Functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) requires pre-operative imaging. This study highlights maxillary sinus hypoplasia (MSH) and uncinate process variations, crucial for surgical planning and avoiding complications.

Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Medical Imaging

Background:

  • Functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) is a common procedure worldwide.
  • Pre-operative computed tomography (CT) scans are standard for FESS, though their necessity is debated for limited procedures.
  • Existing literature inadequately details maxillary sinus hypoplasia (MSH) and uncinate process deformities.

Observation:

  • This article presents two cases of maxillary sinus hypoplasia (MSH): one unilateral and one bilateral.
  • These cases illustrate specific anatomical variations encountered in sinus surgery patients.

Findings:

  • Maxillary sinus hypoplasia (MSH) and associated uncinate process deformities represent significant anatomical variants.
  • These variations may not be adequately addressed in standard pre-operative imaging interpretation guides.

Implications:

  • Awareness of MSH and related uncinate process anomalies is critical for surgeons performing FESS.
  • Recognizing these anatomical variants can help prevent intraoperative complications, particularly orbital injuries.
  • Pre-operative CT interpretation must emphasize the identification of such anatomical variations for safer FESS.
