• Remember to send the whole specimen (including any
parts of the specimen within the debrider trap) for
histology. Although the chance of malignant transformation of a papilloma is minimal, the probability of a
synchronous malignant tumor is not insignificant.

Introduction
Anterior and posterior ethmoidal arteries (AEA and PEA)
are branches of the ophthalmic artery, which traverses
within the orbit from the internal carotid artery (Fig. 7.1).
The ethmoidal arteries pass between the oblique and medial rectus muscles heading to the roof of the ethmoidal
sinus through the ethmoidal foramina traversing the lamina papyracea (Figs. 7.2–7.4). The arteries run along the
ethmoidal roof from lateral to medial, giving branches to
supply the turbinates, the septum, and terminal branches
intracranially (Fig. 7.5). The most superior part of the basal
lamella of the bulla ethmoidalis is the landmark to find the
AEA because in most cases it is located behind its anterior
wall. The computed tomography (CT) landmarks to find
the AEA are the corticated break in the anterior lamina papyracea between the oblique and medial rectus muscles
just behind the globe. The PEA crosses the ethmoid roof
through a canal located anteriorly to the superior attachment of the anterior wall of the sphenoid sinus. Depending on the pneumatization, the bulging of the bony canal
at the ethmoid roof is more evident for the anterior than
for the PEA. The CT landmarks to find the posterior artery
are more difficult to define except for a corticated sulcus
in the skull base where the artery leaves the orbit. The
knowledge of these arteries is crucial for endonasal procedures, such as endoscopic sinus surgery, endoscopic skull
base surgery, orbit decompression, and epistaxis, bearing
always in mind that the damage to them can produce a catastrophic orbital retrobulbar hemorrhage.

7.1 Indications to Expose the
Ethmoidal Arteries
• In severe epistaxis not controlled by the ligature of the
sphenopalatine artery, the AEA can be an additional
source of bleeding and has to be localized.
• Trauma with fracture of the nasofrontal complex or the
skull base can produce bleeding of the ethmoidal arteries that may need to be coagulated or ligated.
• The first step to approach an anterior skull base menin-
gioma is to dissect and to coagulate both arteries bilaterally by bipolar diathermy, to improve bleeding control.
• The AEA can be useful as a landmark to find the fron-
tal recess, but the variation in its location and bulging
on the ethmoid roof is not always safe. Thus, the basal
lamella of the ethmoidal bulla is a better landmark.
• The PEA can be a good landmark to find the optic nerve
knowing that the distance between both is approximately 6 mm.
• The anterior meningeal artery, branch of the anterior
ethmoid artery, and the first olfactory fiber can be useful as landmarks to know the posterior limit of skull
base exposure to perform the Draf III procedure.
• Both arteries need to be identified as anterior and pos-
terior limits for endoscopic orbital decompression.
• Visualization of the ethmoidal arteries is important to
avoid retrobulbar hemorrhage in endoscopic transnasal approaches in the treatment of medial and inferior
orbital lesions.

7.2 Surgical Steps
After a gentle medialization of the middle turbinate, the
uncinate process is identified and removed from its superior insertion to its horizontal aspect. The basal lamella of the bulla ethmoidales is then opened and removed
(Fig. 7.6). The AEA will be found behind the insertion
of the basal lamella (Fig. 7.7), which corresponds to the
anterior wall of the ethmoidal bulla and not behind the
frontal recess. The artery crosses the ethmoidal roof, taking an oblique route from the posteromedial break in the
lamina papyracea to the lateral lamella of the cribriform

plate (Fig. 7.8). Depending on the pneumatization of the
ethmoidal roof, the artery can be more or less evident;
it can even have a mesentery suspended from the skull
base. There is the possibility of a dehiscence inferiorly
(Fig. 7.8). In very few cases, the artery may be found anterior to the basal lamella (Fig. 7.9).
The PEA enters the ethmoid roof from the orbit through
the posterior ethmoidal canal embedded in the skull base
and is thus less identifiable in the CT scan or during the
dissection (Figs. 7.10–7.12).
The next step is to open and remove the basal lamella
of the middle turbinate and, following the slope of the

skull base, to identify the anterior wall of the sphenoid
sinus. The PEA crosses the ethmoidal roof in front of this
wall (Figs. 7.13–7.15). The identification of the sulcus of
the artery may be used as a landmark to localize the optic
canal. The distance between the artery and the nerve is
about 6 mm (Figs. 7.16 and 7.17). In case the pneumatization has originated a sphenoethmoidal cell (formerly
known as Onodi cell), there is no wall between the PEA
and the optic canal, but it can be also useful as landmark
in this anatomic variation.
After the identification of both arteries, they can
be dissected following their intraorbital course to the

ophthalmic artery. The orbital fat must be removed to
clearly distinguish the relationship between the arteries
and the superior oblique muscle and medial rectus muscle
(Figs. 7.18–7.21). There are variations in the number and
situation of the arteries: they can be absent in one or both
sides, or a middle ethmoidal artery (a so-called “tertia”)
can be found in around 30% (Fig. 7.22).

Through-cutting forceps, Kuhn-Bolger probes, and
curved curettes are recommended as the best instruments for this approach. In special cases, it can be useful
to employ a diamond burr to thin the skull base when a
PEA is embedded in thick bone.

7.3 Case Example
A 34-year-old man was involved in a car accident and
arrived to our ENT department with bleeding from right
nasal cavity. Anterior rhinoscopy and nasal endoscopy
revealed active hemorrhage, but the exact site of bleeding could not be localized. We performed an anterior
nasal packing, but the epistaxis was not controlled. A

CT scan confirmed a bilateral nasal bone fracture. We
decided to perform a sphenopalatine artery and AEA
ligation because of the history of nasal trauma. During
the endoscopic surgery, we confirmed an anterosuperior
bleeding from an injury of some anterior ethmoidal
branches (Fig. 7.23).
The nasal cavity was packed for 24 hours without
intraoperative and postoperative complications. The
patient did not have any further bleeding during the
follow-up.

7.4 Complications
The bleeding of the ethmoidal arteries can be controlled by bipolar diathermy, but the complete transection can produce a retraction of the artery into the orbit
with an intraorbital bleeding, hematoma, and the rise
of intraorbitary pressure with a subsequent visual loss
due to compression and elongation of the optic nerve.
An orbital decompression (lateral canthotomy with
inferior cantholysis or an endoscopic decompression) is

mandatory. The AEA is more exposed to injury than the
posterior artery.
7–12
The course of the AEA and the lateral lamella of the
cribriform plate are the thinnest part of the ethmoid
roof, and the possibility of a breach in the skull base and
subsequent cerebrospinal fluid leak is high in this area.
The direct injury to the optic nerve in case the posterior ethmoid artery is not localized intraoperatively is
also a possibility, particularly if a sphenoethmoidal cell
is present.

7.5 Tips and Tricks
• Gentle removal of the basal lamella of the bulla ethmoid-
alis by through-cutting forceps helps to find the superior
attachment and to localize, right behind it, the AEA.
• In rare cases, the ethmoid bulla may not be pneuma-
tized or presents a thick bony anterior wall; care must
be taken to avoid entering the orbit.
• 45-degree lens improves the vision of the anterior skull
base and the AEA.
• 0-degree lens is recommended for the localization of
the posterior ethmoid artery.
• The frontal recess and the suprabullar recess may be
helpful to find the AEA.
• The AEA is not recommended as a landmark to find the
frontal sinus outflow tract due to the variations in its
localization.
• It is not recommended to use the microdebrider on the
skull base near the ethmoidal arteries due to the risk of
being severed.
• The opening of the basal lamellas of the bulla ethmoid-
alis and the middle turbinate and the anterior wall of
the sphenoid sinus must be done on the most inferior
and medial aspect to avoid injuries to the orbit, optic
nerve, or internal carotid artery.
• The distance between the AEA and posterior is approx-
imately 12 mm and between the PEA and the optic
canal is approximately 6 mm.
