====== Frontal sinus outflow tract ======

The [[frontal sinus]] outflow [[tract]], also known as the frontal sinus drainage pathway, refers to the anatomical [[pathway]] through which the frontal sinuses drain into the [[nasal cavity]]. The frontal sinuses are a part of the [[paranasal sinus]] system and play a role in humidifying and filtering the air we breathe.

The outflow tract is essential for the proper drainage of mucus and secretions from the frontal sinuses into the nasal passages. Any blockage or obstruction in this pathway can lead to sinus-related problems and discomfort. In cases of infection or inflammation, the frontal sinus outflow tract can become blocked, leading to symptoms such as congestion, pain, and pressure in the forehead area.

Treatment for conditions involving the frontal sinus outflow tract may include medical management with decongestants, antibiotics, or surgery to remove blockages or improve drainage.
