Paranasal sinuses are a group of four paired air-filled spaces that surround the nasal cavity ( maxillary sinuses ), above and between the eyes ( ethmoid sinuses and frontal sinuses ), and behind the ethmoids ( sphenoid sinuses ). The sinuses are named for the facial bones behind which they are located.
