http://webits3.appstate.edu/apples/health/Sinusitis/sinusitis.htm

Extractions: Sinusitis is the inflammation of the linings of the sinuses and cavities of the nose. The four pairs of sinus are in the forehead, below and between the eyes and between the back part of the eye sockets. The sinuses and nose make about 1 1/2 pints of mucus a day to moisten, cleanse and warm the air as it goes through the nose to the lungs, to filter pollens and particles from the air, and to make nitrous oxide to keep open the small airways in the lungs. When sinusitis occurs these functions are reduced, an addition to the uncomfortable symptoms associated with it. Health care workers annually report more than 33 million cases of chronic sinusitis to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. It is the most frequently reported chronic illness in the US.
Symptoms

http://webits3.appstate.edu/apples/health/Sinusitis/symptoms.htm

Extractions: Sinusitis symptoms are similar to those of a cold. Colds, however, almost always are completely cured in 10 days to 2 weeks. If the symptoms last longer, they may be caused by sinusitis. Acute sinusitis lasts less than three weeks. Chronic sinusitis lasts more than 3 weeks, and can last for years. Both types of sinusitis, rarely, can lead to other more serious medical problems. e. g. abscess in the eye socket, meningitis. Sinusitis can be caused by allergies, viruses, bacteria, cold air, dry air, fungi, medications and nasal abnormalities. The symptoms are related to the causes, and lead to appropriate treatment. Sinusitis should be evaluated by a doctor. Acute Allergic Sinusitis Sneezing

The case is a hypothetical patient chosen to represent a composite of the usual and most common patients with this specific disorder. Where gender, age or race make a difference, these will be specifically cited. Where they do not make a difference, they may be omitted. The consultation is presented for purposes of general information. Specifics about an individual case and specific treatment must be discussed between the patient and the treating physician. The patient is a young adult referred for evaluation for chronic sinusitis. Doctor : Good morning. What can I do for you today? Patient : I have suffered recurrent sinus infections. My primary care physician has been unable to successfully manage these and has recommended an evaluation to see if you have additional ideas.

http://www.acaai.org/public/advice/sinus.htm

Extractions: Sinusitis A lot of people mistake a particularly bad cold for sinusitis. Many of the symptoms are the same including headache or face pain, a nasty runny nose and nasal congestion. Unlike a cold, some cases of sinusitis are bacterial infections that often require antibiotics. While mild cases of sinusitis may go away without medical intervention, sinusitis also can be serious and can require surgery if left untreated. However, a bad cold won't respond at all to antibiotics. About 31 million people develop sinusitis in the United States each year. Frequently, sinusitis follows an upper respiratory infection or a normal cold. People who have allergies, asthma, physical abnormalities in the nose or sinuses, or a compromised immune system are at a greater risk. What is sinusitis? Sinusitis is an inflammation of the mucous membranes lining the facial sinuses. The inflammation is often caused by a bacterial infection, although viruses and fungi are also implicated. Immunocompromised people can develop bacterial or fungal sinusitis. Some allergic individuals, who are not immunocompromised, can have "allergic fungal sinusitis". Acute sinusitis lasts three to eight weeks. Sinusitis lasting more than eight weeks is considered chronic. The sinuses are air-filled cavities in the skull. Normally, they are lined with a thin layer of mucus that traps dust, germs and other airborne particles. Tiny hairs in the sinuses called cilia sweep the mucus (and whatever is trapped in it) towards openings in the top of the sinuses called ostia. The ostia lead to the back of the throat where mucous slides down to the stomach. This continual process is a normal function of the body.

http://www.umm.edu/ency/article/000647.htm

Extractions: Causes, incidence, and risk factors: There are 4 pairs of sinuses connected to the nasal cavity by small openings called (ostia). Nasal sinuses are small mucous-lined pockets within the facial bones surrounding the nose. Normally, these sinuses make mucus that drains from the sinuses into the nose while air passes freely in and out. Sinusitis (inflammation of the sinuses) occurs when at least one of three conditions is manifest: (1) The small openings (ostia) from the sinuses to the nose are blocked; (2) small hairs (cilia) in the sinuses that help move the normally produced mucous out are not working; and (3) too much mucous is produced, often simply a result of inflammation. Any combination of these may cause sinusitis. Sinusitis affects approximately 3 out of 1,000 people, and develops in approximately 31 million Americans alone each year. Some people never get sinusitis, and others develop sinusitis frequently (especially patients with

http://www.umm.edu/patiented/articles/what_sinusitis_000062_1.htm

Extractions: The sinuses are hollow cavities within the facial bones. Sinuses are not fully developed until after age twelve. When people speak of sinus infections, they are most frequently referring to the maxillary and frontal sinuses. Healthy sinuses are sterile and contain no bacteria. (The nasal passage, on the other hand, normally contains many bacteria that enter through the nostrils.) Maintaining sinus health depends on a cycle that involves a number of important factors and processes: The sinuses are lined with a membrane that secretes mucus, which drains down into the nasal passage from a small channel in each sinus. The mucous membranes must be intact and free of injury.

Complications Of Sinusitis Jay M. Dutton, MD Rush-Presbyterian-St
When sinusitis is managed properly, complications rarely occur. However, insome cases chronic sinusitis may permanently injure these nerve endings.
http://www.american-rhinologic.org/patientinfo.sinusitiscomplications.phtml

Extractions: When sinusitis is managed properly, complications rarely occur. However, because of the close proximity of such structures as the intracranial cavity and the orbit, in certain circumstances these infections may spread and cause life-threatening sequelae. These complications may occur after either acute or chronic infections but do so more commonly after the former. The following list includes many of the potential complications of sinusitis, but is by no means exhaustive: Intracranial Complications - The frontal, ethmoid and sphenoid sinuses are separated from the intracranial cavity by a layer of bone (Figure 1). If the infection passes through this bone it may infect the tissue and fluid that lines the brain, causing "meningitis". In even more severe cases the infection may spread to the brain itself causing an "abscess", or collection of pus. These problems are life threatening and require prompt and aggressive treatment. Orbital Complications - The frontal, maxillary, ethmoid and sphenoid sinuses sit immediately above, below, between and behind the eyes, respectively (Figure 2). For this reason, infections of any of the sinuses may spread to the orbit, causing a wide spectrum of complications from mild inflammation of the eyelid to abscesses with possible blindness.

Extractions: What is Sinusitis? Sinusitis, also referred to as rhinosinusitis, is an inflammation of the sinus membranes that can be caused by a variety of reasons. Depending on the underlying cause, sinusitis can present a variety of symptoms, such as sinus congestion, sinus discharge, sinus pressure, and facial pain or headaches. Sinusitis can be either infectious or non-infectious. A virus or bacteria causes infectious sinusitis, while allergies are often the cause of non-infectious sinusitis. The medical community divides sinusitis into two basic categories: acute or chronic. Chronic sinusitis is defined as sinusitis that persists for at least 12 weeks. Chronic sinusitis sometimes develops because of sinus blockage. The condition affects an estimated 32 million Americans and has become a multi-million-dollar industry for pharmaceutical companies that market symptom-relieving sinus medications.

W hen a common cold has lasted for 7-10 days and is no better or worse, acute bacterial sinusitis may have developed and additional medical care may be required. ( A cute bacterial sinusitis requires antibiotic treatment to reduce the duration of infection and illness and to prevent serious complications such as infection around the eye, bacterial meningitis, and brain abscess. ( ) Chronic sinus disease is thought to be another complication of untreated or inadequately treated acute bacterial sinusitis.
