Figure 5. Posterior nasal septum resection.

Figure 5

The posterior part of the nasal septum was removed, and while carefully visualizing the left sphenoid sinus, the right sphenoid sinus was treated. The prominence of the internal carotid artery was identified posteriorly to the left sphenoid sinus, and this was established as the posterior limit.

R-SS: right sphenoid sinus; L-SS: left sphenoid sinus; NS: nasal septum
