Abstract
Aplasia or hypoplasia of the uncinate process is associated with maxillary sinus aplasia or hypoplasia. It is of particular clinical importance to rec ognize the presence of normal or abnormal uncinate processes in patients wh o will undergo surgical procedures for paranasal sinus diseases. In this re port, we present a case of aplasia of bilateral uncinate processes. discuss the variations of uncinate processes, and review related literature. (C) 2 001 Elsevier Science Ireland Ltd.
