The Nasal Sinus Anterior Point is located at which site?

Chapman reflex points map visceral structures to surface locations used in diagnosis and treatment; the nasal sinus anterior point is one of these anterior points. It sits in the infraclavicular region, at the crossing where the first rib meets the clavicle. This placement aligns with how anterior nasal sinus points are distributed on the chest wall and makes it a convenient, accessible site for palpation and treatment to influence nasal mucosa and sinus drainage. The other described sites correspond to different reflex points (for example, a posterior nasal sinus point is typically on the upper surface of the second rib), so the infraclavicular location at the crossing of the first rib best matches the nasal sinus anterior point.
