Ohngren’s line is a line joining the medial canthus of the eye with the angle of the mandible.
It divides the maxillary sinus into two components: suprastructure (superolateral) and infrastructure (inferomedial).
The location as well as extent of tumor (maxillary carcinoma) has prognostic significance.
Tumors involving the suprastructure of the maxillary antrum have a worse prognosis than those involving the infrastructure.

The maxillary sinus is the largest of the paranasal sinuses and is located in the maxilla, lateral to the nasal cavity and inferior to the orbit.
The maxillary sinus opens into the posterior aspect of the hiatus semilunaris in the middle meatus.
The infraorbital nerve (CN V-2) primarily innervates the maxillary sinus.

The lacrimal gland lies in the superolateral corner of the orbit.
Tears drain from the eyeball, via the nasolacrimal duct, into the inferior nasal meatus of the nasal cavity.
