The most frequent location DISEASES OF THE NOSE. 841 Fig. is the sutural line of the vomer and the superior maxilla and cartilaginousseptum just within the anterior nares and close to the floor of the nose (Fig. 8). Necrosing ethmoiditis of Woakes also figures as a persistent cause and com-plication of nasal polypus. It involves the nasal tributaries of the ethmoid bone,especially its process, the middle turbinated body, which usually appears cleftasunder, leaving a fissure down its centre, from which will protrude the is illustrated in Fig. 9, which was taken from a patient, aged twenty years,who had suffered since childhood. Empyema of the antrum of Highmore, althoughrare with children, is also a prolific source of nasalpolypus in adults, apparently caused by the constantpresence of fetid pus in the middle meatus as it escapesfrom the antrum through the hiatus semilunaris.
