of air cells.

Our data contribute to the body of knowledge on the subject. The lateral lamella joins the cribriform plate to the fovea ethmoidalis. The bone plates of the two sides may be at different levels figure 1. The anterior middle and posterior ethmoidal air cells.

An ethmoid mucocele is a form of a paranasal sinus mucocele involving the ethmoid air cells.
