DEVELOPMENT OF NOSE
The developmental precursors of the nose are the
neural crest cells,
which commence their caudal migration toward the midface around the fourth week of
gestation.

Appearance of nasal placodes at the end of 4th week of IUL
NASAL PITS are formed on 5th week of IUL, by invagination of nasal placodes.
Nasal prominence are formed following the formation of Basal pits

Development of lateral wall of nose
During 8th week of IUL 6 to 7 ridges appear on the lateral nasal wall,
those ridges are called as ETHMO TURBINALS.
![Page 17: Surgical anatomy of nose](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062503/58f9b1cc760da3da068bc489/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)

PROCESS
2nd ETHAMO TURBINAL forms MIDDLE TURBINATE.
3rd ETHAMO TURBINAL forms SUPERIOR TURBINATE
4th and 5th ETHAMO TURBINAL forms SUPREME TURBINATE
MAXILLO TURBINAL forms INFERIOR TURBINATE

Nasal bone
Note it is thicker superiorly and tapers inferiorly
![Page 30: Surgical anatomy of nose](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062503/58f9b1cc760da3da068bc489/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Key points on external nose
Nasal bone is thick superiorly and thin below intercanthal line (fracture vulnerability)
Pole and tent relationship between ethmoid and the nasal bones makes ethmoid bone fracture vulnerable
![Page 31: Surgical anatomy of nose](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062503/58f9b1cc760da3da068bc489/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Nasal cartilages absorb significant amount of force.
Avulsion and dislocation of upper lateral cartilages give
“ hollowed out” appearance
External nasal artery a terminal branch of ophthalmic artery exits between nasal bone and upper lateral cartilage is
prone for injury
![Page 32: Surgical anatomy of nose](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062503/58f9b1cc760da3da068bc489/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)

Ethmoid bone
Needs to be understood in a proper way
Forms most of the skeletal framework of the nose
![Page 37: Surgical anatomy of nose](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062503/58f9b1cc760da3da068bc489/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Ethmoid bone
Single delicate bone with horizontal cribriform plate and vertical perpendicular plate of ethmoid
Cribriform plate fits into notch of the frontal bone
It transmits olfactory nerves as well as anterior and
posterior ethmoidal arteries
Crista galli is a projection on cribriform plate

anterior and posterior ethmoidal arteries are branches of ophthalmic artery ( ICA )
Sphenopalatine artery, greater palatine artery are branches of maxillary artery ( ECA )
Superior labial artery is a branch of facial artery (ECA)
![Page 48: Surgical anatomy of nose](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062503/58f9b1cc760da3da068bc489/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
Important anatomical concepts
the perpendicular plate of ethmoid should NOT be rocked as it may lead to the fracture of cribriform plate and cause CSF leak.
![Page 49: Surgical anatomy of nose](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062503/58f9b1cc760da3da068bc489/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
Lateral wall of nose Very important to be anatomically oriented
With the invent of endoscopy landmarks need to
be well versed
Makes radiological interpretation very easy
![Page 50: Surgical anatomy of nose](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062503/58f9b1cc760da3da068bc489/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
Lateral wall will be dissected layer by layer to get
familiar with anatomical details
![Page 51: Surgical anatomy of nose](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062503/58f9b1cc760da3da068bc489/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)

Lateral nasal wall
![Page 53: Surgical anatomy of nose](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062503/58f9b1cc760da3da068bc489/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)

Anterior part is covered by skin and has hair (vestibule)
Bulge anterior to the middle turbinate is the agger nasi cell (most anterior ethmoidal cell)
Ridge from agger nasi cells extend to the superior border of
the inferior turbinate ( naso lacrimal duct)
![Page 55: Surgical anatomy of nose](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062503/58f9b1cc760da3da068bc489/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
Most anteriorly is a curved ridge called the uncinate process.
Behind this is the well pneumatized and most constant anterior ethmoidal cell, namely the ethmoidal bulla.
These structures are separated by a semilunar groove called the hiatus semilunaris.
![Page 56: Surgical anatomy of nose](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062503/58f9b1cc760da3da068bc489/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)
The hiatus semilunaris is two-dimensional and leads into a three-dimensional space called the infundibulum.
The uncinate process, the bulla and the intervening infundibulum form the key area or
the osteomeatal unit into which the frontal, the maxillary and anterior ethmoidal sinuses drain.
![Page 57: Surgical anatomy of nose](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062503/58f9b1cc760da3da068bc489/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)
Osteomeatal unit
![Page 58: Surgical anatomy of nose](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062503/58f9b1cc760da3da068bc489/html5/thumbnails/58.jpg)
Minimal inflammation in the osteomeatal area can block off aeration to the anterior ethmoid,
frontal
maxillary sinus, leading to infection in them.
This concept is the basis of Messerklinger’s functional endoscopic sinus surgery whereby
the clearance of this area alone may reverse changes in the draining sinuses.
![Page 59: Surgical anatomy of nose](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062503/58f9b1cc760da3da068bc489/html5/thumbnails/59.jpg)
applied anatomy Middle turbinate should be manipulated very gently as it attaches directly to the cribriform plate.
A forcible attempt to medialize the middle turbinate in order to get a better view of the middle meatus may lead to a break in the cribriform plate and a CSF leak
![Page 60: Surgical anatomy of nose](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062503/58f9b1cc760da3da068bc489/html5/thumbnails/60.jpg)
While dissecting in the region of the frontal recess, care should be taken to maintain the mucosa over the middle turbinate.
adhesions will form between the lateral nasal wall and the upper attachment of the middle turbinate These adhesions will cause lateralization of the middle turbinate and obliteration of the frontal recess with subsequent iatrogenic frontal sinus disease In extreme cases complete obliteration of the middle meatus may occur.
![Page 61: Surgical anatomy of nose](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062503/58f9b1cc760da3da068bc489/html5/thumbnails/61.jpg)

The uncinate process is sickle shaped, with vertical and a horizontal limb
The ethmoidal bulla is usually a well pneumatized,
most constant, anterior ethmoidal cell.
Can be absent in 8% of cases
![Page 64: Surgical anatomy of nose](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062503/58f9b1cc760da3da068bc489/html5/thumbnails/64.jpg)
Ethmoidal bulla separated posteriorly from the ground lamella of the middle turbinate by a recess called the retrobullar recess
the bulla does not extend upto the base of the skull and is separated from it by the suprabullar recess. The retrobullar and suprabullar recesses together form a semilunar space above and behind the bulla called the
sinus lateralis of Grunwald.
![Page 65: Surgical anatomy of nose](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062503/58f9b1cc760da3da068bc489/html5/thumbnails/65.jpg)

applied anatomy Clearance of the bulla, anterior and posterior ethmoid cells should be done using blunt
instrument to prevent injury to the lamina papyracea and orbital contents.
The anterior wall of the bulla lies just in front of the
anterior ethmoidal artery at the base skull
![Page 67: Surgical anatomy of nose](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062503/58f9b1cc760da3da068bc489/html5/thumbnails/67.jpg)
Frontal recess Lot of anatomical variations
bounded anteriorly by the agger nasi cell .
The posterior wall is formed by the bulla ethmoidalis.
The lateral wall is formed by the lamina papyracea.
The medial wall is formed by the middle turbinate.
Superiorly the frontal recess opens via the frontal ostium into the frontal sinus.
![Page 68: Surgical anatomy of nose](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062503/58f9b1cc760da3da068bc489/html5/thumbnails/68.jpg)

Applied anatomy
Whilst dissecting in the frontal recess the surgeon
may think he has entered the frontal sinus, when
in fact, he is within a frontal cell (anterior ethmoidal cell )
It is necessary to de-roof this frontal cell so as to
reach the frontal sinus and establish its drainage
![Page 72: Surgical anatomy of nose](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062503/58f9b1cc760da3da068bc489/html5/thumbnails/72.jpg)

Applied anatomy
A branch of the sphenopalatine artery runs along the lateral nasal wall in the middle meatus.
This branch may be encountered whilst widening the maxillary ostium posteriorly
The normal ostium should be widened in an anteroinferior direction to prevent injury to the nasolacrimal duct, which lies 5 mm anterior to it.
![Page 76: Surgical anatomy of nose](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062503/58f9b1cc760da3da068bc489/html5/thumbnails/76.jpg)
The sphenoid sinus ostium lies high on its anterior wall close to its roof.
It drains into the sphenoethmoidal recess.
The superior turbinate in the sphenoethmoidal recess, may over lie the opening of the sphenoid ostium.
The sphenoid ostium lies 1-1.5 cm above the roof of the
posterior choana and approximately 2-3 mm away from the septum.
![Page 77: Surgical anatomy of nose](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062503/58f9b1cc760da3da068bc489/html5/thumbnails/77.jpg)

Ethmoidal sinus The anterior ethmoidal air cells are variable in number; the posterior ethmoidal air cells are fewer and larger.
Anterior group drains into middle meatus by way of the infundibulum
Middle group drains into the middle meatus
Posterior group drains into superior meatus and some times one or more into sphenoidal sinus

The anterior ethmoidal cells may migrate anterosuperiorly into the frontal recess to produce different types of frontal cells
Type I A single cell above the agger nasi cell
Type II Two or more cells above the agger nasi cell.
Type III A large cell extending well into the frontal sinus mimicking the frontal sinus itself (frontal bulla).
Type IV An isolated “loner cell” separately within the frontal sinus

posterior ethmoidal cell may extend posterolaterally over the sphenoid called the Onodi
cell.
Thus the Onodi cell insinuates itself between the optic nerve and the sphenoid sinus.
The optic nerve therefore produces a bulge in the Onodi
cell instead of in the sphenoid sinus.

Sphenoidal surgery In approximately 6 percent of cases, the bone over the
optic nerve may be dehiscent
in approximately 25 percent of cases, bone over the internal carotid artery may be clinically dehiscent.
This may be difficult to visualize on CT scan if the sphenoid sinus is full of polyps.
Therefore extreme caution has to be exercised in pulling polyps out from within the sphenoid sinus.
A branch of the sphenopalatine artery runs across the anterior face of the sphenoid to reach the septum may be injured during widening the ostium.

4 lamellae encountered on endoscopy
These from anterior to posterior are—
the uncinate process,
the anterior wall of the bulla,
the ground lamella
the anterior wall of the sphenoid.

The ethmoidal cells have been completely cleared to expose the lamina papyracea, which appears yellowish due to the underlying orbital fat
The maxillary ostium has been widened to gain a view of the interior of the sinus.
the lamina papyracea and the orbit is just 2-3 mm above the level of the maxillary ostium.

Nasolacrimal duct is split with sac and opening
![Page 93: Surgical anatomy of nose](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062503/58f9b1cc760da3da068bc489/html5/thumbnails/93.jpg)
The nasolacrimal duct opens in the roof of the inferior meatus at this apex.
It is guarded by a valve called the Hasner’s valve.
The canal for the nasolacrimal duct has been dissected. It lies approximately 5 mm anterior
to the normal maxillary ostium.

The lamina papyracea has been removed and the orbital periosteum has been cut to expose the orbital
fat.
Anteriorly, a pad of fat separates the vital structures of
the orbit from the nose.
posteriorly the medial rectus is in close relation with the
lamina papyracea

Take home message With the incorporation of FESS into ENT speciality ( thanks to Dr. Messerklinger ) the anatomical orientation is very important.
The osteocartilagenous framework acts as a single unit and needs to be respected while performing surgery.
Concept of osteomealtal unit could be understood only when the sinus anatomy and their drainage are well versed.
