Case description

While the normal uncinate process lies posteriorly parallel to the lateral nasal wall, there are several variations in this anatomical orientation. In this patient, the right uncinate process is medially rotated to such an extent that it is lying at right angles to the long axis of the nasal cavity. The medial end of the uncinate process is in direct contact with the lateral surface of the right middle turbinate. Courtesy of Professor Heinz Stammberger, University of Graz, Austria..
