Abstract:
HTML
The purpose of this CD-Rom is to provide a thorough knowledge of the normal anatomy of the nose and paranasal sinuses, as well as of the multiple normal variants of the region, as seen at CT. The CD-Rom is aimed at radiologists and otorhinolaryngologists who want to become familiar with the intricated anatomy of the region. The viewer is guided progressively and interactively through the different anatomic regions. Using computer-animated images (axial, coronal, and sagittal CT reconstructions) and schematic drawings, the concept of the mucocilliary drainage and its pathways (ostiomeatal unit, frontal recess, spenoethmoidal recess) is explained. Pertinent anatomic surgical landmarks, as well as anatomic variants that may predispose to dysfonction or obstruction of mucocilliary clearance are presented in detail. Examples of a variety of anatomic variants are shown on CT images, such as concha bullosa, variants of the uncinate process, Haller cells, Ager nasi cells, forms of the ethmoid roof, etc. The viewer learns to identify key anatomic areas, features and variants that may pose serious risks during sinus surgery, such as intraspenoidal course of the optic nerve and internal carotid artery
- Learn the normal anatomy and variants of the nose and paranasal sinuses - Learn pertinent anatomic surgical landmarks and anatomic variants that may predispose to dysfontion of mucocilliary clearance and pose serious risks during endoscopic sinus surgery.
