EMBRYOLOGICAL DEVELOPMENT &
ANATOMY OF NOSE
Presenter – Dr Pulkit AgarwalModerator – Dr G.S.Renukananda
EMBRYOLOGY 4th to 8th week from 5 Swellings
(Ectoderm)
1st Arch
Ectodermal thickenings(5th week)
6th week : ectoderm from Nasal placode invaginates to form oval nasal pits
12.5 mm Enbryo stage : Maxillary prominence grows medially
Nasal pits separate from stomodeum
Intermaxillary process (fusion of medial nasal process) central tissues pushed up to form nasal prominence
Globular process forms the philtrum (lateral angles of medial nasal process)By 7th week invaginates to form nasolacrimal duct
Canalisation may not complete till after birth
• Nasal Septum Development – 13.5 mm embryo stage (6th week)• Fusion of maxillary to frontonasal process. • Midline ridge from posterior end of frontonasal process forms
septum• 6th week• 15mm stage
Nasal pits deepen and coalesce (end of 6th week)
Primitive Choanae formed at 7th week
Primitive nasal septum is completely Cartilagenous
2 centres
Groove on which septal catilage sits
Lateral nasal processes – nasal alae and lateral nasal wallHard palate formed by around 8th and 9th week
Palatine shelf – Medial extensions of maxillary process
Fuses with septum forming 2 passages which opens into defintive choanae
Paraseptal Jacobsons cartilage invagination of ectoderm leads to Vomeronasal Organ
Disappears leaving a blind tubular pouch 2 – 6mm long
Jacobsons cartilage involutes leaving small cartilagenous bulge
VNO / Jacobsons organ is first stage of the accessory olfactory system, and contains sensory neurons that detect chemical stimuli mainly used to
detect pheromones found in many animals

Vestigial importance
Depresses SeptumTip of noseExpandes nares during forced inspiration
Transverse – Pyriform aperture to Dorsum of nose & Contracts nasal apertureAlar – beneath nasomaxillary suture line via short thin tendon to skin of nasal alae Contraction causes shortening and dilation of Nostril
Continuation of FrontalisShortens nose on contraction and also movements in region of eyebrows hence aka Depressor Glabellae
Frontal process of maxillaBlends with lateral crus of lower lateral cartilages & pulls it superiorlyAlso pulls lips superiorly helping in dilation

Lateral wall
Roof of posterior choanae
Straighter
1 cm
Atrium – Structureless areaShows bulge anterior to middle turbinate formed by agger nasi cellsRidge from agger nasi to apex of superior border of inferior turbinate which overlies NLD3 scrolls of turbinates. Occasionally supreme turbinate.Sphenoethmoidal recess above superior turbinate which forms niche between posterior ethmoidal cells and sphenoidal cellsFossa of rosenmuller forms a deep cleft behind torus tubarisAttachments of middle turbinate :Anterior 1/3rd – cribriform plate at jnct in saggital plane also takes a small anterior attachment to frontonasal process(maxilla)Middle 1/3rd – lamina papyracea in coronal plane (ground lamellae)Posterior 1/3rd – to lamina papyracea and the perpendicular plate of the palatine bone extending upto the roof of posterior choanae
Behind middle turbinate, most anteriorly – Uncinate processSeparated from well pneumatized ant ethmoidal cell (bulla) by hiatus semilunaris inferioris.Hiatus semilunaris leads into infundibulum
As per Naumann : Osteomeatal complex is complex microarchitectural pathway in ethmoid labyrinth that drains anterior group of paranasal sinuses and consists of frontal recess, ethmoid infundibulum, hiatus semilunaris, uncinate process, bulla ethmoidalis and middle meatus
Osteomeatal Complex
Uncinate process – sickle shaped, Horizontal and vertical parts & intermediate transitional partRetrobullar recess – Between bullae and ground lamellaeSuprabullar recesss – If bulla doesn’t extend till skull baseTogether form space above and behind the bulla called Sinus Lateralis of grunwald which opens in middle meatus via Hiatus semilunaris superiorisBoundaries :
Roof : Ethmoid foveaFloor : Ethmoid bullaPosteriorly : Ground lamellaAnteriorly : Frontal recessLaterally : Lamina papyraceaMedially : Middle turbinate
Infundibulum leads into the frontal recess
Frontal Recess :BoundriesAnteriorly : Agger Nasi cells (a part of Frontal recess)Posteriorly : Bulla Ethmiodalis (a suprabullar recess will open in posterior wall of frontal recess)Laterally : Lamina PapyraceaMedially : Middle turbinateSuperiorly : Opens via the frontal ostium into the frontal sinus
Frontal sinus opening is funnel shaped (FI) in posteromedial floor of sinus. Hour glass config.Upper end of Uncinate lies in frontal recess.Large no of anatomical variations but 80% attached to lamina papyracea in form of domeDome like attachement of uncinate in frontal recess described by Stammberger – eggshell in inverted cup
Recess enclosed within this dome is called recessus terminalisIn this case frontal sinus opens medial to uncinate processWell hidden by the uncinate process lies an opening of the maxillary sinusNormal ostium – 3D, Ovoid and tunnel likeAccessory osteum – 2D, CircularRelations of maxillary ostium are : Inferiorly is the inferior turbinate, 1 to 2 mm superiorly is the lamina papyracea and the orbit, posteriorly is the posterior fontanelle, 0.5 cm anteriorly lies the nasolacrimal ductAnterior fontenelle – AI to uncinatePosterior fontenelle – PS to uncinateBoth are just double layer of mucous membrane without underlying bone, thus if memb deficient can lead to accessory ostia
Bulla may drain into the middle meatus/hiatus semilunaris/ sinus lateralis
Frontal sinus drains into frontal recess medial or lateral to uncinate process depending on the mode of attachment of the uncinate process or suprabullar recess if present
Maxillary sinus – always in infudibulum
Sphenoid sinus – Sphenoethmoidal recess
Meatal Drainage
Inferior meatus :
NLD (Hasners valve)
Middle meatus :
FrontalAnterior ethmoidalMaxillary
Superior meatus :
Posterior ethmoidal
Sphenoethmoidal recess :Sphenoid

Anatomical Variations
DNS –AP deviations best seen in axial scansSpurs at vomerocartilagenous junction – Coronal scansNear OMC may lead to impaired drainage of sinusesConcha bullosa or HIT on roomy side may compromise OMCSeptum may be pneumatised
Agger Nasi cells – Can be hypoplastic or prominent leading to displacement of anterior attachment of middle turbinate posterosuperiorly
Uncinate process – Hypoplastic / laterally bent – Infundibulum narrow space difficult to enterMedially bent so much so to resemble anterior wall of bulla, or may be curled upon itself to appear like a duplicated middle turbinate
Variations attachment of Uncinate – • Skull base• Middle turbinate• Insertion of middle turbinate• May lie free in the middle meatus
May be pneumatisedUncinate if attached to skull base, frontal sinus drains into infundibulum and therefore diseases from the frontal sinus can spread directly to the maxillary sinus and vice versa
Middle turbinate :Pneumatised – concha bullosa (either from agger nasi/frontal reces or from anterior ethmoidal cells)Concha may obstruct airway, affect drainage of secretions and lead to chronic infections of sinusesOccasionally middle turbinate may pneumatise the vertical lamella of the middle turbinate to produce what is called the intralamellar cell of Grunwald
May take a paradoxical sharp bend laterally, often bilaterally leading to blockade of infundibulumCan sometimes curl upon itself to produce a concavity within it called turbinate sinus
Ethmoidal bulla :Hypoplastic or non pneumatised hillockMay be excessively pneumatised abutting against uncinate process anteriorly or the middle turbinate compromising infundibulum or middle meatus respectivelyThe sinus lateralis may extend laterally to pneumatise the roof of the orbit thus forming the supraorbital ethmoid cell. This cell is seen in coronal CT scan at the level of the bulla behind the frontal sinus
Ethmoid Air Cells :The anterior and posterior ethmoid air cells may pneumatise surrounding bones like lacrimal bone, maxilla, frontal bone, sphenoid to produce varying patterns of pneumatisation
