Introduction: The close relationship between diseases of the paranasal sinuses system and the orbit is based on their anatomical relationship. About 60% to 80% of the osseous eye socket is made up by sinus walls. Objective: To describe evaluation of orbital complications in patient with paranasal sinuses diseases at Dr. M. Djamil Hospital Padang for 2005-2014. Method: Descriptive study we obtai...

The prevalence of radiological criteria of chronic sinus infection was compared in 42 cases of clinically definite or laboratory supported definite multiple sclerosis and 84 controls. No increase in relative risk of multiple sclerosis associated with the presence of chronic sinus infection was observed (odds ratio 1.2, 95% CI 0.5 to 3.1). The maxillary sinus was infected more often than the oth...

This paper reports a case of septic cavernous sinus thrombosis following a chronic ear infection and paranasal sinusitis. The diagnosis and management of this condition are discussed.

A very low incidence of complications of rehabilitating jaw with implant therapy ismigration of dental implants into maxillary sinus. Implant migration into the maxillary sinus may be followed by sign of infection and oroantral communication. This way, paranasal sinus function will be appearing altered after the implant migration and hence implant removal is utmost important.

Objective. To investigate the clinical features of paranasal sinus osteomas and to estimate the growth rate of these tumors in a large series of patients. Design. Case series with chart review. Setting. University hospital, tertiary referral center. Subjects and Methods. The authors retrospectively reviewed the paranasal sinus tomography scans that were taken between January 1997 and April 2008...

A pneumocele is an abnormal dilatation of a paranasal sinus, most commonly affecting the frontal sinus. Although the etiology of pneumocele is not entirely known, several causative factors have been suggested including trauma, surgery, tumor and infection. We report here a case of post-traumatic pneumocele of the frontal sinus following a head trauma.

introduction a mucocele is an epithelial-lined, mucus-containing sac that can fill the sinus completely and expand gradually. mucopyocele is an infected mucocele. case report we presented a case of left maxillary mucopyocele in a 58-year-old man that developed after radiotherapy for nasopharyngeal carcinoma. computed tomography scan showed opacification of the left maxillary sinus expanding thr...

Although a variety of theories have been proposed about functions of the paranasal sinuses, not one is clear today. Nonetheless, paranasal sinus-related diseases are associated with a high rate of morbidities. Therefore, it is essential to identify the structure and pathophysiology of the paranasal sinuses. Computed tomography (CT) is a valuable tool displaying anatomic variations and diseases....

Infections involving paranasal sinuses and nasal cavities is one of the common public health problem in all age groups. Functional endoscopic sinus surgery has revolutionized in the treatment of sinusitis. MDCT has been the most ideal investigation in the assessment of paranasal sinuses especially in the identification of various anatomical variations that predispose to development of sinus inf...

Paranasal sinus anatomical anomalies with unknown etiology are common. Paranasal sinus–related diseases are associated with so high rate of morbidities, it becomes essential to identify the structure and pathophysiology of the paranasal sinuses. Computed tomography (CT) is a valuable tool in displaying its anatomy, any anatomic variations and diseases. As paranasal sinus development is a comple...
