A ROENTGENOLOGICAL STUDY ON MORPHOLOGY OF THE ETHMOIDAL SINUS WITH CHIEF REGARDS ON MORPHOLOGY OF THE ROOF OF THE ETHMOIDAL SINUS AND THE ORBITAL WALL

I reviewed X-ray films of the paranasal sinuses taken by the tomography in frontal section of the Japanese of various ages ranging from 3 to 85 years to determine the morphology and to measure the size of the roof of the ethmoidal sinus and the orbital wall. It was found that the morphology of the r...

Summary:I reviewed X-ray films of the paranasal sinuses taken by the tomography in frontal section of the Japanese of various ages ranging from 3 to 85 years to determine the morphology and to measure the size of the roof of the ethmoidal sinus and the orbital wall. It was found that the morphology of the roof of the ethmoidal sinus located in the upper portion of the ethmoidal sinus is rich in anatomical varieties. On the other hand, its lower portion shows a constant tendency, although some individual differences are seen. There are not a few reported cases in which endoscopic intranasal surgery was associated with complications. It is considered that not only familiality with the clinical anatomy but also accumulated experiences on detailed interpretation of images are required to perform the surgery safely and effectively, preventing such complications.
