Abstract:
Many nasal symptoms can be caused by normal variation in nasal structure or functioning. External nasal deformity necessitates further examinations only when remarkable or causing nasal blockage. Septal deformities are often seen also in patients without any symptoms. The size of nasal turbinates and the number or size of paranasal sinuses may vary causing sometimes problems in the interpretation of radiological imaging. Abnormal radiological findings can be detected also in asymptomatic patients, most commonly mucosal thickening and cysts of paranasal sinuses. Meticulous clinical examination including decongestation of nasal mucosa is a key for sorting out meaningful connection between symptoms and findings.

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...
Sutures of the Skull
Sutures are immobile joints between adjacent bones of the skull. The narrow gap between the bones is filled with dense, fibrous connective tissue that unites the bones. The long sutures located between the skull bones are not straight but instead follow irregular, tightly twisting paths. These twisting lines tightly...
Overview of the Skull
The cranial vault surrounds and protects the brain and houses the middle and inner ear structures. This cavity is bounded superiorly by the rounded top of the skull, which...
