AGE-BASED COMPARATIVE STUDY OF SPHENOID SINUS MORPHOMETRY IN CHILDREN (1–18 YEARS OLD)

Abstract

The study presents a morphometric investigation of the sphenoid sinuses in children from the Bukhara region, taking into account age-related variations. Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) was used to obtain precise three-dimensional data on the size and shape of the sinuses. The paper examines the developmental features of the sphenoid sinuses at different stages of childhood, which improves the diagnostic and treatment planning processes for paranasal sinus diseases in pediatric patients. The results deepen the understanding of age-dependent anatomical variability and can be valuable for both clinical practice and scientific research.
