In 35% of the sides, none of the aforementioned cell types were found. There were many blind recesses that were seen in all locations except anterolateral to the frontal ostium. Openings of adjacent pneumatized middle turbinates were often posteromedial to the frontal ostium. Agger nasi cells were present in at least 86%, opening lateral to frontal ostium.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Frontal outflow tract mapping by virtual endoscopy and knowledge of the ostial configurations will help surgeons perform more efficient and accurate surgery particularly for minimally invasive approaches including balloon dilation.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.2500\/ajra.2010.24.3500","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2010,9,23]],"date-time":"2010-09-23T00:00:21Z","timestamp":1285200021000},"page":"378-384","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":24,"title":["Three-Dimensional CT Reconstruction and Virtual Endoscopic Study of the Ostial Orientations of the Frontal Recess"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"24","author":[{"given":"Ligy","family":"Thomas","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Ear, Nose, and Throat, University Hospital, Aintree, Fazakerley, Liverpool, United Kingdom"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"John F.","family":"Pallanch","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Ear, Nose, and Throat, Mayo Clinic, Rochester, Minnesota"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2010,9,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-ajra.2010.24.3500","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2500\/ajr.2008.22.3240"},{"key":"bibr2-ajra.2010.24.3500","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.otohns.2007.02.006"},{"key":"bibr3-ajra.2010.24.3500","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/MOO.0b013e3282f5e955"},{"key":"bibr4-ajra.2010.24.3500","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"ZuckerKandlE (Ed).
