It is imperative for all imaging specialists to be familiar with detailed multiplanar computed tomography imaging anatomy of the paranasal sinuses and adjacent structures. This article reviews, in brief, the radiologically relevant embryology of the sinonasal region and discusses the imaging anatomy of the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses. Radiologists should understand the importance and clinical implications of identifying the numerous anatomic variations encountered in this region and prepare a structured report that provides a surgical road map to the referring clinician.

Temporal bone anatomy is highly complex, with a complicated configuration of minute anatomic structures housed in a dense osseous structure. Nevertheless, a robust understanding of this anatomy is essential for clinicians, who must accurately diagnose and describe the various pathologies that exist in this region. In this article, we provide a comprehensive overview of temporal bone anatomy, ranging from its large components to its smallest foramina, canals, and clefts.

The spinal cord is an elegant structure that serves as a conduit for the transfer of information between the brain and the peripheral nervous system. To enable the reader to understand its complex microstructural anatomy, we have created a detailed yet approachable anatomic reference for clinicians. We review gross and structural features of the spinal cord, its coverings, and nerves while also discussing spinal cord development, microscopic organization, and common anatomic variants. We detail how this anatomy appears on current neuroimaging techniques, with special attention to MR imaging.

ReviewAnatomy of the Mandible, Temporomandibular Joint, and Dentition.
Oral behavior encompasses active movement of the oral structures. The range and quality of oral behavior is essential for establishing and maintaining health and well-being. ⋯ Key hard tissue elements involved in oral behavior include the mandible, temporomandibular joints, and dentition. This article will discuss the anatomy and interaction of the hard tissue elements and selected soft tissue elements associated with oral behavior.

In this article, we discuss the anatomy and development of the face. One should become familiar with the layers, muscles, vessels, and nerves of the face. Embryologic development of the face and supporting structures is also discussed. Additionally, different clinical manifestation of facial paralysis is highlighted.
