AB - This study aims to investigate the anatomical information of the sphenopalatine foramen with special reference to the
bleeding control of the sphenopalatine artery and to the blockage of the pterygopalatine ganglion during functional
endoscopic sinus surgery.
Forty-three midsagittal sectioned Korean heads were used in the study. The mucosa on the lateral nasal wall was
removed for showing the sphenopalatine foramen. The shapes of the sphenopalatine foramen were classified by 4 types.
Angle from the akanthion and distances from akanthion, conchae, sphenoidal sinus and greater palatine foramen were
measured.
The sphenopalatine foramen was frequently found as oval shape and bilateral symmetry of 28.6%. The vertical length
was 5.5 mm, the horizontal length was 5.3 mm. The most anterior point of the sphenopalatine foramen was located on
54.4 mm few and angles were between 15.9ခand 22.1ခfrom akanthion. The distances were 36.2 mm from anterior end
of middle nasal concha, 6.2 mm from posterior end of middle nasal concha, 27.2 mm from greater palatine foramen.
The uppermost point of the sphenopalatine foramen was located on 22.3 mm from the most superoanterior end of the
sphenoidal sinus, 18.6 mm from the lowermost end of the sphenoidal sinus.
This study could be useful to provide the confidence about the location of the sphenopalatine foramen during functional
endoscopic sinus surgery.
