title: [History of surgical interventions in the paranasal sinuses].
abstract: Hippocratices was the first to describe lesions that obstruct the nasal passages. Andreas Vesalius described the maxillary, frontal, and sphenoid sinuses. Mikulicz, Lothrop and Claoué are considered to have been the first to perform inferior meatal antrostomy of the maxillary sinus. Siebenmann was apparently the first to recommend suprameatal antrostomy in the middle meatus, which is now fashionable again. Grünwald, Hajek, Killian, Halle and Uffenorde developed endonasal ethmoid surgery to an established procedure.
