Introduction. Complications can occur as a consequence of both acute and chronic sinusitis. Most frequently complications are caused by acute ethmoiditis or frontal sinusitis. The complications of paranasal sinusitis are divided into intraorbital, intracranial and osteomyelitis. The children with complications of paranasal sinusitis require hospitalization, treatment with combined intravenous a...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Streptococcus pneumoniae is a major cause of pneumonia and sinusitis. Pneumonia kills >1 million children annually, and sinusitis is a potentially serious pediatric disease that increases the risk of orbital and intracranial complications. Although pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV) is effective against invasive pneumococcal disease, its effectiveness against pneumoni...

background and objective: sinusitis is one of the most common hygienic problems and a large part of the budget has been allocated to its diagnosis and treatment yearly. in this study, the presence of cytomegalovirus in sinuses of patients, undergone operation for treatment, with or without sinusitis, was studied. materials and methods: this study was an applied and case-control study, which had...

Background Sinusitis is a common diagnosis that can be erroneously associated with routine weather-related barometric pressure changes. In actuality, these changes likely exacerbate migraine headaches, which cause facial pain and rather than true sinus inflammation. Objective The present study sought to characterize the representation of both sinusitis in association across websites on Internet...

OBJECTIVE To identify and evaluate the frequency of the different odontogenic conditions that may lead to maxillary sinusitis. STUDY DESIGN An observational and retrospective meta-analysis was carried out on 770 cases of maxillary sinusitis obtained from a literature review of 15 articles. RESULTS Maxillary sinusitis most commonly manifests itself as chronic maxillary sinusitis. It is more ...

OBJECTIVES We aimed to identify the functional abnormality of sinusitis-affected mucosa by observing the responsiveness of the mucosa to purinergic stimulation after the onset of sinusitis and during the recovery period. We also aimed to identify possible beneficial effects of purinergic agonists on sinusitis. METHODS A rabbit sinusitis model was developed by blocking maxillary ostia. Sinus m...
