Frontal sinus aplasia is defined as the absence of frontal bone pneumatization with no ethmoid cells extending above a line tangential to the supraorbital margin (horizontal line).
The frontal sinuses are pockets of space located above the orbit of each eye in the frontal bone.

The ethmoidal sinuses or ethmoidal air cells of the ethmoid bone are one of the four paired paranasal sinuses.
Two large frontal sinuses are located above your eyes and in your forehead. Two sphenoid and two ethmoid sinuses are set between your eyes and behind your nose. The largest two sinuses are the maxillary sinuses, and they are positioned under your eyes and behind your cheeks.
