Combined Aplasia of Sphenoid, Frontal, and Maxillary Sinuses With Hypoplasia of The Ethmoid Sinus

which permits unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited. Paranasal sinuses are prone to a great diversity of anomalies. Aplasia of the frontal sinus is a relatively common phenomenon and may be accompanied with hypoplasia of the maxillary sinus, but combined aplasia or underde-velopment of the paranasal sinuses is unusual (1, 2)...

Anatomical variability of the frontal sinuses and their application in forensic identification.

The uniqueness of anatomical structures and their variations provides the basis for forensic identification of unknown deceased persons. Similar to fingerprints, each frontal sinus is so distinctive and unique that the chances of two individuals having the same morphology of the frontal sinuses is extremely remote. Radiographs, especially the occipitomental view commonly used in the assessment ...

Bioabsorbable steroid-releasing sinus implants in the frontal and maxillary sinuses: 2-year follow-up

BACKGROUND Mometasone furoate-releasing implants have been approved for use in the ethmoid sinuses following endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS) to reduce the need for medical and surgical intervention postoperatively. Outcomes have not yet been studied when these implants are utilized in other paranasal sinuses after ESS. OBJECTIVE To present a case in which bioabsorbable steroid-eluting implants...

Computed tomography measurements of different dimensions of maxillary and frontal sinuses

BACKGROUND We have previously proposed the use of Doppler ultrasound to non-invasively stage sinus infection, as we showed that acoustic streaming could be generated in nonpurulent sinus secretions and helped to distinguish it from mucopurulent sinus secretions. In order to continue this development of a clinically applicable Doppler equipment, we need to determine different dimensions of the p...
