“…1,2 In addition to distressing orofacial pain and sinusitis, numerous pathologies and symptoms associated with this entity include nasal obstruction, impaired nasal breathing, headache, chronic cough and mucoceles. 2,3,[5][6][7][8] Haller's cells can also restrict access to the maxillary sinus or the anterior ethmoidal cells during endonasal procedures, making it imperative for the surgeon to be aware of such variations that may incline the patient to increased risk of intraoperative complications. 4,5 Infraorbital ethmoid cells have been described as well-defined, round, oval or teardrop-shaped radiolucencies (single or multiple), unilocular or multilocular with a smooth border which may or may not appear corticated, and are located medial to the infraorbital foramen according to a solitary panoramic radiographic study.…”

Objective: Haller's cells or infraorbital ethmoid cells refer to the ethmoidal pneumatization of the superior aspect of the maxillary sinus and floor of the orbit. The clinical importance of these entities initiated this study with an aim to determine the prevalence and characteristics of Haller's cells on panoramic radiographs. Methods: The study group comprised 600 healthy adults of both genders with an age range of 18-60 years. One panoramic radiograph for each of the patients was made and interpreted for the presence of Haller's cells. The data collected were subjected to statistical analysis: frequencies/percentages, descriptive statistics, x 2 test and cross-tabulation (contingency table analysis) to obtain the results. Results: Haller's cells were noted in 96 patients, accounting for a prevalence of 16%. Of these patients, 77.1% were unilateral while 22.9% were bilateral. Among 96 cases, a total of 204 cells were found. The majority of the cells were round or ovoid in shape. The unilocular type of Haller's cells occurring unilaterally was statistically significant. Conclusion: This study has attempted to explore the characteristics of Haller's cells on panoramic radiographs. A description of Haller's cells on these radiographs may prove vital in enumerating the differential diagnosis for patients afflicted with intractable orofacial pain and reduce the risk of untoward intraoperative complications during endonasal procedures.

“…In general, the incidence of middle turbinate pneumatization in children has been reported to be 5-10% [2,3,6], and pneumatization is thought not to be a causative factor of narrowing of the OMC. In our present study, as well, middle turbinate pneumatization was detected in nine (4.6%) nasal cavities of 95 examined patients, and there was a tendency for most of those cases to be in teenagers.…”

“…On the other hand, there have been no reports regarding investigation of the incidence of middle turbinate pneumatization and its relationship with chronic paranasal sinusitis in children. It has been reported that the overall incidence of middle turbinate pneumatization in children is 5-19%, which is lower compared with in adults [2][3][4]. However, the pathology of paranasal sinusitis in children differs from that in adults: it is characterized by repeated cycles of improvement and aggravation of the acute or subacute inflammation, and morphologically, as well, the paranasal sinus is in the developmental stage.…”

“…Chronic sinusitis (lasting Ͼ3 months) involves symptoms that include nasal obstruction, nasal discharge, halitosis, and headache [16]. Although some authors report a high incidence of incidental sinus opacification in children [17], those data may be biased by different interpretations of mucosal thickening and by the true health condition of the population included in such studies [18]. Tatli et al [18] found a 52% prevalence of moderate to severe opacification of the paranasal sinus on computed tomography (CT) in children with chronic cough, with 90% involvement of the maxillary sinuses.…”
