“…The results of our current study also showed that the observed correlation for males was higher than that of females. This finding could possibly be explained by the fact that boys have greater skeletal measures, thicker soft tissues, and larger increments in nasal dimensions than girls . However, there is disagreement between these results and previous literature demonstrating that there are no sex differences in nasal soft and hard tissues dimensions and relations.…”

This study using three-dimensional cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) images of children determined relationships between nasal skeletal and soft tissue measurements and assessed the association with sex, age, and skeletal maturation stage. Following reliability studies, skeletal and soft tissue parameters were measured on coded CBCTs of 73 children (28M:45F;6-13 yoa). Pearson and Mantel correlations were used to analyze associations between skeletal and soft tissues. Partial Mantel correlations were used to study the associations between skeletal and soft tissue, adjusting for sex, age, and skeletal maturation. Linear regression analyses were used to predict soft tissues sizes. Logistic regression was used to study the relationships between soft and skeletal tissue symmetry. Except for nasal aperture width and interalar width, skeletal landmarks best predicted corresponding soft tissue landmarks. Significant positive associations existed between skeletal and soft tissues after adjusting for sex, skeletal maturation, and age. Children's nasal skeletal tissues predicted nasal soft tissue reasonably well.

“…A spherical air cavity was introduced in the phantom as this was found to be an important contributor to the

asymmetries observed in vivo . These asymmetric features were also observed in other studies at our institute and required an asymmetric and gender‐specific

correction method to take into account the typically larger nasal cavity in men . Although this was not the goal of the current phantom design, future developments toward a gender‐specific phantom may consider this aspect.…”

“…Distances were greater in male patients for most measurements, consistent with the larger mean nasal cavity dimensions typically seen in men. 15 The choanal arch and basal lamella are the most reliable landmarks, as evidenced by their small SDs, possibly due to their close proximity to the SPF. This indicates that the quickest initial way to estimate the location of the foramen in initial nasal endoscopy is to first identify the basal lamella and the arch of the choana.…”

Background:Transnasal endoscopic sphenopalatine artery ligation is becoming the procedure of choice for surgical management of intractable posterior epistaxis. Landmarks for localization of the sphenopalatine foramen can assist in rapid surgical exposure of the sphenopalatine artery.Objective:This study examined distances from easily identified endoscopic surgical landmarks to the sphenopalatine foramen.Methods:By using computed tomography of the sinus to study radiologic anatomy in 50 adults, distances were measured between five simple endoscopic landmarks and the sphenopalatine foramen. The two-tailed t-test was used for statistical analysis.Results:Right- and left-sided measurements were similar. The mean (standard deviation [SD]) anteroposterior distances to the sphenopalatine foramen were the following: from the maxillary line (36.7 ± 5.5 mm), anterior head of the middle turbinate (33.8 ± 6.7 mm), basal lamella (11.8 ± 1.9 mm), and choanal arch (−9.2 ± 1.4 mm). The mean (SD) distance in the vertical dimension from the nasal floor was 26.6 ± 2.6 mm. Female patients had statistically shorter distances to the sphenopalatine foramen from the maxillary line, anterior head of the middle turbinate, choanal arch, and nasal floor.Conclusion:Reliable endoscopic landmarks exist in relation to consistent anatomic structures and can be used to help quickly estimate the location of the sphenopalatine foramen at the onset of the procedure.

Changes in Nasal Cavity Dimensions in Children and Adults by Gender and Age

Abstract: The parameters of intranasal spaces depend on age and gender. The dynamics of the changes is greater in boys than in girls and usually the growth is completed by the age of 16. After this age, nasal cavities are bigger in men than in women.
