introduction the maxillary sinuses are the first sinuses form in the embryonic period and begin to be pneumatized from 4 th year of life. sinusitis is a common disease in children and its on–time diagnosis and treatment is very important to prevent relevant side effects. unfortunately, in some medical centers waters' radiography is routinely prescribed for the diagnosis of sinusitis, regardless...

This study aims at identifying the prevalence of multiple variants in CT of paranasal sinuses(PNS) done in our institution and to find out correlation to sinusitis if any. A retrospective analysis of 200 cases (100 in sinusitis group and 100 in asymptomatic group) of CT PNS was done at our institution. The prevalence of variants including those with surgical importance were studied. Comparison ...

The authors describe a prospective pilot study designed to investigate the use of topical nasal antifungal spray in addition to systemic steroids and itraconazole in the treatment of allergic fungal sinusitis. Sixteen patients with a history of allergic fungal sinusitis were given fluconazole nasal spray and followed for 3 months. Stabilization or improvement of disease without significant side...

Purpose: To determine the relationship between the dental root indentation and maxillary sinusitis. Methods: We assessed the records of the patients who underwent paranasal sinus computed tomography imaging for suspected sinusitis. Results: We identified a total of 52 patients with a pre-diagnosis of maxillary sinusitis. Dental indentation was detected in 58 of 104 (55.7%) sinuses. Forty six of...

Aspergillus sinusitis is an infection that can cause high mortality without appropriate treatment. The infection is not only found in immunocompromised patients, but also in immunocompetent patients. Management approaches to Aspergillus sinusitis include surgical debridement and intravenous or oral antifungal agents, including traditional intravenous amphotericin B. Here we describe a case of A...

Acute visual loss may occur in association with sinusitis either as a complication of orbital cellulitis or, less frequently, as a part of the orbital apex syndrome. We describe two cases of temporary monocular visual loss caused by sinusitis. In one case the visual loss was due to orbital cellulitis; while in the other patient it was due to incompletely developed orbital apex syndrome. This la...

Methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is increasingly being described as a cause of acute sinusitis. We present a patient with acute MRSA sinusitis complicated by rapid intracranial extension, marginal vancomycin susceptibility (MIC = 2 mg/L), delayed drainage of intracranial abscess, and subsequent development of rifampin resistance. Given the relatively high risk of intracranial ...

PURPOSE To report a case of pansinusitis after swimming in a common pool. CASE REPORT Acute sinusitis is ranked the fifth-most common indication for antibiotic prescriptions.2 Although sinusitis is often diagnosed clinically, cases that are resistant to conventional antibiotic therapy or recurrent cases may require diagnostic imaging in order to confirm the diagnosis. The complications of sin...

Yellow nail syndrome (YNS) is characterized by yellowish nails, lymphedema, sinusitis, and pulmonary involvement and can be triggered by various underlying conditions, such as sinusitis or titanium exposure from an artificial joint or dental implant. Since YNS is potentially treatable, its timely diagnosis is important. The authors recently experienced a case of YNS in a patient who developed s...
