Purpose: The aim of this work is Measuring Dimensions of maxillary sinus in different age groups, Detect Difference between the size of the right and left maxillary sinuses in relation with the age & Gender-related differences in maxillary sinuses. Patients and Methods: This study included 140 normal egyptian individuals had undergone mandatory head CT examination for other reasons. Results: After statistical analysis of the results , we found that age showed a significant positive correlation with right and left maxillary sinus volumes (p < 0.001) among studied subjects.
