Maxillary Sinus

A hollow cavity within the maxillary bone, lined by a mucous membrane and filled with air.

Maxillary Sinus Development

The development of the maxillary sinus starts as a small invagination of the nasal cavity and expands with age.

Maxillary Sinus Anomalies

Abnormal development of the maxillary sinus can lead to varying conditions requiring surgical intervention.

Maxillary Sinus Structure

The maxillary sinus consists of a mucous membrane lining and a bony wall with variations in shape and size.
