Paranasal sinuses are named for the bones in which they are located: frontal (F), maxillary (M), sphenoidal (S), and ethmoidal air cells (E).

    GROSS ANATOMY ASSIGNMENT NAME: OLORUNFEMI PEACE TOLUWALASE MATRIC NO: 17/MHS01/257 DEPT: MBBS COURSE: GROSS ANATOMY OF HEAD AND NECK QUESTION 1 Write an essay on the carvernous sinus. The cavernous sinuses are one of several drainage pathways for the brain that sits in the middle. In addition to receiving venous drainage from the brain, it also receives tributaries from parts of the face. STRUCTURE ➢ The cavernous sinuses are 1 cm wide cavities that extend a distance of 2 cm from the most posterior aspect of the orbit to the petrous part of the temporal bone. ➢ They are bilaterally paired collections of venous plexuses that sit on either side of the sphenoid bone. ➢ Although they are not truly trabeculated cavities like the corpora cavernosa of the penis, the numerous plexuses, however, give the cavities their characteristic sponge-like appearance. ➢ The cavernous sinus is roofed by an inner layer of dura matter that continues with the diaphragma sellae that covers the superior part of the pituitary gland. The roof of the sinus also has several other attachments. ➢ Anteriorly, it attaches to the anterior and middle clinoid processes, posteriorly it attaches to the tentorium (at its attachment to the posterior clinoid process). Part of the periosteum of the greater wing of the sphenoid bone forms the floor of the sinus. ➢ The body of the sphenoid acts as the medial wall of the sinus while the lateral wall is formed from the visceral part of the dura mater. CONTENTS The cavernous sinus contains the internal carotid artery and several cranial nerves. Abducens nerve (CN VI) traverses the sinus lateral to the internal carotid artery.

  • Fossa of Rosenmüller Rosenmüller
    Quick Review: Fossa of pharyngeal recess or the fossa of Rosenmüller Rosenmüller. The nasopharynx is a fibromuscular sling suspended from the skull base. The human nasopharynx is mainly derived from the primitive pharynx. It represents the nasal portion of the pharynx behind the nasal cavity and above the free border of the soft palate. The nasopharynx communicates with the nasal cavities through posterior nasal apertures. The choanal orifices along with the posterior edge of the Saggital section of the postnasal space (L E Loh et al 1991) nasal septum form the anterior boundary of the nasopharynx. The The superior constrictor muscle does superior surface of the soft palate not reach the base of skull hence a constitutes its floor and lateral gap (sinus of Morgagni) is velopharyngeal isthum provides created.

Objective: To develop a checklist for the systematic identification of the paranasal sinuses and the skull base, based on 3D images that guide the planning and implementation of ESS to minimize complications and improve surgical outcomes. Methods: This study evaluates the usefulness of the “ABCDEF Checklist”, in a randomized study involving 30 otolaryngologists with more than 2 years of practical experience in ESS evaluating preoperative radiological examination and subsequent surgical performance in the sinus of 30 cadavers. Results: Differences between groups in identifying the essential anatomical references were significant in 9 of the 11 essential anatomical references for the Checklist Group Surgical procedures and surgical mistakes were performed systematically less often in the Checklist group but the differences did not reach significance after Bonferroni correction. Conclusions: The use of "ABCDEF Checklist" prior to ESS facilitates the identification of the essential anatomical references for the preoperative and systematized planning of the surgical procedures.

  • Approach to the Upper Airway in the Field
    Approach to the upper airway in the field Sophie H. Bogers, BVSc, MVSc, PhD, DACVS-LA Session Description: This session will provide a general overview of approaches to the diagnosis of upper airway conditions. The use of endoscopy, radiography and ultrasound to distinguish between commonly confused conditions will be discussed. The indications and techniques for field upper airway surgery including tracheostomy and sinus trephination will be discussed. Speaker Notes: 1. The diagnostic approach to the upper airway case often follows a similar pattern. The results of the history, physical examination and resting endoscopy will allow you to focus more on techniques specific to the sinus or nasal passages or the larynx and pharynx 2. Endoscopy helps you to pin-point what structures in the upper airway are affected. There are exceptions if you don’t have an endoscope e.g. for suspected dental sinusitis that causes foul smelling nasal discharge an oral examination can be done first and if no obvious occlusal abnormalities are seen then endoscopy can be performed after to confirm that the drainage is coming from the paranasal sinuses. a. The endoscopic examination should be thorough with assessment of all of the structures below: i. Larynx (make swallow several times – see EE/subepiglottic cyst/abduction of arytenoid maximal) 1. Assessment of larynx when not sedated (may sedate for remainder) ii. Trachea iii. Dorsal pharyngeal recess and pharynx iv. Guttural pouch 1 v. Ethmoid turbinates vi. Sinus drainage angle vii.
