Although a variety of theories have been proposed about functions of the paranasal sinuses, not one is clear today. Nonetheless, paranasal sinus–related diseases are associated with a high rate of morbidities. Therefore, it is essential to identify the structure and pathophysiology of the paranasal sinuses. Computed tomography (CT) is a valuable tool displaying anatomic variations and diseases. Because paranasal sinus development is a complex and long-lasting process, there are great structural variations between individuals. Several degrees and combinations of aplasias and hypoplasias have been reported; however, there is only one case of total paranasal sinus aplasia in the literature. Here, we present the second case of total paranasal sinus aplasia. Paranasal sinus development, functions of the paranasal sinuses, and the role of CT were evaluated.

Paranasal sinus anatomical anomalies with unknown etiology are common. Paranasal sinus-related diseases are associated with so high rate of morbidities, it becomes essential to identify the structure and pathophysiology of the paranasal sinuses. Computed tomography (CT) is a valuable tool in displaying its anatomy, any anatomic variations and diseases. As paranasal sinus development is a complex and long-lasting process, there are great structural variations between individuals. Maxillary and/or frontal sinus aplasia or hypoplasia are more common than the other types. Several degrees and combinations of aplasias and hypoplasias have been reported; however, there is only two case of total paranasal sinus aplasia in the literature. Here, we present the third case of total paranasal sinus aplasia, and the first ever case reported from India.

“…It is rudimentary at birth and reaches adult size at puberty following the eruption of permanent teeth, with a mean volume of 12.5 ml [8]. It may occasionally be absent or hypoplastic [3]. The functions of the maxillary sinus are controversial, but it is said to include reduction in weight of the craniofacial bones, acts as a shock absorber to traumatic forces, thermal insulation, humidification, and warming of inspired air, and influences facial growth [25].…”

Introduction: Despite the advent of endoscopic sinus surgery, an external approach to the maxillary sinus may be ideal in certain situations. Objectives: This retrospective study reviews the relevance of, and the indications for, an external approach to the maxillary sinus via Caldwell-Luc operation or its modifications in a health resource-limited setting. Material and methods: Data from case notes and operating records of patients who had the Caldwell-Luc operation or its modifications between January 2004 and June 2018 at the Department of Maxillofacial Surgery of a University Teaching Hospital were retrospectively studied. Findings from descriptive statistics are represented in the form of tables and charts. Results: A total of 26 patients had the Caldwell-Luc operation within the period reviewed, and this consisted of 16 (61.5%) males and 10 (38.5%) females, giving a male to female ratio of 1.6 : 1. Patients' ages ranged from 10 to 45 years with a mean of 31.0 ± 8.8 years. The paediatric age group accounted for only 11.5% of cases. The main indication for performing the Caldwell-Luc operation was chronic maxillary sinusitis (n = 14; 53.8%), and occipitomental radiograph (n = 24; 92.3%) was the main imaging modality used for assessment. Compliance with follow-up review was poor. Conclusions: Despite the advent of functional endoscopic sinus surgery, an external approach to the maxillary sinus using the Caldwell-Luc operation is still relevant, especially in health resource-limited settings.
