“…Banna and Olutola 14 in their study evaluating the sphenoid sinus of 70 adults, reported that 61% of the patients had a single septum, 14% had 2 septums, 12.8% had more than 2 septums, and 11.4% had no septa. Jaworek et al 15 in their study on paranasal sinus CT scans of 207 patients reported that 41% of the patients had a single septum, 33% had 2 septa, 22% had 3 septa, and 4% had 4 septa. In our study findings, there were no septa in the sphenoid sinus of 2 patients (0.7%).…”

“…The base of the pterygoid process is pierced by the pterygoid (Vidian) canal (Fig. 1), located just above and medially to the scaphoid fossa [1,2]. The pterygoid canal runs sagittally through the root of the pterygoid process and opens anteriorly into the pterygopalatine fossa [29][30][31].…”

“…The sphenoid bone, wedged between the frontal, temporal, occipital, and parietal bones, is an irregular, unpaired, and pneumatic (airfilled) bone within the neurocranium. It also articulates with the ethmoid bone, vomer, zygomatic, and palatine bones [1]. The sphenoid bone forms the central part of the cranial base (basicranium) and contributes to the formation of the anterior cranial fossa, the middle cranial fossa, the posterior cranial fossa, the orbit, the nasal cavity, the temporal fossa, the infratemporal fossa, and the pterygopalatine fossa.…”

“…Other relevant structures mostly pertain to the lateral wall of the sphenoid sinus and ethmoid including the cavernous sinus and all its enclosed structures (cranial nerves III, IV, VI, V 1 , and V 2 ) and the vidian nerve, as well as even the brain stem behind the clival part of the sphenoid bone. Anatomic variants of the paranasal sinuses and nasal cavity may be more common, and may even overlap leading to complicated structure and function [7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16].…”
