Frontal Recess Anatomy



This slide shows axial CT sections of the frontal recess summarising the possible paranasal cell types that contribute toward the formation of the frontal recess. This slide forms the basis of our present understanding of the frontal recess region which took a while to unfold from the publications of Dr FA Kuhn of Savannah Georgia in the mid 1990s first describing the anterior set of cells and the progressive unravelling of the clinical significance of the posterior, postero-lateral and medial set of cells.

From the lecture on "Anatomy of the Frontal Recess" at the Practical Course in Endonasal Microsurgery of the Paranasal Sinuses and Anterior Skull Base June 14 - 16 2010.
