Hypoplastic maxillary sinus refers to a condition where the maxillary sinus, located in the cheek area, is underdeveloped or smaller than normal. This can lead to issues such as sinus infections, difficulty with drainage, or other complications related to sinus health. The condition may be congenital or arise from factors such as trauma or chronic nasal obstruction. Diagnosis typically involves imaging studies like CT scans.
