ResumoPurpose: In order to numerically compare the morphological differences of the nasal cavity and nasal sinus between acromegalics and non-acromegalics, bone window CT scans sliced parallel to the transsphenoidal surgical route were performed.Material and cases: Acromegalic patients had small or large macroadenomas and were 13 (7 men and 6 women) in number, aged 53.2+/-16.1 years.Non-acromegalic patients had pituitary tumors and were 44 (21 men and 23 women) in number, aged 52.1 +/-12.5 years.Results The results of acromegalics are described in comparison to non-acromegalics in parentheses.a) The width of the surgical corridor: piriform aperture, 27.6+ /-2.7 (25.9+ /-2.6) mm; origin o f inferior nasal concha, 29.4+ / -9.4 (26.6+ / -4.0) mm; and origin of middle nasal concha, 29.8+/-3.2(26.2 mm + / -4.2) mm.b) The depth of the surgical corridor: the upper lip thickness, 18. 1 + / -2.7 (13.3 + / -1.4) mm; the distances between pirif orm aperture and sphenoid wall, 52.9+ / -4.6
