Abstract
The basal lamella is the third critical anatomical landmark for the endoscopist and the third grand lamella for the anatomist. The horizontal portion may be visualized within the middle meatus below and posterior to the ethmoidal bulla. The vertical portion is sometimes visualized by simple endoscopy at the posterior limit of the hiatus semilunaris posterior. Most of the basal lamella is inside the cell system of the ethmoid labyrinth posterior to the ethmoidal bulla.
