The increased incidence of mucormycosis in post covid-19 is due to steroid induced diabetes mellitus. commonest presentation acute invasive fungal sinusitis involving maxillary sinus most commonly followed by invasion local soft tissues and bone structures. It also involves orbit brain extending from sinuses. Mandible has no direct communication with any the para nasal sinuses involvement extre...

A 65 years old diabetic female, presented with swelling of left eye and multiple discharging sinuses near the inner canthus eye. She had a history recent COVID-19 infection was treated steroids. The pus from peri-orbital sinuses, in KOH stain showed presence broad, non-septate, right-angle branching fungal filaments. An early microbiological diagnosis Mucormycosis, based on direct smear finding...

We report the case of a 57-year-old male who presented with recurrent sinus infections and frequent nasal irrigation. He was found at nasal endoscopy to have multiple outgrowths along his ethmoid and maxillary sinuses. Computed tomography (CT) showed multiple bony exostoses along these sinuses. We report the imaging findings of exostoses associated with sinonasal irrigation.

In normal upper airways, nitric oxide is generated by the paranasal sinus epithelium and then diffuses into the nasal cavities. This study examined whether or not nasal NO concentration is affected by paranasal sinus inflammatory diseases. The influence of obstruction (nasal polyposis) and/or inflammation (allergy or chronic sinusitis) of the paranasal sinuses on nasal NO concentration was eval...

UNLABELLED The anatomical relation between the maxillary sinus and the nasolacrimal duct has gained greater importance with the advent of microsurgeries and endoscopic-assisted sinonasal procedures, and the growing use of endonasal surgery to perform middle meatus procedures and transnasal dacryocystorhinostomy. We did not find reports on maxillary sinus classification concerning its lacrimal r...

OBJECTIVE Craniofacial deformities (CFDs) frequently accompany midfacial hypoplasia. The authors evaluated characteristics of maxillary sinuses that had CFDs with variable degrees of midfacial hypoplasia. STUDY DESIGN Cross-sectional survey with chart review. SETTING Department of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Severance Hospital, Yonsei University College of Medicine, Seoul, Republic ...

Anatomical variations of the frontal sinuses that may play a role in the correlation between frontal sinusitis and orbital complications are described. There were used 18 cadavers during routine educational cadaver dissections, one month after theirs withdrawal from the formol basin. The dissections of the cranial cavity and the orbits were performed so as to reveal the frontal sinuses. An unus...
