Abstract: The aim of this study is the evaluation of the anatomical
structures of sphenoid sinus ostium used as a reference point for
transsphenoidal surgery by cone beam computed tomography. The
authors’ study was performed using the cone-beam computed tomography
images of 16 to 82-year old 200 (112 female, 88 male)
patients (Newton 5G, Verona, Italy). Septum deviation of sphenoid
sinus and the distance between 2 ostia were evaluated by coronal and
axial sections, respectively. Pneumatization degree of sphenoid sinus,
diameter of sphenoid sinus ostium, and distance lower edge of superior
turbinate to sphenoid sinus ostium were measured by using sagittal
sections. The sellar type was the most common pneumatization type of
sphenoid sinus in authors’ study. While the C-type septum deviation
was observed as the most common, T-type deviation was the least
type. Sphenoid sinus ostium was bilaterally in 71.5% of individuals,
and it was not found in 10% of individuals included in the study. A
significant decrease was determined in diameter of the left sphenoid
sinus ostium with aging. The distances between 2 sphenoid sinus ostia
were 7.30 2.77 mm for women and 6.09 2.58 mm for men,
respectively. No statistical differences were found in women and
men in terms of distances between the lower edge of the right and left
superior turbinate and sphenoid sinus ostium on their sides. Consequently,
making detailed preoperative radiological evaluation of
anatomic variations of sphenoid sinus and sphenoid sinus ostium is
important in terms of guiding the surgeon in the process of a successful
transsphenoidal surgery.
