Abstract: The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence and morphological characteristics of the frontal sinus in an adult population. This study was conducted retrospectively on paranasal CT scans in the axial and coronal planes of 300 cases (123 male and 177 female). The mean age was 40.74 +/- 13.34 (range 20-83). Measurements of the width, height and anteroposterior length for each sinus and total width were obtained from CT scans. Measurements were compared statistically with relation to side and sex.

“…In a study evaluating 300 sinus CT examinations, Tatlisumak et al 6 found unilateral and bilateral frontal sinus absence in 1.33% and 0% of cases, respectively. The authors defined the presence of the frontal sinus as "any visible pneumatization."…”

“…Second feature is its relatively stable structure during adult life (Cox et al, 2009). But changes in the dimensions of the frontal sinus throughout the adult life were shown by the investigators (McLaughlin, et al, 2001;Tatlisumak et al, 2008). Therefore, writers of this text is suggesting that the radiographs not older than ten years are more reliable for the identification purposes.…”

“…The sinus invades the frontal bone by about 5 years of age and slowly grows to reach an adult size in late adolescence (Miller & Amedee, 1998). Whilst it is widely accepted that the development of the frontal sinus is complete by about 20 years of age and remains stable until further enlargement of the chambers can occur from bone resorption during the advanced ages (Yoshino et al, 1987;Quatrehomme et al, 1996;Kirk et al, 2002); Tatlisumak et al, reported that, the highest values of measurements of frontal sinus were at the 31-40 age group in both sexes and there were a tendency to decrease with aging (Tatlisumak et al, 2008). Also, McLaughlin et al, suggested that the frontal sinus continued to expand until the age of 40 years because of mechanical stresses of mastication and growth hormone levels (McLaughlin et al, 2001).…”

“…Studies have shown that left frontal sinus is larger compared to the right in both sexes [25,30]. These gender differences were demonstrated in a frontal sinus CT-scan 3D reconstruction study which possibly can predict sex with 72.5 % accuracy and suggested to be an important tool for sex determination in forensic medicine [22].…”
