Abstract
In the human beings there are four pairs of para-nasal sinuses. Among these sinuses, sphenoidal sinuses are the second largest. The sinuses play important role in the human beings. The relations of all the sinuses are very important. The coronal CT scan is used for my researches. The study is done in Nepalese population. All the data were collected from Manipal Teaching hospital, Pokhara, Nepal. This study shows Type 1- 60%, Type 2- 38% and Type 3- 3% in the right side. Whereas in the left side also Type 1- 68%, Type 2- 29% and Type 3- 3%. According to the range, Range 2 is having the maximum number of Type 1 sphenoidal sinus in right and left side. Over all the most common types of sphenoidal sinus is type-1 in both sides. When we compare with gender, in the both gender also type-1 is the most common. The aim of this study was to determine the different types of sphenoidal sinus and its clinical importance.
