The radiological study of Ethmoidal infraorbital (Haller’s) cells among adult Sudanese Subjects
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2017, Vol 16, Issue 5
Abstract
Ethmoidal infraorbital (Haller’s) cells are extensions of ethmoidal air cells into the areas of the orbit and maxillary sinus. They are located on the maxillary sinus roof, near and above the ostium of maxillary sinus at the inferior wall of the orbit and lateral border of the infundibulum. Ethmoidal Infraorbital cells may be visualized by a variety of imaging methods that show a view of the maxillary sinus. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of ethmoidal infraorbital cell on CT scan in Sudanese population and to compare them statistically with available data worldwide. The study population involved 29 males (47.5%) and 32 females (52.5 %) with a mean age of 37 years. They were explored in the radio-diagnostic department of Ribat University Teaching Hospital, Khartoum- Sudan in the period from March to September 2015. Patients were scanned on slice collimation of 1mm thickness with slice thickness of 4 mm. CT scans were reviewed in axial, coronal, and sagittal planes in bony windows and reported the results in data sheet. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS, and compared with previous results on similar studies. Haller’s cells were present bilaterally in 7 cases (11.5%), unilaterally in 17 cases (27.8%) and were completely absent in 37 cases (60.7%). Determination of these variations aids in providing a better surgical orientation and avoiding or minimizing the possible complications.
