Abstract
We were pleased to read the informative article by Rene et al.1 The authors refer to “Odoni cells” as, “aerated posterior ethmoid air cells along the optic canal.” Could it be that they meant to refer to the cells as “Onodi cells”? Onodi described a number of variations of posterior ethmoid anatomy.2 Endoscopic sinus surgeons refer to the pattern of extramural pneumatisation of the ethmoid lateral or superolateral to the sphenoid, where the posterior ethmoid is indented by the optic canal, as an Onodi cell.3 More recently it has been suggested that this cell is better characterised as a “sphenoethmoidal” cell.4
