    基于U-HRCT的嗅区影像解剖特征分析

    Radiological Anatomy of the Olfactory Region Based on Ultra-high-resolution Computed Tomography: A Pilot Study

    • 摘要: 目的:基于U-HRCT分析嗅区的解剖学特征及其临床意义,探讨该影像学技术在嗅区评估中的临床应用价值。方法:回顾性分析2026年3月5月于首都医科大学附属北京朝阳医院放射科行U- HRCT检查的59例患者的影像资料,其中男性27例,女性32例,年龄16~69岁。基于U-HRCT图像观察并分析患者嗅窝、嗅裂的解剖特征。结果:嗅窝深度范围为0.80−10.06(5.06±1.74)mm,无性别及左右侧别差异;Keros I、II、III型嗅窝分别占比 24.58%、60.17%和15.25%;38.98%患者存在双侧嗅窝解剖结构不对称。嗅裂深度范围为15.5~38.8(26.78±3.99)mm;嗅裂中区宽度(3.26±1.02 mm)显著窄于前区(4.39±1.30 mm)与后区(4.59±1.87 mm)(均P<0.001)。相关性分析显示,嗅裂前区评分与中鼻甲气化显著相关(P=0.044),嗅裂后区评分与上鼻甲气化显著相关(P=0.008);嗅裂阻塞组与无阻塞组对比,前区中鼻甲气化、后区上鼻甲气化组间差异存在统计学意义(P值分别为0.020和0.004)。结论:U-HRCT可清晰显示嗅区结构,客观评估嗅窝、嗅裂解剖变异及鼻甲气化对嗅裂的影响,可为嗅觉障碍病因分析、术前风险评估提供可靠的影像学参考依据。

       

      Abstract: Objective: To analyze the anatomical features of the olfactory region and their clinical significance using ultrahigh-resolution computed tomography (U-HRCT). Methods: The imaging data of 59 patients (27 males, 32 females; aged 16–69 years) who underwent U-HRCT at the Department of Radiology, Beijing Chaoyang Hospital, Capital Medical University, between March and May 2026 were retrospectively reviewed. Through the U-HRCT images, the anatomical characteristics of the olfactory fossa, olfactory cleft, and adjacent structures were observed and analyzed. Results: Olfactory fossa depth ranged from 0.80 to 10.06 mm (mean, 5.06±1.74 mm), with no significant differences by sex or side. Keros types I, II, and III olfactory fossae accounted for 24.58%, 60.17%, and 15.25%, respectively, and 38.98% of patients presented with bilateral asymmetry in olfactory fossa anatomy. Olfactory cleft depth ranged 15.5–38.8 mm (mean, 26.78±3.99 mm). The width of the middle olfactory cleft (3.26±1.02 mm) was significantly narrower than that of the anterior (4.39±1.30 mm) and posterior (4.59±1.87 mm) regions (both P < 0.001). Correlation analysis revealed that the anterior olfactory cleft score was significantly correlated with the middle turbinate concha bullosa (P=0.044) and the posterior olfactory cleft score was significantly correlated with the superior turbinate concha bullosa (P=0.008). Comparing the obstructed and non-obstructed olfactory cleft groups revealed significant differences in the middle turbinate concha bullosa in the anterior region and the superior turbinate concha bullosa in the posterior region (P=0.020, 0.004). Conclusion: U-HRCT can clearly depict the fine anatomical structures of the olfactory region and objectively evaluate anatomical variations of the olfactory fossa and cleft, as well as the impact of the concha bullosa on the cleft structure. These findings provide reliable imaging references for the etiological analysis of olfactory dysfunction and preoperative risk assessment in sinus and anterior skull base surgeries.
