    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.

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.

    Human Anatomy

    Human Anatomy د.فراس عبد الرحمن Lec.3 The Nasal region The Nose The nose consists of the external nose and the nasal cavity, both of which are divided by a septum into right and left halves. External Nose The external nose has two elliptical orifices called the nostrils, which are separated from each other by the nasal septum (Fig. 1). The lateral margin, the ala nasi, is rounded and mobile. The framework of the external nose is made up above by the nasal bones, the frontal processes of the maxillae, and the nasal part of the frontal bone. Below, the framework is formed of plates of hyaline cartilage (Fig. 1). Nerve Supply of the External Nose The external nose is supplied by the infratrochlear and external nasal branches of the ophthalmic nerve (CN V), and the infraorbital branch of the maxillary nerve (CN V). Blood Supply and Venous Drainage of the External Nose The skin of the external nose is supplied by branches of the ophthalmic and the maxillary arteries. The skin of the ala and the lower part of the septum are supplied by branches from the facial artery. Venous blood from the external nose drains mostly into the facial vein via the angular and lateral nasal veins. Nasal Cavity The nasal cavity extends from the nostrils in front to the posterior nasal apertures or choanae behind, where the nose opens into the nasopharynx. The nasal vestibule is the area of the nasal cavity lying just inside the nostril (Fig. 2). The nasal cavity is divided into right and left halves by the nasal septum (Fig.

    Recurring Patterns of Inflammatory Sinonasal Disease Demonstrated on Screening Sinus CT

    Recurring Patterns of Inflammatory Sinonasal Disease Demonstrated on Screening Sinus CT 1 2 1 Robert W . Babbel, H. Ric Harnsberger, 1.3 Jerry Sonkens, and Steven Hunt Purpose: In order to define specific features on screening sinus CT (SSCT) that will aid the endoscopic surgeon in his approach to patients with inflammatory sinonasal disease, we sought to answer four questions: 1) what recurring patterns of inflammatory sinonasal disease are evident on SSCT; 2) what is the relative frequency of these recurring patterns; 3) how do these CT patterns correlate with the known sinus mucociliary drainage routes; and 4) what are the characteristic radiologic features of each pattern? Methods: We reviewed the clinical and radiologic records of 500 consecutive patients who underwent SSCT as a prelude to possible functional endoscopic sinus surgery. Results: Five recurring radiologic patterns of sinonasal inflammatory disease were identified: 1) infundibular (129/500 or 26% ), 2) ostiomeatal unit (126/ 500 or 25 %) 3) sphenoeth­ moidal recess (32/500 or 6%), 4) sinonasal polyposis (49/ 500 or 10%), and 5) sporadic (unclas­ sifiable) (121/500 or 24%) patterns. Normal SSCT was seen in 133/ 500 patients (27 %). Conclu­ sion: Identification of specific patterns of sinonasal disease permits grouping of patients into nonsurgical (normal CT), routine (infundibular, ostiomeatal unit, and most sporadic patterns) and complex (sinonasal polyposis and sphenoethmoidal recess patterns) surgical groups. Assignment of patients to radiologic patterns allows a tailored surgical approach.
