In the present study, we aimed to assess frontal ethmoidal cells by using segmentation 3D software to establish a possible correlation between volume variation and both gender and age, as well as a relationship with Keros classification. Helical computed tomography images were obtained from 71 patients for analysis, in which the agger nasi cell, supra agger cell, supra agger frontal cell, supra bulla frontal cell, supraorbital ethmoidal cell, supra bulla cell, and frontal septal cell were identified and segmented to obtain their volume. Significant differences in volume were found for age and gender regarding agger nasi cells (p-value = 0.017), supra agger cells (p-value < 0.001), and frontal septal cells (p-value = 0.049). In the frontal septal cells, an increase of one year in age reduced the volume by 0.309, on average. According to Keros classification, the mean volumes were 10.07 and 25.64, respectively, for types II and III, both being greater than that of type I. Extracting volumetric data by using segmentation software in agger nasi cells, supra agger cells, and frontal septal cells may be useful for obtaining additional information related to age, in addition to possibly contributing to elucidating the anatomical variations in the region and an identification forensic tool.

Introducción: El dimorfismo sexual se basa en las diferencias y características propias de ambos sexos en una misma especie.Objetivo: La investigación tuvo como propósito determinar el dimorfismo sexual de los senos maxilares de pacientes entre 18 y 60 años de edad de una población alto- andina del Perú que fueron analizados con Tomografías Cone Beam.Método: La siguiente investigación tuvo un alcance descriptivo, observacional, transversal y retrospectivo; la muestra estuvo conformada por 190 tomografías Cone Beam de pacientes entre 18 y 60 años de edad de ambos sexos, donde se analizaron 380 senos maxilares de, en los que se determinaron el dimorfismo sexual de los senos maxilares en altura, ancho, longitud y volumen.Resultados: El dimorfismo sexual es mayor en el género masculino con respecto al femenino, el volumen fue el mejor parámetro discriminante del seno maxilar derecho que podría utilizarse para estudiar el dimorfismo sexual con una precisión total del 82.6%, 88.1% respectivamente, seguida del ancho con una precisión de 74.2% en ambos lados, con menor porcentaje se encontró a la altura con una precisión del 69.5% y 72.1% respectivamente, la longitud con una precisión del 67.9%, 68.4% respectivamente.Conclusión: Se determinó que, el dimorfismo sexual muestra valores más altos en el sexo masculino a diferencia del sexo femenino.
