title: Functional anatomy of the paranasal sinuses.
abstract: Paranasal sinus anatomy possesses great complexity and is rather variable from person to person. Significant differences in structure may also exist between the two sides of the same person. Therefore, a detailed knowledge of the anatomy of the sinuses is critical in performing procedures such as functional endoscopic sinus surgery.
