Accessory Sinuses of the Nose

"The Accessory Sinuses of the Nose" is a comprehensive medical treatise exploring the anatomy, pathology, and treatment of the paranasal sinuses. Written by Ross Hall Skillern, this work serves as an exhaustive reference for the clinical study of the maxillary, frontal, ethmoid, and sphenoid sinuses. The text covers the developmental anatomy of these cavities, their physiological functions, and the various diseases that afflict them, ranging from acute inflammations to chronic complications.

Skillern details diagnostic procedures, including the use of transillumination and radiography, alongside surgical interventions and medicinal therapies. The work provides meticulous observations on the complications of sinus disease, such as orbital and intracranial involvements, making it a pivotal historical text in the field of otorhinolaryngology. This volume remains a significant contribution to medical literature, reflecting the evolution of rhinology and the foundational techniques used in the diagnosis and treatment of sinus disorders. Its clear organization and clinical focus offer valuable insights into the historical development of head and neck surgery, emphasizing its importance as a cornerstone of early 20th-century medical science.
