![]() | Media file 1: CT scan, nasal cavity. Normal anterior ostiomeatal complex anatomy. The anatomy of the ethmoid infundibulum and the uncinate process is demonstrated here. |
![]() | Media file 7: CT scan, nasal cavity. Bilateral pneumatization of the uncinate tips. Expansion of the tips can compromise the ethmoid infundibulum, the semilunar hiatus, or the middle meatus. |
![]() | Media file 8: CT scan, nasal cavity. Large Haller air cell clearly narrowing the ethmoid infundibulum. |
