Case description
In the ethmoid bone, a sickle shaped projection, the uncinate process, projects posteroinferiorly from the medial surface of the ethmoid bone. Between the posterior edge of this process and the anterior surface of the ethmoid bulla, there is a two-dimensional space, resembling a crescent shape. This space continues laterally as a three-dimensional slit-like space - the ethmoidal infundibulum. This is bounded by the uncinate process, medially, the orbital lamina of ethmoid bone (lamina papyracea), laterally, and the ethmoidal bulla, posterosuperiorly. This is an endoscopic photograph of a normal uncinate process which can be seen arising from the right lateral nasal wall and extending postero-laterally behind the anterior end of the right middle turbinate.
