QUICK-REVISION MNEMONICS
-
7 bones of lateral wall: "Naughty Foxes Like Eating Inferior Piece of Meat" = Nasal, Frontal process of Maxilla, Lacrimal, Ethmoid, Inferior turbinate, Palatine, Medial pterygoid
-
Meatus drainage: "Is Mary Sitting Spilling?" = Inferior=nasolacrimal, Middle=anterior sinuses (Maxillary/Frontal/Ant.Ethmoid), Superior=posterior Ethmoid, Sphenoethmoidal=Sphenoid
-
CHARGE syndrome (Choanal Atresia): Coloboma, Heart, Atresia choanae, Retardation, Genital, Ear
-
Keros types: "1-3-4-7-8-16" (Type I: 1-3 mm; Type II: 4-7 mm; Type III: 8-16 mm)
-
Congenital nasal masses: "DGE" = Dermoid (most common), Glioma (no CNS), Encephalocele (CNS connection)
