A Rare Paranasal Sinus Abnormality: Maxillary Sinus Hypoplasia

Abstract

Maxillary sinus hypoplasia is a rare condition. The majority of patients are asymptomatic but in some cases, they suffer from headaches and facial pain. Awareness of this condition is important because of misdiagnosis and possible complications during endoscopic sinus surgery. This is a presentation of 24-year-old women with unilateral maxillary sinus hypoplasia who presented with headache and nasal blockage. © 2022 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.
