Morphometric analysis of the uncinate processes of the cervical vertebrae.
Although the classic description of SSS includes enophthalmos, cases with lateralized

The
uncinate processes at C5-6 could not be evaluated.
The screamers are a peculiar group in the Aves Class, because their bony adaptations (and therefore, muscular adaptations), the absence of

In those patients whose disease persists--without any signs of scarring, recirculation, retained
uncinate processes, or otherwise incomplete surgery--the CL procedure has proven to be effective.
Polypoid
uncinate processes as shown in these cases can best be excised with a microdebrider, which readily reveals hidden pathology in the ethmoid infundibulum by its simultaneous suctioning and cutting actions.
