The Reliability of Computerized Tomographic Detection of the Onodi (Sphenoethmoid) Cell

Abstract: Optic nerve injury is a devastating potential complication of endoscopic sinus surgery. Anatomic variations of the posterior ethmoid sinus are certainly contributing factors. In the most well described posterior ethmoid anatomical variant, the sphenoethmoid or Onodi cell, the optic nerve is placed at risk during sinus surgery. Improving preoperative and intraoperative identification of the sphenoethmoid (Onodi) cell could decrease the risk of optic nerve injury. The purpose of this investigation was to assess … Show more

“…Recently, endoscopic surgery has been started to be used for the structures located behind the borders of paranasal sinuses. [6] In cases of epistaxis, challenging operations as internal maxillary artery ligation, repairs of cerebrospinal fluid leakage, orbital decompression and pituitary gland interventions can be performed endoscopically. As has been observed, transnasal interventions decrease morbidity and mortality rates when compared with transcranial procedures.…”

“…As a result of its location the optic nerve, and less commonly, the internal carotid artery (ICA), are very closely related with a very thin bone (0.03 mm in thickness) separating them [9] (Fig. 6).…”

“…Christmas et al 28 suggested that such great variation might be explained by the different definition criteria or by ethnic differences. 29 In agreement with Driben et al, 25 we believe that the endoscope is an adequate instrument to detect an Onodi cell.…”
