Abstract
- The paranasal sinuses are cavities inside some bones categorized as pneumatic. The variants of the anatomy of the sinuses are common findings in daily practice. The introduction of computed tomography (CT) and panoramic radiographs (RP) in the identification of sinus disease contributed to a better understanding of the factors that lead to obstruction of the ostiomeatal complex. It is important for radiologists to be aware of incidental findings in the paranasal sinuses on computed tomography (CT), concomitant computed tomography (CTT), and panoramic radiography (RP) for adequate correlation with patients' clinical data. The maxillary sinus is the largest of the paranasal sinuses and the first to emerge in the embryonic development. The present study aimed to review in the literature about the main pathological findings in the maxillary sinus and to point out the main aspects or alterations that should be observed by the healthcare professional when there are clinical manifestations. Knowledge about the anatomy of the maxillary sinus and its variations are ancillary diagnostic tools that are suitable for good interpretation and are essential for an accurate diagnosis.
