Özet
Background: The morphology of crista galli varies from one individual to another and
its structure may be pneumatized or compact bone. This study purposed to investigate
the morphometry of the crista galli (CG) on cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT)
scans and to apply morphological classification based on the characteristics of the CG
morphometry and to analysis the association of morphological and morphometric
features with sex.
Materials and methods: The width, length, and height of the CG were calculated on
the CBCT scans of 400 patients (233 females, 167 males). The CG was categorised into
three morphological types and the presence of the CG pneumatisation and the Keros
classification were examined.
Results: The average length of the CG was 12.93 ± 2.12 mm, the average width of CG
was 4.79 ± 1.54 mm, and the average height of CG was 16.21 ± 2.73. There was no
statistical difference between sex and both height and length values. The mean CG
width of female was found to be statistically significant higher than male. No statistically significant difference was determined between the morphological types of
CG and sex. For width only, the area under the receiver-operating characteristic curve
was found to be significantly higher than 0.5 and the cutoff value for the width
parameter was determined as 4 mm.
Conclusions: The morphologic and morphometric features of CG, present of
pneumatisation and relation the anatomy of olfactory region with CG can be analyzed in
detail using CBCT. The mean CG width of female was found significantly higher than
male. However, further studies with different populations and modality are needed to
evaluate the relationship between morphologic and morphometric features of CG and
sex.
