Sinuses are air filled cavities that surround the nasal cavity. They clean the air that is breathed in by the nose.
Sinuses are hollow spots inside your skull. They are connected and although the reason we have them is unknown, we need them to breathe.

How about cavity?
dural sinuses, cerebral sinuses, or cranial sinuses
Paranasal sinuses are a group of four air-filled spaces. Maxillary sinuses surround the nasal cavity, frontal sinuses are above the eyes, ethmoid sinuses are between the eyes and sphenoid sinuses are behind the eyes.
The sinuses: paranasal sinuses are a group of four paired air-filled spaces that surround the nasal cavity (maxillary sinuses), above the eyes (frontal sinuses), between the eyes (ethmoidal sinuses), and behind the ethmoids (sphenoidal sinuses).
The paranasal sinuses (which surround the nose) are found in the following bones: frontal, ethmoid, sphenoid, and maxillary. The maxillary sinuses are the largest of all sinuses. There are also sinuses found near the mastoid process of the temporal bone called the mastoid sinuses. The mastoid sinuses communicates with the inner ear, whereas the paranasal sinuses communicate with the nasal cavity.
The frontal sinuses housed in the frontal bone are the largest sinuses.The maxillary sinuses are the second largest.
Sinuses
If you have a headache just about your eyes, it is very likely that it is your sinuses. Sinus pressure can be very painful.
The sinuses are paired air pockets located within the bones of the face. They are: the ethmoid sinuses; located between the eyes, just behind the bridge of the nose.
The superior sagittal sinus, straight sinus, and right and left transverse sinuses meet in a structure known as the confluence of the sinuses
The medical term for inflammation of all the sinuses is pansinusitis. It refers to the inflammation of all the paranasal sinuses in the body.
