[Changes in paranasal sinuses during postnatal ontogenesis of inhabitants of Karelia ]
1Department of Human Anatomy, I.P. Pavlov State Medical University, St.-Petersburg.
Abstract:
Roentgenographs of 1566 maxillary, 1404 frontal and 131 sphenoid sinuses (a total of 3101 sinuses) belonging to the practically healthy individuals of both sexes aged 3-85 years were studied to reveal the regularities of growth of paranasal sinuses in inhabitants of Karelya. It was established that the dimensions of paranasal sinuses depended upon person's age and gender. The growth of paranasal sinuses in women was completed 1.5-2.0 years earlier than in men. In persons of elderly and senile age there was a secondary increase in sinuses' dimensions, associated with osteoporosis phenomena. In women this secondary increase was more pronounced than in men and started on average 5 years earlier.

Cranial Bones: Superior and Posterior View
The frontal bone is the single bone that forms the forehead. At its anterior midline, between the eyebrows, there is a slight depression called the glabella. The frontal bone also forms the supraorbital margin of the orbit. Near the middle of this margin is the supraorbital foramen, the opening that provides passage for a sensory nerve to the forehead. The frontal bone is thickened just above each supraorbital margin,...
Cranial Bones: Lateral View
The temporal bone forms the lower lateral side of the skull. The temporal bone is subdivided into several regions. The flattened upper portion is the squamous portion of the temporal bone. Below this area and projecting anteriorly is the zygomatic process of the temporal bone, which forms the posterior portion of the zygomatic arch. Posteriorly is the mastoid portion of the temporal bone. Projecting...
