摘要

Objective

The work aimed to reveal differences in the position of the foramen ovale (FO) relative to the lateral pterygoid plate (LPP) in children.

Methods

Computed tomography images of 360 children (180 males and 180 females) aged 9.52 ± 5.17 years (range: 1–18 years) were included in the work. The position of FO relative to LPP were classified as four types (lateral, medial, direct and removed/far types).

Results

The position of FO relative to LPP was identified as lateral type in 245 sides (34%), medial type in 95 sides (13.2%), direct type in 253 sides (35.2%), and removed/far type in 127 sides (17.6%). The dispersion ratios of FO location types showed that FO localization was not associated with sex (p = 0.952), side (p = 0.899), and pediatric age periods (p = 0.794).

Conclusions

Incidence of FO location types in children appear to be consistent with adult literature rates. The positional relationship of FO with LPP in children is not related to sex, side and age. A surgeon wishing to place a needle into FO can gain relatively comfortable access to the opening by tracing LPP’s base posteriorly, in approximately 80% of pediatric patients; thus, percutaneous procedure can be successfully applied to selected children regardless of age, sex and side.
