Abstract

The main anatomical features of the frontal and maxillary sinuses in horse (Equus caballus), mule (Equus hinnus) and in donkey (Equus asinus africanus) were completely described. The shape, capacity, bony boundaries, as well as, the suitable site for trephining in relation to the obtained topographic anatomical results were focused upon. As the radiological studies of the paranasal sinuses are considered to be an essential aid for both research work, as well as, for diagnosis, radiographic pictures of the before mentioned two sinuses in the Family Equidae were obtained. The study includes also the suitable positions and the correct factors for the best radiographic examination.
