Sumario:Accessory maxillary ostium (AMO) is one of the anatomical variations in the maxillary sinus. It can be present in different sizes, shapes, and locations. We here reported a case of a rare variation of AMO with large size in a patient with chronic rhinosinusitis. It is important to identify the presence of AMO especially in patients with chronic rhinosinusitis as it can lead to mucus recirculation and disease persistence.
