caudal maxillary sinus

18
Q

How is the maxillary sinus separated ventrally?

A

divided into medial and lateral subdivisions by the bony strut supporting the infraorbital canal

19
Q

What sinus is the surgeon opening into?

A

maxillary sinus

20
Q

What does the caudal maxillary sinus communicate with? Via what?

A

communicates with frontal sinus via the frontomaxillary opening (aperture)

communicates with sphenopalatine sinus and middle conchal sinus

21
Q

What does the rostral maxillary sinus communicate with?

A

ventral conchal sinus - medially

22
Q

The RMS and CMS share a slit-like opening into the ________ called the ________

A

middle nasal meatus

nasomaxillary aperture / opening

23
Q

The [dorsal/middle/ventral] nasal meatus communicates with the maxillary sinus via the nasomaxillary aperture

A

middle

24
Q

What is this?

A

middle nasal meatus

25
Q

T/F: #5 is pointing to the dorsal conchal sinus

A

FALSE - this is the dorsal nasal meatus

2 is the dorsal conchal sinus

26
Q

What is the middle conchal sinus?

31
Q

What is the sphenopalatine sinus?

A

small sinus caudal to ethmoidal labyrinth

32
Q

What does the sphenopalatine sinus communicate with?

A

caudal maxillary sinus

33
Q

The sinuses are lined with what type of epithelium?

A

pseudostratified ciliated columnar epithelium

34
Q

How is equine sinus drainage unique?

A

the frontal sinus drains indirectly into the nasal passageway

35
Q

Regarding sinus drainage, all drainage occurs through the _______ into the ________

A

nasomaxillary opening (the slit-like opening the rostral and caudal maxillary sinuses share into…)

the middle nasal meatus

36
Q

What are the sinonasal channels?

A

connect the rostral and caudal maxillary sinuses with the nasomaxillary aperture in the caudal portion of the middle nasal meatus

37
Q

What are the yellow arrows pointing to?

A

sinonasal channels

38
Q

The sinonasal channels connect the _________ with the ________ in the ________

rostral/caudal maxillary sinuses

nasomaxillary aperture

middle nasal meatus

Q

What is this?

A

sinonasal channels

40
Q

What is trephination / bone flaps?

A

open sinus from outside and take out fluid

41
Q

What are the landmarks for entering the maxillary sinus for trephination / bone flaps? What specific part will you enter?

A

A

use midline &
medial canthus

will enter frontal sinus
