s/l hilar cells but is Haller cells

[Guest guest]

Oh, I just LOVE it when I can share something with the group! Being a

newbie that hardly ever happens :').

A week ago I needed help with a report I was doing - a CT of the sinuses.

I said that it sounded like he was saying " hilar cells " but I couldn't

document that anywhere. No one could say for sure what it was, so I

blanked it. It turned out to be Haller cells. Here's the definition

that Stedman's gives: :A variant of ethmoidal air cell developing into

the floor of the orbit adjacent to the natural ostium of the maxillary

sinus. A diseased Haller cell is capable of obstructing that ostium and

producing a maxillary sinusitis. "

Just thought everyone would like to know! And thanks again for trying to

help.
