	Chapter 52: THE NOSE AND PARANASAL SINUSES
		The nasal cavity is related to the anterior and middle cranial fossae, orbit, and paranasal sinuses and is separated from the oral cavity by the hard palate.
		The medial wall, or nasal septum, is formed (from anteiror to posterior) by (1) the septal cartilage (destroyed in a dried skull), (2) the perpendicular plate of the ethmoid bone, and (3) the vomer (fig.
		The lateral boundary of the piriform aperture is formed by the nasal bone and the maxilla; that of the choana is formed by the medial pterygoid plate of the sphenoid bone.

		The oral and nasal cavities lie near the body midline, inferior and medial to the orbital cavities, anterior to the pharynx and medial to the infratemporal fossa.
		The plexus of axons coursing with the sphenopalatine arteries is derived from the deep petrosal nerve and the nerve of the pterygoid canal.
		Parasympathetic innervation of the nasal region is to small glands distributed throughout the mucous membranes of the septum, conchae, and palate.

		The inferior nasal concha extends horizontally along the lateral wall of the nasal cavity (Fig.
		It may be divided into three portions: of these, the anterior articulates with the conchal crest of the maxilla; the posterior with the conchal crest of the palatine; the middle portion presents three well-marked processes, which vary much in their size and form.
		—The inferior nasal concha is ossified from a single center, which appears about the fifth month of fetal life in the lateral wall of the cartilaginous nasal capsule.

		As the name implies, portions of the concha are aerated; this occurs either in the vertical portion that attaches to the cribriform plate or lateral nasal cavity walls or in the concha or curved (shell-like) portions of the concha.
		Occasionally, the concha mucosal portion may be deformed where the mucosa starts to fold inward and resembles a boxing glove with the knuckle portion directed toward the floor of the nasal cavity.

		Concha bullosa is a cystic distension of the middle nasal concha.
		The average length of the middle concha in humans is 40 mm, and the average anterior and posterior thicknesses of this structure are 14.5 mm and 7 mm, respectively [3].
		Most polyps in the nasal cavity develop from the mucosa of the anterior ethmoidal sinus, the contact areas of the uncinate process, and the middle turbinate [9].

		The Inferior Nasal Concha is a very thin, porous, and fragile, paired bone basically elongated and curled upon itself.
		It lays in the horizontal plane and is attached to the lateral wall of the nasal cavity.
		By projecting into the nasal cavity, the medial surface of the Inferior Nasal Concha assists in increasing the surface area within the cavity and thus increases the amount of mucus membrane and olfactory nerve endings exposed to inhaled odors.

		Approximately 55% of sinonasal tumors originate from the maxillary sinus, 35% from the nasal cavity, 9% from the ethmoid sinus, and the remainder from the frontal and sphenoid sinuses.
		Tumors of the nasal cavity tend to be diagnosed earlier than those of the paranasal sinuses because of the earlier presentation of obstructive symptoms and epistaxis.
		The roof of the nasal cavities is formed by the cribriform plate, which shields the dura in the anterior cranial fossa from the nasal cavity.
