Paranasal sinuses Late 19th century Emil Zukerkandl published
first detailed anatomic & pathologic description of PNS. “Father of modern sinus anatomy”.
Related to the regional anatomy of cranio-oro-facial region.
Varies from person to person and even side to side
“All but sphenoids develop from invagination from lateral nasal wall”
![Page 15: Endoscopic Anatomy of Nose and PNS Final](https://reader037.vdocuments.site/reader037/viewer/2022102411/546fe4b2b4af9f79038b457d/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)

Paranasal sinuses Air-filled pockets within the cranium which
communicate with the nasal cavity & lined with the same type of ciliated mucous membrane
Anterior Group: Frontal Maxillary Anterior ethmoid
Posterior Group: Posterior ethmoid Sphenoid
![Page 16: Endoscopic Anatomy of Nose and PNS Final](https://reader037.vdocuments.site/reader037/viewer/2022102411/546fe4b2b4af9f79038b457d/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)

Frontal sinus Pyramidal shaped air
cells Can be considered as
an ant ethmoidal air cell
Rudimentary at birth,first becomes distinct at 6-8 yrs.
Continuing pneumatisationinto the frontal bone formsthe frontal sinus
![Page 17: Endoscopic Anatomy of Nose and PNS Final](https://reader037.vdocuments.site/reader037/viewer/2022102411/546fe4b2b4af9f79038b457d/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)

Fully developed b/w 12 & 14 yrs in female and 16-18 yrs male
Separated by bony septum, develop independently and asymmetry between them is rule than exception.
Frontal recess-superior ascending part of first primary furrow
The roots of the confusing anatomy in the area of frontal recess (frontonasal duct) go back all the way to its embryonic development

Ethmoid sinus Complex group of small cells(3-14) located
within the Ethmoid bone At birth Ethmoid sinus fluid filled During primary pneumatisation ethmoids
develop from dimple like depression on nasal mucosa. Deepen and become air cells
Other structures i.e turbinates/uncinate/ bulla are medial extension from lat nasal wall.

Complex anatomy & intersubject variation
For simplification divided into series of parallel lamella First: Uncinate Second: Ethmoid bulla Third: Basal/Ground lamella

Turbinate The lamellae are relatively
constant features between human subjects, making intraoperative recognition important

roof of post choana Often hidden by view of sup turbinate Ostium shows variations in size and shape, being
circular, oval and sometimes pinpoint. Below the ostia is the mesh of bld vs forming the
Woodruff’s plexus. Septal br of sphenopalatine artery runs across the ant wall of sphenoid.

Uncinate importance Risk of entering orbit due to proximity
to lamina papyracea Its medial end is strategical located
near the OMC Dynamics are such that any abnormal
growth or excess pneumatization of uncinate can narrow the outflow of sinuses

Nasal fontanelles Area on the lateral nasal wall above the IT
in which no bone exists Max sinus & Middle meatus separated only
by fibrous periosteum The anterior fontanelle is inferior and
anterior to the uncinate process (inferolateral edge)
the posterior fontanelle is superior and posterior

Applied aspects Damage to NLD in excessive ant widening
Ant extenision may damage branches of ant superior alveolar nerve (Branch of Infraorbital nerve)…altered dental sensation
If antrostomy extended too posterior inf meatal branch of sphenopalatine artrey is encountered
Main ostia of max sinus is very close to roof of max sinus so care to be taken in middle meatus antrostomy to avoid damage to roof of max sinus, possible penetration into orbit

Haller cells Infraorbital

Adhere to roof of maxillary sinus forming the lat wall of infundibulum

Agger nasi cells Ant most ant ethmoid air cells First prominent anatomical landmark
encountered in FESS Location: ant sup to insertion of ant 1/3 of MT
and ant to uncinate (sagittaly) Endoscopically seen as a ridge, prominence or
mound on lat wall Boundaries : ant- frontal process of maxilla
post- ethmoidal infundibulum sup- frontal recess and sinus inf med- uncinate process lat- nasal and lachrymal bones

70
Surgical significance When prominent hides view of uncinate
endoscopically Can encroach and fill entire frontal recess
which is medial to it and hence obstruct the frontal sinus
Incomplete removal common cause of surgical failure
If pneumatised removal can cause injury to lacrimal apparatus.

71
Lamina papyracea Lateral wall of ethmoid labyrinth Smooth, papery thin bone with dehiscences Cone shaped, wide ant and narrow post Provides attachment to ground lamella of MT Endoscopically identified as a medial bulge on
pressing the orbital contents which return to normal with release of pressure
Radiologically delineated best on coronal and axial cuts
Yellow coloured

72
Surgical importance Faster spread of infection into orbit from
ethmoids Voilation of lamina alone with intact periorbita
rarely causes serious complications Can get damaged during
Uncinectomy Widening of ostium Removal of bulla Dissection of post ethmoid complex
![Page 73: Endoscopic Anatomy of Nose and PNS Final](https://reader037.vdocuments.site/reader037/viewer/2022102411/546fe4b2b4af9f79038b457d/html5/thumbnails/73.jpg)
73
Ground lamella Forms the distinction between the ant and post gp of
sinuses It is constant, complete, best developed and strongest of
the lamellas formed by mid 1/3 of MT Ant 1/3 of MT is entirely vertical, inserts directly into skull
base Mid 1/3,line of insertion changes sharply inferiorly (free
vertical segment seen in frontal plane) Post 1/3 of MT ground lamella turns sharply towards
horizontal forming roof of post 1/3 of MT The pattern of insertion contributes to stability

Anatomic variations Free vertical segment can be oriented

Cells of post ethmoids can bulge it anteriorly.

Roof of ethmoid Also termed fovea ethmoidalis Domes of top most ethmoid cells bulge into
it Ant part higher than post, sloping from ant
to post at 15 degrees Med wall in sup part formed by frontal bone
and inf part by lamina cribrosa Ant ethmoidal artery pierces the lat lamella
of lamina cribrosa

Surgical importance Ant ethmoidal artery
intimately related Identification
endoscopically: follow ant surface of
Ethmoid bulla in direction of roof
If bulla extends to roof,seen adjacent to this point 1-2 mm posteriorly
If not may be seenin lateral sinus

79
Posterior ethmoid cells Ground lamella forms
the partition between ant and post ethmoid air cells
Located post and sup to ground lamella
No of cells vary b/w 1 and more than 5
Drain into the sup or supreme meati
Of great importance to sinus surgeons as they can develop lat and sup to sphenoid sinus
![Page 80: Endoscopic Anatomy of Nose and PNS Final](https://reader037.vdocuments.site/reader037/viewer/2022102411/546fe4b2b4af9f79038b457d/html5/thumbnails/80.jpg)
80
Surgical importance Most vulnerable point-jn of rostrum with roof of
post ethmoid (can be mistaken for sphenoid –entry into cranium)
Dissection in the posterior Ethmoids could result in trauma to the optic nerve which is adjacent
Precaution while entering sphenoid inferomedial approach in posterior ethmoid safest way for sphenoid is to extend from
sphenoethmoid recess Lamina papyracea forming lateral wall may show
dehiscence , orbital content may prolapse
![Page 81: Endoscopic Anatomy of Nose and PNS Final](https://reader037.vdocuments.site/reader037/viewer/2022102411/546fe4b2b4af9f79038b457d/html5/thumbnails/81.jpg)
81
Onodi’s cell ONODI cells( Sphenoethmoidal cell) the most
posterior ethmoid cell, could extend posteriorly along the lamina Papyracea into the anterior wall of the sphenoid sinus.
Incidence-9-12% In presence of Onodi’s cell optic nerve and med
rectus ms lie in close relation with lat wall of these cells- vulnerable to injury during surgery

88
Applied aspect Considering complexities of frontal recess serial
CT scans required to know the exact anatomy Infections from frontal sinus can spread
through its thin posterior wall resulting into extradural abscess.
Extensively pneumatised agger nasi can be mistaken for the frontal recess or sinus. If opened and mistaken for a frontal sinus, the residual posteriosuperior wall of the agger nasi cell can scar and iatrogenic stenosis of the frontonasal connection can occur
![Page 89: Endoscopic Anatomy of Nose and PNS Final](https://reader037.vdocuments.site/reader037/viewer/2022102411/546fe4b2b4af9f79038b457d/html5/thumbnails/89.jpg)

Anatomic variations Variations in course of ICA in relation
to sphenoid sinus Result in different pattern of bulge in

Applied aspect Optic nerve extend backwards and disappears
towards post wall. ICA adjacent during passage through cavernous
sinus May not have a resistant bony covering
25% ICA partially dehiscent 6% dehiscent optic nerve
Maxillary nerve(V2) may also be seen on lateral wall as a bulge, may even be surrounded by pneumatisation
Canal for vidian nerve may bulge on floor of sphenoid sinus
