Foreign Body Nasal Cavity of Dental Origin
The mental "roots" of a dental implant have perforated the hard palate and pierced into this inferior left nasal turbinate. The patient presented complaining of offensive smell and crusting...
Accessory Maxillary Sinus Ostium [small]
Accessory maxillary sinus ostia located in the anterior or posterior nasal fontanelle's are not infrequently seen in the middle meatus. A small accessory ostium is present in the anterior nasal fontanelle...
Natural Maxillary Sinus Ostium As Seen From Inside...
The natural ostium of the maxillary sinus is hidden behind the posterior and inferior portion of the uncinate process and cannot normally be seen during a routine diagnostic endoscopic examination. The...

Accessory Maxillary Sinus Ostium with the Recirculating...
Mucus may circulate back into a maxillary sinus via an accessory ostium as seen here. Note the thick white stream of mucus flowing down from the hiatus semilunaris and reentering this right maxillary...
Accessory Maxillary Sinus Ostium [CT scan]
The direct connection between the left maxillary sinus and the left middle meatus seen on this coronal CT scan is an accessory maxillary sinus ostium through the posterior fontanelle.
Accessory Maxillary Sinus Ostium [large]
A large accessory maxillary sinus ostium is present through the posterior fontanelle of this left side. Note the prominent nasal septal spur protruding into the middle meatus and abutting against the...
Normal Frontal Recess [left]
This is a view into a normal left frontal recess taken with a 30° telescope. To the right the lateral face of the middle turbinate is visible. The uncinate process is seen fading superiorly. Between44...
The Superior Meatus and Sphenoethmoidal Recess
The superior meatus lies lateral to the superior turbinate. This is a view into the superior meatus underneath a well developed right superior terminate. The ostia of the ethmoidal clefts and cell openings...
The Nasa Fontanelles
There are usually defects in the bony lateral wall of the nose located between the uncinate process and the inferior turbinate that in life are covered with a dense connective tissue that is a continuation...
