Septa sinuum frontalium

Definition

Andréa Lopes da Costa

The septa of the frontal sinuses (or median interfrontal septum or mediofrontal septum) is the median separation between the homologous frontal sinuses.

Variation:

In ruminants, small communications may exist between the two sinuses at the level of the nuchal fossa.
