Anatomical study of the sphenopalatine foramen

Anatomical study of the sphenopalatine foramen Summary

Mapping surgical coordinates of the sphenopalatine foramen: surgical navigation study.

OBJECTIVES To identify measurements that may help intra-operative localisation of the sphenopalatine foramen. DESIGN The study used three-dimensional surgical navigation software to study radiological anatomy, in order to define the distances and angulations between identifiable bony landmarks and the sphenopalatine foramen. RESULTS The distance from the anterior nasal spine to the sphenopa...

Sphenopalatinum Foramen: An Anatomical Study

Introduction: The position of the sphenopalatine artery is essential for the endoscopic treatment of severe posterior epistaxis. This artery passes through its own foramen, which has a wide range of locations and anatomic relations. Objective: To carry out a descriptive osteological study on the sphenopalatine foramen area. Its anatomy, size, position and relations with turbinates and choanae a...
