“…The right MS is larger than the left from our findings. This has a similarity with a past report [9] but different from another report that noted left MS to be larger than the right [30,40].…”

“…With regards to MS dimensions, this study showed significant difference between the ethnic groups with the Igbos having smaller dimensions. However, the dimensions in the Igbos are close to the values reported in Osun and Sokoto states of Nigeria [35,40]. The values of the Ogonis are similar to that reported in the Indian population [16].…”

“…The differences in the values of the sinuses between population from South East and those of South South Nigeria reported in this study, is in line with earlier reports that demonstrated significant differences in some body morphometry of individuals from different regions of the country. For example, MS dimensions of different populations of Nigeria as well as other countries have been reported with varying values derived from CT scan [6,[20][21][22].…”

Background: Radiological identification is important in clinical, surgical and forensic medicine particularly in the absence of comparative deoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA) samples and fingerprints. Aim is to establish the morphometry of frontal sinus (FS), maxillary sinus (MS) and bizygomatic distance (BZD) and their relationship with age and gender in Igbos and Ogonis of Nigeria using computed tomography (CT). Methods: Head CT scans of 625 subjects (477 Igbos and 148 Ogonis) between 18 and 85 years, showing normal FS, MS and BZD, were measured using DICOM viewer software. The Igbos and Ogonis were 247 males and 230 females; 84 males and 64 females respectively. The height, width and depth of the sinuses, intermaxillary sinus distances (IMD) and BZD were measured in centimeters (cm). The data were analyzed using SPSS version 20 and difference between groups was obtained using one way ANOVA. P-value less than 0.05 was considered as statistically significant. Results: Mean values for the right and left MS volume for the Igbos are 13.79 ±10.91 and 13.81±11.03 and for the Ogonis 20.84±5.83 and 20.19±5.59 cm respectively. All FS dimensions are higher in the Igbos (P<0.001) except right FS depth. Mean IMD are 3.64±0.50 and 3.39±0.45 cm in the Igbos and Ogonis respectively (P<0.001). Ogonis have higher BZD (P>0.05). In both groups, males had larger values in both FS depth, MS dimensions and BZD (P<0.001). Age correlated positively with left FS height and IMD. Prevalence of unilateral FS aplasia was 3.35% on the right and 1.47% on the left among the Igbos while the Ogonis have 2.03% on the right and 2.70% on the left. Bilateral FS aplasia was 2.94% among the Igbos but not observed among the Ogonis. Conclusion: Normative values is established. Ethnic differences exists with Igbos significantly having higher values of FS and IMD while in the Ogonis, the MS dimensions are higher. These findings would act as a guide for facial reconstructive surgeries, forensic experts and classification of fossil remains in anthropology.

“…The only exceptions were Uchida et al, 1998 [22], and Andrianakis et al, 2020 [23], who made silicone models of the sphenoid sinuses from cadaver heads, which they then used to measure the volume. Four techniques were used within imaging methods: computed tomography (CT) [6,[11][12][13]15,19,20,[24][25][26][27][30][31][32]34,36,39,40,43,45,[47][48][49][50][51], cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) [7,28,29,33,35,37,38,46], chemically developed radiographs [41,44], and digitized chemically developed radiographs [42].…”

“…Most authors who studied the maxillary sinus concluded that it begins its development from birth until the maximum peak of growth, from which it begins to decrease in volume with age [12,20,24,25,27,29,30,32,35,37,39,40,43,45,46,[48][49][50]. In contrast, Jasso-Ramirez et al, 2022 [11], and de Barros et al, 2022 [28], concluded that maxillary sinus volume increases with age.…”

Background: There are four pairs of paranasal sinuses: maxillary, ethmoidal, frontal, and sphenoidal. It is common to see changes in size and shape throughout life, so understanding the effect of age on sinus volume can help in radiographic studies and in planning dental and surgical procedures in the sinus–nasal region. The aim of the present systematic review was to perform a qualitative synthesis of available studies which assess the volumetric characteristics of the sinuses and their changes according to age. Materials and Methods: The present review followed PRISMA 2020 guidelines. A systematic advanced electronic search was performed in five databases (Medline (via PubMed), Scopus, Embase, Cochrane, and Lilacs) in June–July 2022. Studies that assessed the volumetric changes of paranasal sinuses with age were eligible for inclusion. A qualitative synthesis of the methodology and results of the included studies was performed. Quality assessment was performed using the NIH quality assessment tool. Results: A total of 38 studies were included in the qualitative synthesis. Most authors who studied the maxillary and ethmoidal sinuses concluded that it begins its development from birth until the maximum peak of growth, from which it begins to decrease in volume with age. Results regarding the volumetric changes of the frontal and sphenoidal sinuses are mixed. Conclusions: Based on the results of the studies included in the present review, it can be concluded that the volume of the maxillary and ethmoidal sinus appears to decrease with age. Conclusions on the volumetric changes of the sphenoidal and frontal sinuses require further evidence.

Context: Literature sums up numerous advantages of volumetric evaluation of maxillary and frontal sinuses in the field of pathology and forensic sciences. However, studies involving paediatric age groups are scarce. Aims and Objectives: To evaluate the volumes of maxillary and frontal sinuses in children aged 9–14 years of age and establish a correlation, if any, between the volumes and the age and sex of the children. Settings and Design: A retrospective study. Materials and Methods: Volumetric measurements of the maxillary and frontal sinuses were conducted on CBCT scans of 30 children aged 9-14 years, divided into three groups, those aged 9–10 years in group A, 11-12 years in group B, and 13-14 years in group C. Statistical Analysis Used: One way ANOVA test to compare the sinus volumes within the groups and unpaired t-test to compare the difference in the volumes in males and females as well as between right and left maxillary sinuses were used. Results: The mean values of the volumes of the right and left maxillary, total maxillary, and frontal sinuses in Group A were 8.4940±1.1966 cm3, 8.3774±1.2047 cm3, 16.8714±2.1212 cm3, and 2.1903±0.8870 cm3; in Group B were 8.7553±0.9067 cm3, 8.3937±1.1461 cm3, 17.1490±1.5732 cm3, and 3.0469±1.5907 cm3; and in Group C were 11.9895±2.230 cm3, 12.6164±1.6797 cm3, 24.6059±4.38536 cm3, and 7.6546±1.7763 cm3, respectively. The difference in the values among all three age groups was statistically significant (p < 0.001). However, there was no significant difference in the values between males and females or between the right and left maxillary sinuses. Conclusion: The study provides volumetric data of maxillary and frontal sinuses in paediatric age groups and proposes a correlation of the volumes with the age of the children.
