PTERYGOPALATINE FOSSA
The pterygopalatine fossa is a small pyramidal space inferior to the apex of the orbit.
It lies between sphenoid posteriorly and the posterior aspect of the maxilla anteriorly.

NASAL CAVITIES
![Page 13: Dr. SREEKANTH THOTA DEPARTMENT OF ANATOMY Nose. The pterygopalatine fossa is a small pyramidal space inferior to the apex of the orbit. It lies between](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081515/56649cfe5503460f949ce299/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
NASAL CAVITIES
The two nasal cavities are the uppermost parts of the respiratory tract and contain the olfactory receptors.
The anterior apertures of the nasal cavities are the nares, which open onto the inferior surface of the nose.
The posterior apertures are the choanae, which open into the nasopharynx.

WALLS OF THE NASAL CAVITY
Each half of the nasal cavity has a floor, a roof, a lateral wall, and a medial or septal wall.

ROOF
The roof is narrow and is formed anteriorly beneath the bridge of the nose by the nasal and frontal bones, in the middle by the cribriform plate of the ethmoid, located beneath the anterior cranial fossa, and posteriorly by the downward sloping body of the sphenoid
![Page 20: Dr. SREEKANTH THOTA DEPARTMENT OF ANATOMY Nose. The pterygopalatine fossa is a small pyramidal space inferior to the apex of the orbit. It lies between](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081515/56649cfe5503460f949ce299/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)

LATERAL WALL
The lateral wall has three projections of bone called the superior, middle, and inferior nasal conchae .
The space below each concha is called a meatus.
![Page 22: Dr. SREEKANTH THOTA DEPARTMENT OF ANATOMY Nose. The pterygopalatine fossa is a small pyramidal space inferior to the apex of the orbit. It lies between](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081515/56649cfe5503460f949ce299/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)

MEDIAL WALL
The medial wall is formed by the nasal septum. The upper part is formed by the vertical plate of the ethmoid and the vomer.
The anterior part is formed by the septal cartilage.
The septum rarely lies in the midline, thus increasing the size of one half of the nasal cavity and decreasing the size of the other.

ETHMOID BONE
The single ethmoid bone is one of the most complex bones in the skull.
It contributes to the roof, lateral wall, and medial wall of both nasal cavities, and contains the ethmoidal cells (ethmoidal sinuses).
![Page 27: Dr. SREEKANTH THOTA DEPARTMENT OF ANATOMY Nose. The pterygopalatine fossa is a small pyramidal space inferior to the apex of the orbit. It lies between](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081515/56649cfe5503460f949ce299/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)

PARANASAL SINUSES
There are four paranasal air sinuses-the ethmoidal cells, and the sphenoidal, maxillary, and frontal sinuses.
Each is named according to the bone in which it is found.

SINUSITIS
Because the paranasal sinuses are continuous with the nasal cavities through apertures that open into them, infection may spread from the nasal cavities, producing inflammation and swelling of the mucosa of the sinuses (sinusitis) and local pain.
Sometimes several sinuses are inflamed (pansinusitis), and the swelling of the mucosa may block one or more openings of the sinuses into the nasal cavities.

INFECTION OF THE ETHMOIDAL CELLS
Severe infections from this source may cause blindness because some posterior ethmoidal cells lie close to the optic canal, which gives passage to the optic nerve and ophthalmic artery.

INFECTION OF THE MAXILLARY SINUSES
The maxillary sinuses are the most commonly infected, probably because their ostia are commonly small and are located high on their superomedial walls.
When the mucous membrane of the sinus is congested, the maxillary ostia are often obstructed. Because of the high location of the ostia, when the head is erect it is impossible for the sinuses to drain until they are full.

INFECTION OF THE MAXILLARY SINUSES

RELATIONSHIP OF THE TEETH TO THE MAXILLARY SINUS
The close proximity of the three maxillary molar teeth to the floor of the maxillary sinus poses potentially serious problems.
During removal of a molar tooth, a fracture of a root may occur. If proper retrieval methods are not used, a piece of the root may be driven superiorly into the maxillary sinus.
A communication may be created between the oral cavity and the maxillary sinus as a result, and an infection may occur.

SPHENOIDAL SINUSES
Because only thin shelves of bone separate the sphenoidal sinuses from the nasal cavities below and hypophyseal fossa above, the pituitary gland can be surgically approached through the roof of the nasal cavities by passing first through the anteroinferior aspect of the sphenoid bone and into the sphenoidal sinuses and then through the top of the sphenoid bone into the hypophyseal fossa.

ARTERIES
1. Sphenopalatine artery 2. Anterior and posterior ethmoidal
arteries 3. Greater palatine artery 4. The superior labial artery and the
lateral nasal artery originate from the facial artery on the front of the face.

EPISTAXIS
Epistaxis (nosebleed) is relatively common because of the rich blood supply to the nasal mucosa.
In most cases, the cause is trauma and the bleeding is from an area in the anterior third of the nose (Kiesselbach area).
Epistaxis is also associated with infections and hypertension. Spurting of blood from the nose results from rupture of arteries.
