Abstract:
Accessory maxillary ostium (AMO) is one of the anatomical variations in the maxillary sinus. It can be present in different sizes, shapes, and locations. We here reported a case of a rare variation of AMO with large size in a patient with chronic rhinosinusitis. It is important to identify the presence of AMO especially in patients with chronic rhinosinusitis as it can lead to mucus recirculation and disease persistence.

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...
Mechanism of Breathing III: The Accessory Muscles
The respiratory system is a complex network that relies on primary respiratory muscles like the diaphragm, but also involves accessory muscles to enhance lung expansion and airflow during both inhalation and exhalation.
Enhancing Inhalation with Accessory Muscles:
Accessory muscles such as the sternocleidomastoid, scalene, intercostal, and abdominal muscles are crucial when additional respiratory effort is required, such as during deep...
