Bilateral maxillary sinus hypoplasia

Abstract

Maxillary sinus hypoplasia is an uncommon condition characterized by underdevelopment of the maxillary sinus antrum. Typically, it is accompanied by other anomalies, such as abnormalities in the uncinate process and infundibular passage. We present a rare case of bilateral maxillary sinus hypoplasia in a 22-year-old, symptomatic patient who didn’t respond to maximum medical therapy. Combining a detailed history, endoscopic examination, and CT scan are crucial in diagnosing sinus diseases, particularly in MSH cases.
