title: [X-ray computed tomographic evaluation of the anterior ethmoid by parallel and perpendicular sections to the axis of nasofrontal duct. Preliminary study].
abstract: The anterior ethmoid is revisited with CT sections parallel and perpendicular to the axis of the naso-frontal duct. The sections obtained in these 2 planes allow a more precise topographic study of the anterior ethmoid than the routinely used axial and coronal CT slices. For the surgeon these sections provide an optimal preoperative study of the anterior ethmoid allowing the most conservative endoscopic surgical treatment.
