INCIDENCE OF CONGENITAL APLASIA AND HYPOPLASIA OF FRONTAL PARANASAL AIR SINUS AMONGEST THE POPULATION OF WESTERN UP REGION
Keywords:
Frontal Sinus, Aplasia/Hypoplasia, Development, Prevalence, Intraoperative and Post-Operative Complications
Abstract
Introduction: The frontal air sinuses are a pair of air containing hollow spaces situated within the frontal bone measuring 28 mm (L), 24mm (W), 20mm (AP) on an average as quoted by Grey’s anatomy. The size and anatomic relations of the sinus depend upon the extent of pneumatization of the frontal bone. A considerable reduction or total absence of pneumatization results in hypoplasia/ aplasia of the frontal sinus.
Aim: To investigate the prevalence of aplasia/ hypoplasia of the frontal sinus in a population of western UP because the frontal sinus is very vulnerable during surgical procedures of the skull due to its close relationship with orbit and anterior skull base.
Material and Methods: The study was carried on randomly selected PA cephalograms of 150 adult humans, attending the radiology dept. of SMH GZB some private hospitals situated in Ghaziabad. The frontal sinuses on both sides were studied for their presence or absence in the xray.
Results: 44 out of 150 cases showed aplasia/ hypoplasia of frontal sinus on x-ray; with cases of only aplasia in 31.81% cases; only hypoplasia in 50% cases and cases of one side aplasia with other sided hypoplasia in 18.18% of cases.
Discussion: The entity “APLASIA OF FRONTAL PARANASAL AIR SINUS” has been found as early as 1943. It is found to be in a very high percentage in all Eskimos.Genetic factor and cold climate are said to be closely associated with this conditions besides primary congenital anomalies and secondary pathological conditions.Variations in the anatomy of frontal sinuses are critical 1. for neurosurgeons while performing pterional or supraorbital craniotomy to avoid risks of intraoperative &postoperative complications and improve success of post-operative management strategies 2. For morphological and forensic investigations.
