Reference role of middle turbinate axilla in lacrimal sac localization assisted by computed tomographic dacryocystography-reference value of middle turbinate in locating lacrimal sac
Abstract:Background
The middle turbinate axilla (MTA) has always been used as a stable anatomic landmark for endoscopic surgeons to locate the lacrimal sac on the lateral nasal wall. Yet, little is known about whether the lacrimal sac size will affect the positioning effect of MTA on lacrimal sac. The aim of this study was to investigate the regularity of lacrimal sac size and lacrimal sac localization through the reference position of the MTA on computed tomographic dacryocystography (CT-DCG) images.
