Evaluation of olfactory fossa anatomy by computed tomography and the place of Keros classification in functional endoscopic sinus surgery
Emrah Karatay
Abstract
Objective: Functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) is a frequently used treatment method, and it is important to know the anatomy of the paranasal sinuses, olfactory fossa and adjacent anatomical structures during surgery. Paranasal sinus computed tomography (CT) is a frequently used imaging method in the evaluation of the paranasal sinuses, nasal cavity and nasopharynx. Our study aims to determine Keros types and their incidence by retrospectively evaluating the depth of the olfactory fossa in our population according to the Keros classification on paranasal sinus CT images.
