The present study aimed to define the location of the anterior ethmoidal artery in relation to specific anatomical landmarks using radiological imaging and endoscopic dissection.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>Eighty-six anterior ethmoidal arteries were assessed using computed tomography scans (bilateral analyses) and forty anterior ethmoidal arteries were assessed using cadaveric specimens (bilateral analyses). The skull base, anterior nasal spine, anterior axilla of the middle turbinate, and nasal axilla were morphometrically analysed to determine their reliability as anterior ethmoidal artery landmarks.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>Distances to the skull base, anterior nasal spine, and nasal axilla displayed statistically significant differences between sexes and sides (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.05).
