Sphenoid-ethmoidal Recess

The sphenoethmoidal recess (SCR) is an anatomical structure in the skull that is a depression between the sphenoid and ethmoid bones. This recess has the shape of a triangle, the apex of which is directed downward and the base is directed upward.

KRU is essential for the functioning of the body. It contains many blood vessels, nerves and lymph nodes that provide nutrition and protection to the organs of the head and neck. In addition, the KRU is a place where mucous secretions from the nose accumulate, which are then excreted through the nasal cavity.

The sphenoethmoidal recesses can be susceptible to various diseases, such as sinusitis, sinusitis, frontal sinusitis and other infectious diseases. Treatment for these conditions may require surgery, such as a puncture or sinus drainage.

It is important to remember that the CR is an important anatomical structure and its disruption can lead to serious health consequences. Therefore, it is necessary to monitor your health and consult a doctor if symptoms of diseases associated with CRU appear.



The sphenoid ethmoid recess is formed at the intersection of two bone structures - the sphenoid and the ethmoid. It is a hole ranging in size from 2.5 mm to 3.5 cm. The recess is located directly between two bone structures: the lattice and the sphenoid bone. The recess itself
