Definition:Groove between maxillary prominence and lateral nasal process.
Comment:On the nasal surface of the body of the maxilla, in front of the opening of the sinus is a deep groove, the lacrimal groove (or lacrimal sulcus), which is converted into the nasolacrimal canal, by the lacrimal bone and inferior nasal concha; this canal opens into the inferior meatus of the nose and transmits the nasolacrimal duct[WP] See also: oblique facial cleft
Synonyms:exact_synonym: naso-lacrimal groove
 related_synonym: s. lacrimalis maxillae
