Anterior Clinoid Process Pneumatization Classification in a Thai Population

A refined radiological classification system for anterior clinoid process (ACP) pneumatization based on a retrospective CT study of 400 ACPs from 200 Thai patients. The dataset includes prevalence data, eight morphological subtypes, and morphometric measurements, created by Wilairat Kankuan Kaewborisutsakul and last updated in April 2026.

Use Cases

• Training classification models for ACP pneumatization subtypes based on the eight-category system.
• Analyzing correlations between pneumatization patterns and patient demographics like sex.
• Supporting surgical risk assessment for procedures like anterior clinoidectomy based on prevalence and morphological data.
• Studying anatomical variations such as middle clinoid processes and interclinoid calcifications mentioned in the results.

Strengths

• Includes specific prevalence figures (30.8% of ACPs) and subtype frequencies (e.g., subtype 1 at 16%).
• Contains morphometric data with statistical comparisons (e.g., ACP base width and length by sex).
• Based on a defined sample of 400 ACPs from 200 patients.
• Released under a permissive CC-BY-4.0 license.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Data reflects a specific geographic (Thai) population bias inherent to the study.
