Özet
Introduction and objectives: The wide range of variability of SS pneumatization and relation with surrounding structures can result in serious complications; seeing that, the assessment of regional anatomy is essential for both surgeons and radiologists. We mainly aim to reveal the possible correlation between the SS pneumatization types and protrusion/dehiscence of the adjacent neurovascular structures in a larger population by using computerized tomography (CT) images.
