Background: Anterior ethmoidal artery is a very important artery particularly useful in frontal and ethmoid sinus surgery. Aims and objective: Identification of landmarks of AEA in the medial wall of orbit and in the lateral wall of olfactory fossae and its relationship with the presence of supraorbital cell. Methods: Retrospective study was performed in 145 direct coronal CT scan of paranasal sinus from January to November 2016. Results: Anterior ethmoidal foramen was present in almost all scan (98%). The AEA canal was present in 33% (49 scan). Supraorbital pneumatisation was present in 28% (41 scan).Conclusion: Anterior ethmoidal foramen was present in almost all coronal CT scan of PNS. There was strong relationship between presence of supraorbital cell and AEA canal appearance.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
