Abstract

Objective: Transnasal sphenopalatine ganglion block is a commonly used approach for treatment of a variety of headache disorders. However, no standard technique has yet been defined for this less invasive approach. In this study, our aim was to investigate morphometric and anatomical features of the sphenopalatine foramen, and to describe a more efficient approach for transnasal sphenopalatine ganglion block. Method: The present study was designed retrospectively. Ten cadaver semi- heads and 18 adult dry skulls (28 samples totally) were included in the study. The distances between the sphenopalatine foramen and palatum durum, and also between the sphenopalatine foramen and the spina nasalis anterior, angle of elevation of the sphenopalatine foramen from palatum durum, and the length and width of the sphenopalatine foramen were measured. Results: The mean width and length of the foramen were 3.79±0.35 and 6.44±0.94 mm, respectively. The mean distance between the palatum durum and the sphenopalatine foramen was 15.58±1.68 mm. The mean angle of elevation of the sphenopalatine foramen from the palatum durum was 26.10±3.97 degrees. The mean distance between the sphenopalatine foramen and the anterior nasal spine was 52.90±2.98 mm. Conclusions: In the transnasal sphenopalatine block, we suggest advancement of nasal applicator through superolateral direction for approximately 5.3 cm, and at an angle of about 26° from the nasal base..

Özet

Amaç: Transnazal sfenopalatin gangliyon bloku, baş ağrısı hastalıklarının tedavisi için yaygın olarak kullanılan bir tedavi yöntemidir. Ancak bu noninvaziv teknik için henüz standart bir teknik tanımlanmamıştır. Bu çalışmada amacımız, sfenopalatin foramenlerin morfometrik ve anatomik özelliklerini araştırmak ve transnazal sfenopalatin gangliyon bloku için daha etkili bir yaklaşım ortaya koymaktır. Yöntem: Bu çalışma retrospektif olarak dizayn edilmiştir. Çalışmaya 10 adet yarım kadavra kafası ve 18 erişkin kuru kafatası olmak üzere toplam 28 örnek dahil edildi. Sfenopalatin foramen ve palatum durum arasındaki mesafe, sfenopalatin foramen ve spina nasalis anterior arasındaki mesafe, palatin durumundan sfenopalatin foramenlerin yükselme açısı ve sfenopalatin foramenlerin uzunluğu ve genişliği ölçüldü. Bulgular: Foramenlerin ortalama genişliği ve uzunluğu sırasıyla 3,79±0,35 ve 6,44±0,94 mm idi. Palatum durum ve sfenopalatin foramenler arasındaki ortalama mesafe 15,58±1,68, sfenopalatin foramenlerin palatum durumdan yükselme açısı ortalama 26,10°±3,97, sfenopalatin foramenlerin anterior nazal spinadan ortalama uzaklığı 52,90±2,98 mm idi. Sonuç: Transnazal sfenopalatin blok uygulamasında kullanılan nazal aplikatörün süpero-lateral yönde ortalama 5,3 cm, burun tabanından ortalanma 26° açı yapacak şekilde ilerletilerek uygulanmasını tavsiye ediyoruz.
