The International Frontal Sinus Anatomy Classification (IFAC) system was developed as a consensus document, based on expert opinion , aempting to address this issue. The purposes of this study are to: establish the reliability of the IFAC as a tool for classifying cells in the frontal recess among an international group of rhinologists; and improve communication and teaching of frontal endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS).
