Anatomy of maxillary ostia should be well understood by the endoscopic sinus surgeons in order to perform the middle meatus antrostomy. Once located, the natural ostium can be wined anteriorly or posteriorly so that it communicates with the fontanelles to the extent permitted by any disease or stenosis that may be present.
The maxillary sinus: physiology, development and imaging …
Accessory ostia arise in the thin, membranous portion of the medial wall of the maxillary sinus, usually postero inferior to the main ostium. They are seen in 20–40% of the population. They may be acquired rather than developmental, the thin membranous portion rupturing as a result of maxillary sinusitis and obstruction of the main ostium. 54,57

A study on the association between accessory maxillary ostium …
2021年7月14日 · Accessory maxillary ostium (AMO) has a major role to play in the aetiology of maxillary sinusitis. Mucosal thickening is one of the key radiographic features of chronic maxillary sinusitis. The aim of this study was to identify the location of the AMOs and investigate the association between Mucosal Thickening [MT] and AMO using Cone Beam ...
Maxillary sinus begins as an outpouching of the nasal mucosa within the ethmoid infundibulum at 60–70 days of embryonic development. The primary maxillary sinus ostium represents this point of evagination [4]. The primary maxillary ostium may be found at any point along the course of the ethmoid infundibulum. In the
