Updates to Article Attributes
Body
was changed:
Frontal recess cells are anterior ethmoid air cells that pneumatise the frontal recess. Their clinical relevance lies in their potential to obstruct the frontal recess outflow. As such, they should be reported by the radiologist pre-operatively, especially in cases of frontal sinusitis.
Named frontal recess cells include:
