Özet

Paranasal sinuses are known to demonstrate large anatomical variations. The hypoplasia or aplasia of paranasal sinuses is a rare clinical condition referring mainly to the frontal and maxillary sinuses. The combined aplasia of sphenoid, frontal and maxillary sinuses with the hypoplasia of ethmoid sinuses are overly among rarely encountered entities. Here, we present a 38-year-old woman without any syndromes or skeletal disease, combining the aplasia of sphenoid, maxillary and frontal sinuses with the hypoplasia of ethmoid sinuses.
