Figure 8: Individual anatomical relation of the posterior wall of the maxillary sinus in the frontal plane (depicted in yellow) and branches of the sphenopalatine a. supplying the interior turbinate (depicted in red) (refer to: [150, 654]). The diagram illustrates that generous fenestration of the maxillary sinus in the middle nasal meatus inevitably will cause relevant bleeding in some cases.
