Rosenmuller Fossa'nın konik ışınlı bilgisayarlı tomografi ile değerlendirilmesi: Retrospektif bir radyo-anatomik çalışma

Year 2019, Volume: 6 Issue: 4, 195 - 199, 11.11.2019

Abstract



Amaç: Rosenmuller fossa (RF) lateral faringeal girinti olarak
bilinir, kafatasının altında ve torus tubarius'un arkasında
bilateral olarak bulunur. Nazofaringeal karsinoma en sık Rosenmuller
fossada gelişir. Bu çaşmanın amacı, Rosenmuller fossanın konik
ışınlı bilgisayar tomografi ile değerlendirilmesidir.



 



Gereç ve Yöntemler: Çaşmaya toplam 150 denek (80 kadın,
70 erkek, 6-88 yıl) dahil edildi. Denekler 6-20 y, 21-30 y, 31-



40 y, 41-50 y, 51-60 yaş ve 60 yaş üzeri olacak şekilde 6
yaş
grubuna ve cinsiyete göre ayrıldı.



 



Bulgular: Rosenmuller fossa tiplerinin rülme sıklıkları değerlendirildiğinde farklı yaş gruplarında istatistiksel olarak
anlam bir ilişki bulunmuştur (p <0.05) veya (p = 0.015).6-20
yaş
ve 21-30 yaş gruplarında RF tip 1 daha fazla rülürken, 41-
50 yaş ve 51-60 yaş gruplarında RF
tip 3 daha fazla rüldü.



 



Sonuç: Literatür incelendiğinde konik ışınlı bilgisayar tomografi ile
Rosenmuller fossanın değerlendirildiği çaşma bulunamamıştır. Klinik önemi düşünüldüğünde Rosenmuller fossa daha geniş popülasyonlarda araşrılma ve incelenmelidir.

Evaluation of Rosenmuller Fossa with cone beam computed tomography: A retrospective radio-anatomical study

Year 2019, Volume: 6 Issue: 4, 195 - 199, 11.11.2019

Abstract

Background: Rosenmuller fossa (RF) is known as a lateral pharyngeal
recess, is bilaterally located beneath the skull base and behind the
torus tubarius. Nasopharyngeal carcinoma
is most commonly located in the RF. The purpose of this study is to evaluation of RF with cone
beam computed tomography

 

Methods: A total of 150 subjects (80 females, 70 males, 6-88 years)
were included in the study. Subjects were divided into age groups (6-
20 years, 21-30 years, 31-40 years, 41-50 years, 51-60 years, over 60 years)
and
gender.

 

Result: There is no statistically significant difference between class (RF type) and gender (p = 0.086). There is a statistically significant
association between the categories of age group and class variables
(p =
0.015). RF type 1 was more common in the 6-20 age and 21-30
age
groups, whereas RF type 3 was more common in the 41-50 age and 51-60 age groups.

 

Conclusion: When the literature was investigated, it was not found a study evaluating RF with cone beam computed tomography. When considering clinical significance, RF should be searched and examined
in larger populations.
