“…The infraorbital nerve supplies the skin and midface mucosa. When it emerges on the face by the infraorbital foramen, the infraorbital nerve is divided into three alveolar proximal branches (anterior, middle, and posterior superior alveolar nerves) and four distal branches (inferior palpebral, external nasal, internal nasal and superior labial) [1,4].…”

The infraorbital canal issues a small branch on its lateral face close to its midpoint to allow passage of the anterior superior alveolar nerve. This small canal, sometimes called the canalis sinuosus, runs forward and downward to the inferior wall of the orbit, lateral to the infraorbital canal and medially bent to the anterior wall of the maxillary sinus, passing below the infraorbital foramen. Anatomical variations in the maxilla are rarely described in the literature and, in most cases, are related to the nasopalatine canal. This article describes a rare anatomical variation of the presence of a bilateral accessory canal extending from the nasal cavity lateral wall to an accessory foramen located on the hard palate, adjacent to the maxillary lateral incisor observed in cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) images. This case is an anatomical variation of the anterior superior alveolar nerve (canalis sinuosus). Identification of individual anatomical variations, especially on CBCT, may help the surgeon to avoid injuries to nerves during implant placement.

“…There is some discussion as to the need for CFT in the treatment of rhinosinusitis. 2,4 The majority of findings are that CFT offers the potential for complete clearance of mucosal disease in the maxillary sinus. Interestingly, Lee et al 4 noted no significant difference in the outcome for patients with chronic rhinosinusitis and nasal polyposis treated with CFT versus MMA without CFT; however, the patients in this group did not have allergic fungal sinusitis, and it is recognized that incomplete clearing of fungal mucin results in a rapid recurrence of the disease.…”

“…Recently, an updated anatomical study has described new landmarks, namely a trephination at the intersection of the midpupillary line and the horizontal line through the floor of the nasal vestibule. 2 Cadaveric studies have shown this to be the optimum position for avoiding damage to the plexuses of the anterior superior alveolar nerve (ASAN) and middle superior alveolar nerve (MSAN), and the potential sequelae of cheek swelling, dental numbness, facial numbness, tingling, and pain.…”

“…(6) The complications of the CFP are cheek swelling, facial pain, facial numbness, cheek pain, dental numbness, gingival complications and facial tingling which are the result of injury to branches of the infraorbital nerve as illustrated by Robinson et al (7) To decrease the risk of complications, the site of puncture in canine fossa is an intersection between the mid-pupillary line and a line through the floor of the nasal vestibule as advocated as landmark by Wormald PJ et al In our study, we advocate the same site of puncture as described by Wormald P J et al (8) Only one patient complains of facial numbness, immediate post-operative period which resolve at third-month interval.…”

BACKGROUNDObjectives-Chronic rhinosinusitis is a chronic disease that involves long-term inflammation of nasal and paranasal sinus mucosa (Benninger et al 2003). It is extremely a common condition affecting about 15% population. The maxillary sinus is one of commonest sinus to affect. Aetiology of chronic maxillary sinusitis is either rhinogenous or dental origin as proposed. The evidence of chronic maxillary sinusitis in the population was 0.02% and dental cause was found in 40.6% of cases. Nowadays, we perform endoscopic sinus surgery to eradicate the pathology and widening of ostiomeatal complex, but there are so many hidden area of maxillary sinus which cannot be reached by ESS alone. To overcome these shortcomings, canine fossa puncture with endoscopic sinus surgery is a useful procedure to fully visualise maxillary antrum and to deal with pathology in it. So we have conducted this study in our Institution to see the impact of Canine Fossa Puncture (CFP) with clearance of the maxillary sinus during endoscopic sinus surgery in severely diseased maxillary sinus. Study Design -Retrospective.
