The purpose of this study is to evaluate the sphenoid sinus variations in patients with cleft lip/palate.
Sixty three (63) patient's cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) images, taken from the head and neck region, were evaluated. Images were divided into two groups; [Group 1; patients with cleft lip/palate (CLP Group) (n = 23) Group 2; patients without cleft lip/palate (control group) (n = 40)]. The main pneumatization types (conchal, sellar, and presellar) of sphenoid sinuses were assessed on sagittal sections of the CBCT images. The sphenoid body, lateral and lesserwing types were evaluated on coronal sections and anterior type pneumatization was evaluated on axial sections.
The mean age ranged from 12 to 26 (16.57 ± 4.46) in Group 1 and 12 to 25 (16.58 ± 3.71) in Group 2. In both groups, the male and female distribution was found similar (P = 0.342). The sellar type was the most common pneumatization type of sphenoid sinus both for the Group 1 (91.3%) and Group 2 (80%). Any statistically significant difference was not found between the two groups in terms of the incidence of pneumatization types. Combined type pneumatization was detected in 65.6% of the Control group and 76.2% of the CLP group.
In this study, the prevalence of sphenoid sinus pneumatization types in CLP patients was compared with the normal population. Any significant difference was not determined in the two groups.
本研究旨在评估唇腭裂患者蝶窦的变异情况。
对 63 例头颈部锥形束 CT（CBCT）图像进行评估。将图像分为两组；[组 1：唇腭裂患者（CLP 组）（n=23）；组 2：无唇腭裂患者（对照组）（n=40）]。在 CBCT 图像的矢状位上评估蝶窦的主要气化类型（耳房型、鞍型和前型）。在冠状位上评估蝶骨体、外侧和小翼类型，在轴位上评估前型气化。
组 1 的平均年龄为 12 至 26 岁（16.57±4.46），组 2 为 12 至 25 岁（16.58±3.71）。两组中，男女分布相似（P=0.342）。蝶窦气化类型中，最常见的是鞍型，无论是组 1（91.3%）还是组 2（80%）。两组之间，在气化类型的发生率方面，没有发现任何统计学上的显著差异。对照组的联合型气化发生率为 65.6%，CLP 组为 76.2%。
本研究比较了唇腭裂患者蝶窦气化类型的发生率与正常人群。两组之间没有确定显著差异。
