[Pneumatization of the petrous apex].
Pneumatization of the petrous apex was investigated in 226 subjects without middle ear disease by means of target imaging CT. The degree of pneumatization of all subjects was 32.7% (148/452 ears), but no difference in degree was revealed with distinction of bilateral ears or between sexes. In 148 ears with pneumatization of the petrous apex, a higher degree of pneumatization was found in larger...

متن کاملAspergillosis of the petrous apex.
We present the case of an immunocompetent man who presented with multiple and progressive cranial nerve palsies. The cause was found to be aspergillosis of the petrous bone, arising as a result of chronic fungal otitis media. Despite treatment with local excision and systemic anti-fungal therapy, he died after suffering a subarachnoid haemorrhage. Diagnosis rests upon prompt radiological imagin...
متن کاملThe maxillary recess of the sphenoid sinus.
The most studied recess of the sphenoid sinus seems to be the lateral one, which is highly variable. Less attention seems to be paid to the maxillary recess, extending anterior, inferior and lateral towards the maxillary sinus. Twenty patients were referred for CT of the paranasal sinuses (axial CT), during a 3-month period. After examining the morphology of the sphenoid sinuses, the authors fo...
