    Waters

    Area of Science:

    • Radiology
    • Anatomy

    Background:

    • Waters' view radiography of the maxillary sinus can be obscured by superimposed structures.
    • Lateral sphenoidal sinus extensions and posterior ethmoidal cells frequently overlap the maxillary sinus.
    • Accurate interpretation of maxillary sinus radiolucency is crucial for diagnosis.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To identify superimposed structures on Waters' view of the maxillary sinus.
    • To determine the extent of maxillary sinus area occupied by these superimposed structures.
    • To define an optimal region for evaluating maxillary sinus radiolucency.

    Main Methods:

    • Planimetric evaluation of the maxillary sinus and superimposed structures.
    • Identification of superimposed lateral sphenoidal sinus extensions and posterior ethmoidal cells.

  • Analysis of anatomical landmarks for defining the central evaluation zone.

    • Main Results:

    • Superimposed sphenoidal and ethmoidal sinuses occupy approximately one-third of the maxillary sinus area.
    • The medial portion of the maxillary sinus is most affected by these superimposed structures.
    • An optimal evaluation zone was identified at the intersection of lines related to the inferior orbital canal and foramen rotundum.

    Conclusions:

    • Radiolucency interpretation of the maxillary sinus using Waters' view requires avoiding superimposed areas.
    • The central portion of the maxillary sinus, defined by specific anatomical landmarks, is the most reliable area for evaluation.
    • Accurate assessment of maxillary sinus pathology can be improved by considering these superimposed structures and recommended evaluation zones.
