“…Our data found 16 (12.3%) cases of this anomaly: nine (6.9%) on the right, four (3.1%) on the left, and three (2.3%) identified bilaterally. These results are very close to other studies, which reported from 11% to 14.3% cases [7,9,[11][12][13].…”

“…This could be explained by the critical location of Haller cells immediately lateral to the maxillary infundibulum which can interfere with the normal drainage of the maxillary sinus. Several investigators have also come to the same conclusion regarding the association between the presence of Haller cells and maxillary sinusitis [ 23 - 25 ]; on the other hand, some authors believe that only medium and large sized Haller cells can lead to mucosal thickening of the maxillary sinus [ 26 , 27 ].…”

Background:Several anatomical variations can lead to the inflammation of the paranasal sinuses; therefore, surgeons should be familiar with these variations and their impacts on the status of the paranasal sinuses.Objectives:The present study aimed to determine the prevalence of Haller cells and its association with patients’ sex and age. Furthermore, the relationships between the presence and size of Haller cells, deviation of the uncinate process and size of the maxillary sinus ostium with the occurrence of maxillary sinusitis were investigated.Materials/ Patients and Methods:120 coronal CBCT images were retrieved and analyzed. Statistical analysis of the data was performed by means of Mann - Whitney, χ2 and T tests.Results:There were statistically significant associations between the presence and surface area of Haller cells and the occurrence of ipsilateral maxillary sinusitis. Neither the angulation of the uncinate process nor the size of the maxillary sinus ostium significantly correlates with the formation of maxillary sinusitis.Conclusion:Haller cells can interfere with the normal drainage of the maxillary sinus and result in sinusitis. In contrast, diameter of the sinus ostium and deviation of the uncinate process do not influence the inflammatory status of the maxillary sinus significantly.

“…However, previous studies indicate no major anatomic predisposing factors for rhinosinusitis, which made this an unlikely issue. 16,17 Also, these distances were measured on two-dimensional CT images, and if these were not true axial and coronal planes, then measurements would be slightly off. To minimize this possibility, CTs with direct thin-cut (≤1 mm) axial acquisition protocols were used and the nasal floor was used to confirm the true nature of the axial plane.…”

Background:Transnasal endoscopic sphenopalatine artery ligation is becoming the procedure of choice for surgical management of intractable posterior epistaxis. Landmarks for localization of the sphenopalatine foramen can assist in rapid surgical exposure of the sphenopalatine artery.Objective:This study examined distances from easily identified endoscopic surgical landmarks to the sphenopalatine foramen.Methods:By using computed tomography of the sinus to study radiologic anatomy in 50 adults, distances were measured between five simple endoscopic landmarks and the sphenopalatine foramen. The two-tailed t-test was used for statistical analysis.Results:Right- and left-sided measurements were similar. The mean (standard deviation [SD]) anteroposterior distances to the sphenopalatine foramen were the following: from the maxillary line (36.7 ± 5.5 mm), anterior head of the middle turbinate (33.8 ± 6.7 mm), basal lamella (11.8 ± 1.9 mm), and choanal arch (−9.2 ± 1.4 mm). The mean (SD) distance in the vertical dimension from the nasal floor was 26.6 ± 2.6 mm. Female patients had statistically shorter distances to the sphenopalatine foramen from the maxillary line, anterior head of the middle turbinate, choanal arch, and nasal floor.Conclusion:Reliable endoscopic landmarks exist in relation to consistent anatomic structures and can be used to help quickly estimate the location of the sphenopalatine foramen at the onset of the procedure.
