Overview
- Between 3700 and 1500 BC, the paranasal sinuses were first identified by the ancient Egyptians. The Egyptians are considered to be the first in discovering sinus surgery because when mummifying a human body, they would remove the brain through the nasal cavity.
- Hippocrates later described the process of producing voice as "air passing through empty cavities", which referred to the paranasal sinuses. He also documented in his writings about nasal polyps and how to remove them.
- In 1489, Leonardo Da Vinci was the first to illustrate the maxillary sinuses and their relationship with the teeth of the upper jaw.
- In 1905, the first paper in literature was found on suppurative frontal sinusitis.
