Imaging of complicated frontal sinusitis
Complications occur in 3% of the cases of frontal sinusitis. These are mainly oculo-orbital, intracranial and osteomyelitis. Our aim is to describe the contribution of different imaging modalities in the diagnosis of these complications and their post-treatment monitoring. within a 15 years period (2000-2014), 10 patients with complicated frontal sinusitis were included into this retrospective ...
متن کاملBacteriology of acute and chronic frontal sinusitis.
Aspirates of 15 acutely and 13 chronically infected frontal sinuses were processed for aerobic and anaerobic bacteria. A total of 20 isolates (1.3 per specimen) were recovered from the 15 cases of acute frontal sinusitis, 16 aerobic and facultative isolates (1.1 per specimen) and 4 anaerobic isolates (0.3 per specimen). Aerobic and facultative organisms alone were recovered in 13 specimens (87%...
متن کاملOrbital Sarcoidosis Masquerading as Acute Frontal Sinusitis
Sarcoidosis is a chronic systemic disease that rarely manifests within the sinuses or orbit. A 65-yearold female presented with 2 weeks of eye proptosis and forehead pressure. A computed tomography scan revealed frontal sinus opacification. The initial diagnosis of orbital cellulitis secondary to frontal sinus infection was made but symptoms returned after medical therapy. Biopsy of preaponeuro...
متن کاملMultiplanar computed tomographic analysis of frontal recess cells: effect on frontal isthmus size and frontal sinusitis.
BACKGROUND Frontal recess anatomy can be very complex, with accessory cells such as frontal, agger nasi, and intersinus septal cells encroaching on the frontal recess and possibly contributing to obstruction of the frontal sinus. In this study, we determined the prevalence of these cells and their relationship to frontal sinusitis in patients who have (revision group) and have not (primary grou...
متن کاملUltrasound in the diagnosis of maxillary and frontal sinusitis.
Sinus ultrasound (3 MHz ultrasound wave) is ideal for detecting maxillary and frontal sinusitis as it propagates well through bone, soft tissues and fluids but not through air. Ultrasound is sent towards the bony back wall of a sinus cavity and the reflected echoes correlate to the depth of the tissue boundaries. A healthy sinus cavity, containing only air, reflects from the anterior wall of th...
