The present study aims to compare ethmoid, sphenoid and maxillary sinus volumes of patients with maxillary deficiency requiring Le Fort osteotomy with healthy patients, by employing computed tomography imaging. No accessible information could be found on this subject during literature search. The authors believe anatomical knowledge of these structures in patients with maxillary deficiency will influence all branches performing surgeries in these areas.

Ethmoid sinus volumes
Timeframe: All measurements were taken twice by the same observers. The observers performed the study twice with an interval of 2 weeks to detect intra-observer variability.
Sphenoid sinus volumes
Timeframe: All measurements were taken twice by the same observers. The observers performed the study twice with an interval of 2 weeks to detect intra-observer variability.
Maxillary sinus volumes
Timeframe: All measurements were taken twice by the same observers. The observers performed the study twice with an interval of 2 weeks to detect intra-observer variability.
