title: [The value of computer reconstruction of the frontal and sagittal planes of the facial structures].
abstract: The authors evaluate the merits of computer reconstructions in the coronal and sagittal planes to assess the anatomy of the facial structures. If the patient can be kept motionless, the coronal plane provides information similar to those obtained by a study with direct sections. The ethmoidofrontal recesses, the lamina cribrosa, the thin relief of the middle meatus, the floor of the orbit are perfectly examined. The sagittal plane provides a new approach of the anterior and posterior cortical bone, of the frontal sinus, of the nasofrontal canal, of the ethmoidal cells, of the sphenoid sinus and of the vault of the palate.
