It only shows one of the lateral walls of the nasal cavity-those things are the turbinates, and under those are some entrances to some of the sinuses, particularly the maxillary sinus and frontal sinus.
32.
For persistent symptoms and disease in patients who have failed medical and the functional endoscopic approaches, older techniques can be used to address the inflammation of the maxillary sinus, such as the Caldwell-Luc radical antrostomy.
33.
Below the bulla ethmoidalis and hidden by the uncinate process of the ethmoid is the opening of the maxillary sinus ( ostium maxillare ); an accessory opening is frequently present above the posterior part of the inferior nasal concha.
34.
The surgical procedures include the operation of diseased ethmoid compartments ( usually ethmoidal bulla ), widening of stenotic clefts ( uncinate process ) and freeing of prechambers ( agar nasi cells ) to the frontal and maxillary sinuses from disease.
35.
The anterior border is thin and irregular; opposite the conchal crest is a pointed, projecting lamina, the maxillary process, which is directed forward, and closes in the lower and back part of the opening of the maxillary sinus.
36.
This surgery involves an incision in the upper gum, opening in the anterior wall of the antrum, removal of the entire diseased maxillary sinus mucosa and drainage is allowed into middle meatus by creating a large window in the lateral nasal wall.
37.
A curved lamina, the uncinate process, projects downward and backward from this part of the labyrinth; it forms a small part of the medial wall of the maxillary sinus, and articulates with the ethmoidal process of the inferior nasal concha.
38.
About the bullet that entered the left maxillary sinus, a cavity next to the side of the nose, swerved down and to the right, plowing into the back of the jawbone and breaking into fragments that lodged in the bony portion of his left ear.
39.
Most common complications are infection, penetration of the sinus ( where pulling a tooth makes a hole between the maxillary sinus and the mouth-if that happens you go back in and they sew it closed ), and ( quite rarely ) a broken jawbone.
40.
Ethmoiditis refers to an infection in the ethmoid sinus cavity / ies, frontal sinusitis refers to an infection occurring in the frontal sinus cavity / ies, antritis is used to refer to an infection in the maxillary sinus cavity / ies whilst spenoiditis refers to an infection in the sphenoid sinus cavity / ies.
