“…Expansion continues during childhood and reaches its full size after puberty. 23 Each frontal sinus actually consists of 2 independent spaces that develop from different sources. One is developed from the expansion of the ethmoid sinus into the frontal bone, and other is developed from an independent invagination of the middle meatus of the nasal passage; they never coalesce.…”

The purpose of this study was to determine the possible role of nasal septal deviation on volume of maxillary and frontal sinuses. Between February 2011 and October 2013, paranasal sinus computed tomography (CT) findings of 732 patients (410 males, 322 females) who were admitted to Ear Nose and Throat Department of Kayseri Research and Training Hospital were retrospectively analyzed. By excluding the other coexistent sinonasal pathologies, 83 consecutive patients with nasal septal deviations were included in the study. The volume of each maxillary and frontal sinus (ipsi- and contralateral to the deviation side) was also calculated using the computer program. There was no statistically significant difference between ipsilateral and contralateral maxillary sinus volumes in group 1 and group 3 (P > 0.05). There was a statistically significant difference between ipsilateral and contralateral maxillary sinus volumes in group 2 (P < 0.05). There was no statistically significant difference between ipsilateral and contralateral frontal sinus volumes in group 1, group 2, and group 3 (P > 0.05). Moderate septal deviation significantly affects the volume of maxillary sinus. Mild and severe septal deviation does not significantly affect the volume of maxillary sinus. Effect of septal deviation on frontal sinus volume was not detected. The probability to encounter maxillary and frontal sinusitis ipsilateral to the all septum deviation groups was significantly increased in both right- and left-sided subjects.

“…It has been observed that in cases of MS persistence, the FSs develop separately on either side of the suture and this entity could be used to differentiate a persistent MS from a fracture of the frontal bone on a radiograph (Bilgin et al, ). Furthermore, the MS precludes the likelihood of development of the sinus beyond the median plane (Davis, ; Schaeffer, ).…”

The significant differences between both series showed a tendency for the persistence of metopic suture to be frequently related with FS underdevelopment in the vertical plate of the frontal bone, but in cases of pneumatization, it was preferentially on the left side. Taking into account that the cranial hypertension leads to suture diastasis and hinders development of the FS, it could be suggested that persistence of the metopic suture along with underdevelopment of the FS in nonsyndromic adults could be an expression of an elevated intracranial pressure during early development as an after-effect of certain condition.

“…The metopic suture is a dentate-type suture between two frontal bones 1 extending from the nasion to the bregma. The frontal bone is a unpaired, median and symmetrical bone that occupies the most anterior part of the cranium forming the forehead which is a common area for scalp & face.…”

Introduction:The metopic suture is a dentate-type suture between two frontal bones extending from the nasion to the bregma . The complete metopic sutures extend from nasiontobregma, whereas incomplete metopic suture occupies a small area between these two points. Incidence of metopism can be from 1% to 12%, and it is slightly more prevalent among male. Aim: To describe the different types of metopic suture and the rate of occurrence of each type in Indian population. Materials and methods: 80 (48 male and 28 female) adult human dry skulls were differentiated into different sex and macroscopically examined for metopic suture. Results: Out of the 80 skulls examined, the metopic suture (complete-2 & incomplete-9) was found in 13.75% (11/80) of the skulls, of which 18.75% (9/48) were in males and 6.25% (2/32) in females. Conclusion:The knowledge of morphology of metopic suture can alert the neurosurgeon, imaging persons and forensic persons for the interpretation of skull X-rays and medicolegal autopsies.
