“…Sphenoid sinus continues to develop during puberty and reaches adult size by 12 age (Wiebracth & Zimmer). It is bordered at the many serious structures like cavernous sinus laterally, the eithmoidal air cells, anterior cranial fossa and optic nerve anteriorly, the clivus posteriorly, the hypophysis fossa and planum sphenoidale superiorly, choana inferiorly, internal carotid artery medially (Mamatha et al;Seddinghi et al, 2014;Sevinc et al;Farımaz et al, 2018). Sphenoid sinus shows difference in size, shape and degree of pneumatization (Yamashita et al, 2014).…”

The aim of this study was to identify sphenoid sinus dimensions; and distance between columella nasal and sphenoid sinus; and columella nasal and hypophysis in healthy adult subjects using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and to evaluate differences between genders and age groups. The MRI results of 300 healthy subjects (192 females; 108 males) aged 18-68 years were studied. The midsagittal and axial images were used for shape of the sphenoid sinus, and the distance measurements of its related adjacent structures on MRI. The mean values of the distance between columella nasal; and columella nasal and hypophysis; and sinus sphenoidalis width were 65.73±5.22 mm, 87.05±4.79 mm and 37.67±8.40 mm in females respectively, whereas the same values were 71.79±5.06 mm, 94.52±6.07 mm and 41.95±9.32 mm in males, respectively. The means of all measurements were lower in healthy female subjects than in healthy males.Additionally, the classification of sphenoid sinus types were determined to be postsellar type (131), sellar type (46), presellar type (14) and conchal type (1) in females, respectively. The same measurement were determined as postsellar type (82), sellar type (23) and presellar type (3) in males, respectively. Differences between sexes and age related changes were observed in the variations of the size, location and shape of sphenoid sinus were observed The observations presented in this report have defined anatomic parameters that need to be taken into consideration for reference data to determine gender discrepancies, age related changes and helpful for radiologists and clinicians to plan safe surgical approach and avoid surgical risks.

“…Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) has proven its superiority to other imaging techniques in offering a more accurate appreciation of lesion margins and invasion of adjacent structures [24]. Using native and contrast-enhanced spin-echo sequences with fat suppression, MRI examination can determine vascular invasion more accurately compared to CT, and can also provide more detailed vascular morphometry measurements [9]; additionally, MRI and can reveal lesions smaller than 5 mm, while CT usually depicts lesions larger than 8 mm [31]. The typical MRI aspect of CP is given by the presence of multiple punctiform or serpentine shaped intralesional foci with signal void.…”

Background: Presentation of case reviews depicting the imaging characteristics of carotid paragangliomas, associated with a thorough analysis of the anatomical morphological features and the current therapeutic strategies. Methods: We present the cases of three patients diagnosed with carotid paragangliomas in our clinic, illustrating diagnostic imaging elements by computer tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), but also the postoperative aspect of the carotid system, with respective anatomical, clinical and surgical considerations. Results: The imaging aspect of the carotid paragangliomas is characterized by a mass of soft tissue with intense contrast enhancement and with "salt and pepper" MRI appearance on conventional spin-echo sequences. The postoperative evolution of the patients included in the article was favorable, without any perioperative complications or signs of local tumor recurrence. Conclusions: Carotid paragangliomas are rare, often asymptomatic tumors, but with potential for increased malignancy, which raises the need for good knowledge of the cervical region pathology as well as the features of neuroendocrine tumors. CT and MRI examinations are essential for diagnosis, staging and, implicitly, for establishing the therapeutic strategy.
