Sinusitis

It is treated pharmaceuticalsIn the event that the patient does not respond to medication the Sinusitis is treated with endoscopic surgery.

 The patient he stays one night in the Hospital and has fast recovery.

The mouth of the sinus antrum is opened after removal of the ethmoid hook (the door of the sinus) and drainage of the empyema in order to preserve the normal function of the sinus fringes.

Sinusitis is inflammation of the paranasal cavities, which may be due to infection, allergy, or autoimmune diseases.

On each side of the head there are four persistent paranasal cavities, which communicate with the nasal cavity and are covered by mucous membrane.

They are divided into two groups:

•  Anterior cavities (maxillary and frontal sinuses and anterior ethmoid sinuses) draining into the middle nasal duct
• Posterior cavities (posterior ethmoid sinuses and sphenoid sinus) drain into the superior sinus and sphenoethmoid foramen. 

Sinus Cavity

The sinus cavity or otherwise the maxillary sinus is the largest and is located inside the upper jaw. Its upper wall corresponds to the eye socket, the lower to the alveolar process of the maxilla, and the medial to the corresponding nasal chamber. It is the only one that is fully formed by the age of 7. The contents of the sinuses drain into the middle nasal passage.

An empyema is the collection of pus in a cavity of the human body.

Antrum sinus empyema – acute and chronic sinusitis is inflammation of the paranasal sinuses accompanied by a thick nasal discharge that is usually green in color and may contain pus (pus) and/or blood.

Symptoms:

• Headache
• Facial pain
• A dull, steady feeling of pressure or pain is located above the affected sinuses.

The pain worsens when the patient lies down, often starting on one side of the head and spreading to both sides

Symptoms are more acute when it comes to chronic sinusitis.
