Height and Shape of the Skull Base as Risk Factors for Skull Base Penetration During Endoscopic Sinus Surgery
|
Objectives: Computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging have identified several risk factors for life-threatening complications of skull base penetration during endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS). We compared these risk factors between groups of patients with and without penetration.
Methods: We performed a retrospective review of direct coronal paranasal sinus CT scans. Using preoperative CT scans of 100 patients without and 7 patients with penetration, we classified height in...
