ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
To describe the relation of the sphenoid ridge (SR) with the surrounding anatomical structures in healthy children when approaching the anterior and middle fossae.METHODS:
Computed tomography of 180 pediatric patients (90 males / 90 females), aged 1-18 years were included the study. The size of the lesser wing (LW) and the distances of the LW to certain landmarks were measured.RESULTS:
The LW length was 28.48 ± 8.15 mm. The LW widths at the midline and the midpoint and lateral point of the SR were 7.78 ± 1.74 mm, 2.84 ± 0.81 mm, and 1.91 ± 0.64 mm, respectively. The distance between the midpoint of the SR and the crista galli was 28.22 ± 5.56 mm, and the distance between the crista alaris and internal auditory meatus was 51.73 ± 5.79 mm. The linear function was calculated as y = 18.748 + 1.024 × age for SR length, y = 6.046 + 0.182 × age for the midline width of SR, y = 2.367 + 0.050 × age for the midpoint width of SR, y = 1.249 + 0.069 × age for the crista alaris width, y = 21.727 + 0.683 × age for the distance between the SR midpoint and the crista galli, and y = 43.614 + 0.855 × age for the distance between the crista alaris and internal auditory meatus.CONCLUSION:
All measured parameters increased irregularly with advancing age. Furthermore, our regression equations representing the growth dynamics of SR may be used to estimate these parameters.
