of using the data for clinical application in TURBINATES + L E N'G T H<br />

the use of a modified cannula specifically designed 1. Inferior<br />

MATERIALS<br />
AND METHODS<br />
Filipino adult cadavers from the Department of<br />
Anatomy, UP College of Medicine were studied paying INFERIOR MEATUS:<br />
particular attention to the lateral nasal wall. Sagittal<br />
skull sections were clone as well as coronal sections Distance of the nasolacrimal duct ostium to the<br />
when needed. Actual measurements were made using anterior portion of the inferior concha: ram.<br />
a Vernier caliper and recorded on the prepared<br />
observation sheets (see Appendix I). Anatomic Diameteroftheostium: ram.<br />
variations observed were likewise noted. Data were<br />
recorded and analyzed using a microstat computer<br />
Variations in the size, shape and position of the<br />
program (IBM). Measurements on the left side were opening of the nasolacrimal duct:<br />
compared with the eight to note any significant<br />
difference.<br />
RESULTS<br />
Table 1 shows the measurements of the different<br />
anatomic structures in the lateral nasal wall in this<br />
study (Figures 1, 2, and 3). ....'...... .: .....', ."/i, ': '_ ....' "<br />
