Are Chronic Rhinosinusitis and Paranasal Sinus Pneumatization Related?
The relationship between paranasal sinus pneumatization and chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) without cystic fibrosis is not well understood. Previous investigations have confirmed sinus hypoplasia in cystic fibrosis (CF) patients. This study compares paranasal sinus pneumatization of CRS patients to unaffected controls to determine if there is an analogous effect to that seen in CF. 591 sinus compu...
متن کاملMucosal contact points and paranasal sinus pneumatization: Does radiology predict headache causality?
OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS The goal of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of mucosal contact points (MCP), concha bullosa (CB), and variable paranasal sinus (PNS) volumes among patients sent for rhinogenic headache workup as compared with controls. STUDY DESIGN Retrospective study with case and control groups. METHODS Fifty-three adults with clear PNS computed tomography (CT) scans were i...
متن کاملArrested pneumatization: witness of paranasal sinuses development?
OBJECTIVES Recent radiological studies have demonstrated that formation of the sphenoid sinus is preceded by a phase of fatty transformation of the bone marrow, and then by a phase of fat involution prior to the appearance of an aerated cavity and that this process can sometimes be interrupted, resulting in the persistence of images of arrested pneumatisation. The objective of the study was to ...
متن کاملActinomycosis of the paranasal sinus.
OBJECTIVE To report clinical characteristics and treatment outcomes of actinomycosis of the paranasal sinus. STUDY DESIGN Retrospective review. SUBJECTS AND METHODS The medical records of six patients with actinomycosis of the paranasal sinus between 1998 and 2006 were analyzed. RESULTS There were no immunocompromised patients and all lesions were unilateral. Only one patient had a histor...
متن کاملParanasal sinus mucocele.
Mucocele of the paranasal sinuses is a distinct clinicopathologic entity in which there is obstruction of the sinus cavity outflow tract, resulting in expansion of the sinus walls. The histologic features are quite nonspecific, requiring clinical, radiologic, and pathologic correlation. Most of these lesions result from increased pressure in the sinus due to sinus outlet obstruction, usually as...
