Pneumatization of crista galli in Pre-adult and Adult Stages

The sinonasal region in humans is one of the regions that commonly shows anatomical variations. These variations can be easily diagnosed by paranasal CT evaluation. One of these variations is Crista galli pneumatization. In recent years, there have been opinions supporting the hypothesis that pneuma...

According to these results, crista galli pneumatization was found to increase in adulthood.
