Extractions: by Noreen Henig, MD Introduction Anatomically, the lungs can be thought of as the "lower respiratory tract" while the nares and sinuses can be thought of as the "upper respiratory tract." By evaluating the respiratory tract as one continuous structure, it becomes easier to understand the underlying pathophysiology and treatment of sinus disease in CF. The Sinuses in Cystic Fibrosis The true incidence of sinusitis in CF is not known, but the great majority of patients with CF develop sinus symptoms, usually between the ages of 5 and 14 years. Symptoms of sinus disease include: Adolescents and adults are more likely than children to report headaches, and headaches are often unresponsive to typical headache remedies. Acute sinusitis is the term applied when symptoms become severe, but in reality, patients with cystic fibrosis always have chronic sinusitis. Figure 2:

Glossary General Info about Sinusitis Sinuses are air chambers in the facial bone behind our cheeks, eyebrows and jaws. Each sinus has an opening into the nose for the free exchange of air and mucus, and each is joined with the nasal passages by a continuous sheet of thin membrane lining it and is kept moist by secretion called mucus. The sinuses function to lighten the skull and improve the quality of the voice. Sinusitis is an inflammation of the mucous membrane that line the sinus cavities. Sinusitis is one of the most common medical problems affecting approximately 30% of the population at some point. Acute sinusitis commonly follows a cold and typically lasts for up to three weeks. If it continues to trouble an individual after three weeks it becomes defined as a chronic sinusitis.

ANATOMY: There are eight paranasal sinuses, four on each side of the midline. They are the paired frontal, ethmoidal (anterior and posterior), maxillary and sphenoidal sinuses. They are lined with a pseudostratisfied columnar (respiratory) epithelium which is continuous with the nasal mucosa. The lining provides a mucous secretion which traps bacteria and subsequently extrudes the mucous and bacteria through the sinus ostia to be swallowed or expectorated. Under normal conditions, the sinuses are air filled and communicate directly with the nasal passages through patent ostia.

Leggett, MD VOL 115 / NO 1 / JANUARY 2004 / POSTGRADUATE MEDICINE CME learning objectives The author discloses no financial interests in this article. He discloses an unlabeled use of azithromycin and clarithromycin. Preview : Winter is typically a time when patients flock to their primary care physician seeking an antibiotic for a suspected sinus infection. But is antibiotic treatment appropriate in all cases? In this article, Dr Leggett examines available study data regarding the reliability of diagnostic predictors of acute sinusitis and the value of antimicrobial therapy on patient outcomes. He also offers an appropriate approach to treatment of sinusitis based on duration and severity of symptoms. Leggett JE. Acute sinusitis: whenand when notto prescribe antibiotics. Postgrad Med 2004;115(1):13-9 A cute sinusitis (more accurately termed acute rhinosinusitis ) is one of the 10 most common diagnoses in ambulatory practice (1-3). Each year in the United States, sinusitis is diagnosed in one in six adults, and the actual incidence may be even higher, because up to 20% of affected persons may not seek medical care (1). The incidence appears to be highest in the Midwest and the South, and it peaks in the fall, winter, and spring (1).

Extractions: A 35-year-old man was brought to the hospital after sustaining injuries associated with the tsunami in Southeast Asia on December 26, 2004. The patient had inhaled seawater when he nearly drowned. In addition, he had sustained multiple injuries, including a scalp laceration and torn right anterior cruciate and medial collateral ligaments. He had sinus discomfort but no difficulty breathing. Computed tomographic scanning showed fluid and opaque material in the ethmoid (Panel A, arrowhead), maxillary (Panel B, arrowhead), and sphenoid sinuses (Panel C, arrowhead). (For comparison, normally aerated sinuses from another patient can be seen in the Supplementary Appendix , available with the full text of this article at www.nejm.org.) The patient underwent bilateral antral washout, during which green-colored purulent material and sand were removed. Culture of material obtained from the maxillary sinuses showed
