UNLABELLED BACKGROUND Sinusitis is an inflammation of the paranasal sinuses that can be caused by anatomic variations of the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses. In this study we aimed to find the relationship between sinusitis and septal deviation (SeD) and concha bullosa. METHODS Two trained resident of ENT evaluated sinus CT scans of 463 cases presenting with nasal obstruction or chronic...

Sinusitis is inflammation of the sinuses, which are air-filled cavities in the skull This inflammation leads to blockade of the normal sinus drainage pathways which in turn leads to mucus retention, hypoxia, decreased mucociliary clearance, and predisposition to bacterial growth it is characterized by headache Postnasal drip Face and eye pain Pain over the bridge of the nose sometimes tinged wi...

Clinical experience has suggested the existence of an intermediate form of fungal sinusitis between the categories of non-invasive fungal sinusitis (non-IFS) and invasive fungal sinusitis (IFS). This fungal sinusitis variant demonstrates unhealthy mucosa by endoscopy with fungal invasion, but lacks angioinvasion microscopically, representing what clinically behaves as a 'pre-invasive' subtype o...

The objective of this study was to determine the prevalence of concha bullosa and nasal septal deviation and their potential relationships to maxillary sinusitis. 883 CT scans taken at Creighton University School of Dentistry from 2005 to 2008 were retrospectively reviewed for the presence of concha bullosa, nasal septal deviation, and maxillary sinusitis. 67.5% of patients exhibited pneumatiza...

Statistically, more than 50% of people with moderate to severe asthma also have chronic sinusitis indicating a direct connection between sinusitis and asthma; many studies show the connection between sinus infections and asthma [3]. One 2006 study showed that when compared with those who only have asthma, people who have both sinusitis and asthma tend to have more severe asthma symptoms, may ha...
