The European anatomical position paper includes also lateral cells. According to the IFAC, anterior cells push the frontal sinus drainage pathway (FSDP) medially, posteriorly or posteromedially. Posterior cells push the FSDP anteriorly. The only medial cell, pushing the FSDP laterally is the frontal septal cell, which is attached to or located in the interfrontal sinus septum. The aim of this study was to verify the IFAC and characterise cells, which are inconsistent with this classification.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Design<\/jats:title><jats:p>A radioanatomic analysis.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Setting<\/jats:title><jats:p>Tertiary university hospital.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Participants<\/jats:title><jats:p>One hundred and three Caucasian adult patients with no inflammatory changes in paranasal sinuses CT.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Main outcomes measure<\/jats:title><jats:p>Results of assessment of multiplanar reconstruction of thin slice CT.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Two types of cells that cannot be classified using the IFAC were found: (a) Lateral cells extending between the skull base and the anterior buttress, pushing the FSDP anteromedially or medially, present in 34 (16.5%) of the sides, (b) Paramedian cells: medially based, not adjacent to the interfrontal septum, pushing the FSDP laterally and posteriorly, present in 33 (16%) of sides.
