includes temporal, sphenoid, maxilla and nasal
can le fort fractures 1,2,3 cause spread of infection
no- only 2 and 3 can
why is a septal haematoma incised and drained?
prevents AVN of septal hyaline cartilage which relies in nutrients from nasal mucosa

what mucosa makes up the nasal cavity next to the sphenoid
olfactory mucosa
what is the olfactory nerve
special sensory
What nerve supplies the superior half of the nasal cavity
V1- opthalmic
what nerve supplies the posterior part of nasal cavity
V2- maxillary
what blood supply arises from external carotid artery
facial and maxillary
what blood supply arises from internal carotid arteries
opthalmic
what are branches of the ophthalmic artery
anterior and posterior ethmoidal arteries
what are branches of the maxillary artery
sphenopalatine and greater palatine arteries
what arises form the facial artery
lateral nasal branch of facial or septal branch of superior labial artery depending on how you look at it
what is important about kiesselbachs area?
an arterial anastomosis on nasal septum- common cause of nosebleeds
what are the spaces below each conchae called (4)
meatus- sphenoethmoidal, superior, middle, inferior
what is paranasal sinus
air filled spaces within bone
name the 7/8 paranasal sinuses
2x frontal bone, 2x maxillary sinuses, 2x ethmoid air cells, 1/2x sphenoid sinuses
what are the paranasal sinuses lined by
mucous secreting respiratory mucosa
where does the sphenoid sinus drain into
sphenoethmoidal recess
where does the lacrimal gland sit
just below outer eye brow
where does the lacrimal gland drain into
nasolacrimal duct
what is sinusitis
inflammation of the paranasal sinuses
what are some causes of sinusitis
infection, allergy, autoimmune issues
where can sinusitis pain be referred to
teeth
what does the temporal bone contain
organs of hearing and balance, facial and vestibulocochlear nerves

CNVII- Facial nerve, CN VIII vestibulocochlear, CN IX glossopharyngeal, X vagus, XI accessory, XII hypoglossal
what makes up the external ear
temporal bone, elastic cartilage (avascualr, nutrients from skin)
What is the middle part of the external ear called
external acoustic meatus
what are the three landmarks on the ear called
triages, helix and ear lobe
which nerve innervates most of external ear
C2,3
What does the CNX and CNV3 supply?
EAM and tympanic membrane
where does the lymph in lateral superior half of auricle drain to
parotid lymph nodes
where does the cranial surface of superior half drain to
mastoid lymph nodes
where does the auricle lymph drain to
superficial lymph nodes
what is involved in a otoscopic examination
EAM and tympanic membrane
how do you straighten EAM in a child
pull the ear down nd back
how do you straighten ear in adults
Up and back
what is the most depressed part in the upper ear
