Pneumosinus Dilatans FrontalisA Rare Anatomical Variation of Frontal Sinus
Journal Title: International Journal of Anatomy Radiology and Surgery - Year 2017, Vol 6, Issue 3
Abstract
Pneumosinus Dilatans Frontalis (PDF) is a rare malformation of the craniofacial skeleton, characterized by abnormal enlargement of frontal sinus beyond the normal dimension. PDF was observed during routine dissection of orbit in the 60-year-old male formalin fixed cadaver. Abnormal expansion of both frontal sinuses was observed which was extended upto the parietal bone. The sinus was multi-loculated with multiple septations inbetween. Both the sinuses were asymmetrical with the left frontal sinus being comparatively larger than the right one. So far very few cadaveric reports have been documented because Pneumosinus Dilatans (PD) is often unexpected radiological findings. Here we are presenting a case report of PDF.
