✦ Synopsis

Abstract

The clinician must have a high level of suspicion in order to detect ethmoidal sinus disease. Survey plain film radiographic examination may provide information about gross changes in ethmoidal sinus transparency and the sinus walls. Conventional tomographic study will often aid evaluation of the ethmoidal sinus walls which may be obscured by overlying structures on plain films. Computerized tomography adds a new dimension to ethmoidal sinus study. By revealing not only bone changes but soft‐tissue abnormality as well, more complete understanding of the disease process is gained. Computerized tomography is particularly useful in evaluating orbital structural change due to ethmoidal sinus abnormality.

## Abstract This article describes the complex anatomy of the sphenoid bone. The development and size of the sphenoidal sinuses are quite variable and complete analysis of the sinus walls requires several views. The essential plain film projections and use of tomography and CT scans are described.

Mucoceles involving the sphenoidal sinus are not as common as those affecting the frontal and ethmoidal sinuses. The subtle expansile change produced by a sphenoidal sinus mucocele often requires conventional tomography or computed tomography examination to be detected. Similarly, involvement of su
