This page provides a gallery of images that presents the anatomical structures found on orbit ct.
Roof of ethmoid sinus radiology.
The ethmoid roof is primarily formed by the fovea or fossa ethmoidalis an extension of the orbital plate of the frontal bone 4 6 10.
The bone plates of the two sides may be at different levels figure 1.
Depending on its anterior and or posterior location they can also include nasoethmoid and sphenoethmoid mucoceles.
The anterior middle and posterior ethmoidal air cells.
An ethmoid mucocele is a form of a paranasal sinus mucocele involving the ethmoid air cells.
The very thin horizontal cribriform plate lamina cribrosa of the ethmoid bone is bounded laterally by the vertical lateral lamella.
Our data contribute to the body of knowledge on the subject.
It is a very dangerous area with respect to surgical dissection 3 11.
Ethmoid mucoceles are considered the second most commonest in location 2.
The middle group are now incorporated into the anterior group.
Objective we evaluated the extent of asymmetry evident in paranasal sinus computed tomography ct scans of turkish patients without sinusitis in the ethmoid roof.
The lateral lamella joins the cribriform plate to the fovea ethmoidalis.
Materials and methods we retrospectively studied multiplanar reformatted ct images of the paranasal sinus 1 mm sections from 110 patients 50 male 60 female.
