Abstract: To measure the imaging anatomical data of the apertura of sphenoidal sinuses and their surrounding structure and to provide clinical guidance for surgeons. Methods30 adults with a normal sphenoidal sinus were subjected to lamella CT scanning of rhino-sinuses. Axial and frontal reconstructions were performed. The apertura of sphenoidal sinuses and their surrounding structures were measured. ResultsThe maximal vertical longitude of sphenoidal sinuses was (2.28±0.52)mm and the maximal horizontal longitude was (2.06±0.32)mm. Distance between the apertura of the sphenoidal sinus and the anterior naris was (72.34±3.67)mm， the maximal distances between the apertura and hanging wall, posterior wall, inferior wall and lateral wall of the sphenoidal sinus were (10.64±3.99), (17.68±2.78), (13.25±3.50) and (8.76±3.79)mm, respectively. ConclusionsThe apertura of the sphenoidal sinus is the vital anatomic landmark for per-sphenoidal operations, and it should be intero-inferiorly oriented not exceeding 10.64±3.99mm upwards and 8.76±3.79mm laterally.
