Following that, 153 operated sides in 84 cases prepared for revision endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS) were studied for residual diseased cells at different anatomic locations.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Overall, retromaxillary PE pneumatization was identifiable in 416 of the 524 sides (79.4%). Lateral retromaxillary extension varied from 0.5 to 12.3\u00a0mm (mean \u00b1 SD, 4.8 \u00b1 2.3\u00a0mm). This area of pneumatization is bounded anteroinferiorly by the junction between the posterior and superior walls of the maxillary sinus. Three cell types were described depending on the degree of lateral extension (type I, &lt;3\u00a0mm; type II, 3\u20106\u00a0mm; type III, &gt;6\u00a0mm). This cell, which we refer to as the <jats:italic>Herzallah cell<\/jats:italic>, was distinguishable from the anterior ethmoid Haller cell and was found to have residual disease in 50.3% of cases prepared for revision ESS.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>Retromaxillary extension of PE air cells varies considerably and requires attention during ESS.
