Introduction: One of the aspects that have an influence on rhinosinusal endoscopic surgery is extrasinusal pneumatisation, which can also affect less common structures at this level. The pneumatization of crista galli is perfect example of this situation. The diagnosis is made only through imaging methods. Materials and Methods: This is a retrospective anatomo-radiological study analyzing 380 CT scans of head & neck regions and was performed over one year period. All patients with non- sinus pathology were included in this study. Out of total 380 cases, 210 patients were females and 170 males, aged between 18 and 72 years. Results: The total prevalence as well as genderwise prevalence of pneumatisation of crista galli was determined. Conclusions: Pneumatization of the crista galli process was recorded in 2.9% of the cases, and it was detected more in association with males.
