The aim of the present study is to analyse the anatomical structure of the nasal cavity of ostrich (Struthio
camelus). Twelve heads of adult ostriches of both sex were used. The anatomical description were one
by using of normal anatomical dissection of the samples and making several transverse and sagittal
sections through the nasal cavity. In addition computed tomography (CT) images were taken to whole
head for more investigation and correlate the results of CT scan with that of anatomical sections. The
obtained results showed that the nostrils of ostrich are unique as they had nither operculum at entance
nor fearhers. The nasal conchae were observed with will developed middle one which also showed more
complex scroll in CT images. Nasal gland and infraorbital sinus; related to the nasal cavity also
descriped in this study. The obtained result discussed with previous literatures to gave a reliable
explanation to the anatomical structure which help to understand disease and possible treatments of the
upper respiratory tract in ostrich
