Sphenoid Sinus Pneumatization Types and Correlation with Adjacent Neurovascular Structures Using Cone-Beam Computed Tomography.

ABSTRACT: Aims: This study aimed to assess the sphenoid sinus pneumatization types and their correlation with adjacent neurovascular structures using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). Materials and methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on 97 CBCT scans of patients over 18 years of age that were retrieved from the archives of the Oral & Maxillofacial Radiology Department of School of Dentistry. Type of sphenoid sinus pneumatization based on its relationship with sella turcica (conchal, presellar, sellar, and postsellar), the correlation of internal carotid artery (ICA) and optic nerve (ON) with the sinus cavity in the axial and coronal planes (smooth or prolonged type), and presence of Onodi cells and their correlation with the sphenoid sinus (lateral, superior, and supe
