Clinical Anatomy of the Sphenoidal Sinus
Conference paper
Abstract
The sphenoidal sinus is an important space for surgical procedures. It is opened in inflammatory diseases of the paranasal sinuses, and the neurosurgeon passes through this sinus in order to reach the hypophyseal region. We report here some characteristics and new measurements of the sphenoidal sinus and hypophyseal region.
