Sphenoid Bone Pneumatisation on Lateral Cephalograms of Patients With Neurofibromatosis Type 1

Conclusion: The condition ‘NF1’ has an effect on sphenoid pneumatisation. The findings are relevant for planning surgical procedures in this region and confirm current concepts to evaluate NF1 as a histogenesis control gene. The examination technique and basis of calculation presented here are easy-to-use and low-irradiation exposure instruments for screening for differences in sphenoid bone pneumatisation in defined populations.
