- Abstract
Objective: The aim of the study is to evaluate the presence and frequency of sphenoid sinus hypoplasia and agenesis by using cone-beam computed tomography. Methods: The cone-beam computed tomography images of our clinic taken between December 2015-January 2018 were retrospectively scanned, and the images where the field of view involved the sphenoid sinus were included in the study. The images of 250 patients including 131 females and 119 males between the ages of 18-86 were included in the study. Results: Right sphenoid sinus hypoplasia was seen in 17 patients (6.8%) and left sphenoid sinus hypoplasia was seen in 17 patients (6.8%). Sphenoid sinus agenesis was detected in 2 patients (0.8%). No statistically significant relationship was found between sphenoid sinus hypoplasia and agenesis, and gender. Conclusion: Three-dimensional evaluation of the variations of the sphenoid sinus is important for transnasal - transsphenoidal hypophysectomy operations. In this regard, the use of computed tomography and cone beam computed tomography is recommended.
