To detect the dependence of the dimensions of maxillar and frontal paranasal sinuses on the age, sex, and the skull type in population inhabiting Karelya, 1566 maxillar sinuses and 1404 frontal sinuses were studied in radiographs of practically healthy subjects aged 3-85 years. The correlation between age, sex, dimensions of maxillar and frontal sinuses, and the skull type was established that is revealed in that the latitudinal dimensions of the sinuses prevail in brachiomorphous skull type, while the altitude dimensions are prevalent in dolichomorphous type regardless the sex and age. Total dimensions of maxillar sinuses are larger in dolichomorphous skull type: in males that is especially pronounced for maxillar sinuses, while in females--for frontal sinuses. |
