demonstrated asymmetric extension. Either one or both anterior ethmoidal arteries were exposed in 65.4% of the cases with supraorbital ethmoidal cells. Since more posterior extension of supraorbital ethmoidal cells is rare, the posterior ethmoidal artery was exposed in only 15 of the cases.Conclusions: The presence of supraorbital ethmoidal cells is not rare and evaluation of their extension is especially important to avoid complications during endoscopic sinus surgery. When the cells extend beyond the ethmoidal arteries, the high ethmoid roof will make these vessels open to laceration during surgical procedure. In order to avoid complications during endoscopic sinus surgery, thorough investigation of paranasal sinus CT scans is crucial.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
