A novel three-dimensional-printed paranasal sinus-skull base anatomical model.
A novel precision three-dimensional (3D)-printed paranasal sinus-skull base anatomical model was generated with a commercial grade desktop 3D printer. A specific page-turning pattern was employed in this model, to display the internal spatial structure of the paranasal sinus. ⋯ The 3D printed paranasal sinus-skull base model has 3D visual functions, which provides a novel tool for anatomical studies on paranasal sinus, resident training, pre-surgical education and surgical planning.
