Temporal bone pneumatization in cystic fibrosis: a correlation with genotype?
Whereas paranasal sinus pneumatization in CF patients seems to be related to CF genotype among other influencing factors, this study showed no correlation between TBP and CF genotype. TBP was not correlated to paranasal sinus volume. Hypothetically, in CF, pneumatization of the temporal bone is under a different influence than paranasal sinus pneumatization.
Bone measures dropped overall during pregnancy, but were significantly higher in tennis players versus controls at 12 weeks and through gestation.
