Background: The distance between the anterior wall of the maxillary sinus and the nasolacrimal duct shows a large individual variation.

Methodology: To evaluate the feasibility of accessing the maxillary sinus through a prelacrimal window access (PLWA), a series of 100 paranasal CT scans from adult patients was analysed retrospectively. The distance between the anterior maxillary wall and the anterior border of the lacrimal duct (= prelacrimal window) were measured in 200 sides.
