The article is dedicated to the investigation of frontal sinus connection variants with adjacent cavities and the frequency of their detection based on computer tomography data. It has been established that most frequently, frontal sinuses have connections with the ethmoidal cells and the superior nasal meatus (97.5% in both cases), somewhat less frequently with the middle nasal meatus (82.5%), and least commonly between each other (17.5%). In women, frontal sinuses more frequently connect with the superior nasal meatus compared to men. All other connection variants are visualized more frequently in men than in women. The connection of frontal sinuses between men is 2.5 times more frequent than in women (25% in men and 10% in women). The difference in the frequency of detecting other connection variants of frontal sinuses with adjacent cavities is insignificant and does not exceed 5%. In 5% of examined individuals, frontal sinuses have only one connection; in all other cases, there are multiple connections with different structures and in various combinations. Most frequently (67.5%), frontal sinuses have connections simultaneously with the ethmoidal labyrinth, the superior nasal meatus, and the middle nasal meatus.
