BACKGROUND: Recent literature highlights anomalous cranial nerves in the sinonasal region, notably in the sphenoid and maxillary sinuses, linked to anatomical factors. However, data on the suspended infraorbital canal (IOC) variant is scarce in cross-sectional imaging. Anatomical variations in the sphenoid sinuses, including optic, maxillary, and vidian nerves, raise interest among specialists involved in advanced sinonasal procedures. The infraorbital nerve's (ION) course along the orbital floor and its abnormal positioning within the orbital and maxillary sinus region pose risks of iatrogenic complications...
