Case description

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 medial surface of the maxillary ostium can be seen by maxillary sinoscopy. The star like secretion routes are outlined by traces of blood staining the mucus on its way towards the ostium.
