Sinusitis: Sinusitis is an acute or chronic inflammation of the nasal sinuses-the hollow cavities found within the cheek bones and near the eyes. The inflammation is usually triggered by inadequate draining due to allergies, infections or structural problems of the nose such as narrow drainage passages or a deviated septum.

Medical Encyclopedia Alternate Names : Acute Sinusitis, Sinus Infection, Sinusitis - Acute Definition Sinusitis refers to inflammation of the sinuses. This is generally caused by a viral, bacterial, or fungal infection. The sinuses are air-filled spaces around the forehead, cheeks, and eyes that are lined with mucous membranes. Healthy sinuses are sterile (meaning that they contain no bacteria or other organisms) and open, allowing mucus to drain and air to circulate in the nasal passages. When inflamed, the sinuses become blocked with mucus and can become infected. Each year, over 30 million people (adults and children alike) get sinusitis.

Medical Encyclopedia Sinusitis occurs when there is infection or inflammation due to allergies in one or more of the sinuses. Acute sinusitis is often associated with upper respiratory infections, as inflammation of the nasal passages prevents drainage of fluid from the sinuses, which allows infection of the sinuses to occur.

Extractions: Approximately 15% of people in the United States suffer from sinusitis, and about 30 million seek treatment each year. One-third of people who experience a URI develop acute sinusitis. Causes and Risk Factors Acute sinusitis usually occurs following a viral URI and may also occur with allergies and fungal infection that causes inflammation of the mucous membranes. Swollen mucous membranes trap and promote the growth of bacteria that cause infection, such as Haemophilus influenzae , streptococci, pneumococci, and staphylococci, because swelling prevents normal drainage from the sinus opening (ostium). Maxillary sinusitis is also associated with chronic dental infection.

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.

Extractions: Treatment at UPMC Treatment for sinusitis often involves self-help measures, such as increasing your fluid intake to help keep your nasal secretions thin as well as steam treatments (e.g., using a humidifier or breathing in steam from a bowl filled with hot water). When necessary, medications may include: Thick postnasal discharge is a common allergy symptom. A mucous thinner allows the mucus to drain better by thinning it so that the patient is less aware of the discharge. Having postnasal discharge is not abnormal. The average person's nose and sinus cavities produce as much as a liter of discharge each day. The discharge is transported as a thick mucous blanket to the back of the nose. The mucous usually goes down the throat during swallowing.

Extractions: Sinusitis Sinus disease is frequently encountered in general practice, and it has been estimated that 0.5% of viral upper respiratory tract infection result in acute sinusitis. Chronic sinusitis is also a very common condition and affects 31 to 35 million Americans. The most frequent underlying cause is obstruction of the ostiomeatal complex (the area in the nose where the paranasal sinuses drain to) due to allergic rhinitis. In general, any one with recurrent disease (2 or more episodes of sinusitis for 2 or more years) should be evaluated for an underlying problem, which may predispose to recurring infections. The commonest underlying causes of sinusitis are shown below: Conditions that predispose to chronic sinusitis: Allergic rhinitis (50 to 60% of cases) Non-allergic rhinitis (vasomotor) (20-30%) Anatomic abnormality, including septal deviation (20-30%)

JHBMC: Sinusitis
If you are one of the more than 31 million people who have sinusitis, you knowit s nothing sinusitis is the most common chronic illness in the country.
http://www.jhbmc.jhu.edu/OPA/baynews/sp1997/sinus.html

Extractions: by Sandy Reckert-Reusing If you are one of the more than 31 million people who have sinusitis, you know it's nothing to sneeze at. Sinusitis is the most common chronic illness in the country. Many people suffer for years with sinusitis, unaware that help is available. They lose time from work and school and endure painful symptoms, such as a headache, runny or stuffy nose and ears and facial pain that over-the-counter decongestants and antihistamines don't seem to help. Often, people bear sinusitis in silence because its symptoms are often difficult to distinguish from colds or allergies. In fact, many acute bacterial sinusitis infections are usually preceded by a cold or allergy attack. Most sufferers never see a doctor for proper diagnosis and treatment with an antibiotic to prevent future complications. "If your cold lasts longer than a week and doesn't get better, there's a good chance bacteria has moved in, causing a sinus infection," says Donald Leopold, M.D., chairman of the department of otolaryngology – head & neck surgery at Hopkins Bayview. According to Dr. Leopold, sinusitis occurs when mucous membranes in the nasal cavity become swollen. Mucous backs up, resulting in a build-up of bacteria in the sinuses. "Air can't enter the sinuses and mucous doesn't drain. It's like a stagnant pond–warm, dark, moist–the perfect environment for bacteria to set up shop and multiply." When one sinus region is infected, membranes near it become inflamed and their adjacent regions then become infected. In a healthy nose, sinuses drain naturally through a small opening called the ostia. Someone with sinus problems experiences a complete closure of the ostia, which, over time, causes sinus membranes to become scarred and swollen.

Extractions: Hay fever and other allergic reactions can be contributing factors to sinusitis. Allergies can trigger swelling in the sinus and nasal mucous linings. The swelling can cause sinus passages to close up, trapping bacteria in the upper respiratory tract. Bacteria in the sinuses can develop into a sinus infection. Sinusitis is an inflammation of the hollow cavities around the eyes and nose known as the nasal sinuses. While allergic rhinitis (hay fever) is an inflammation of the mucous membranes of the nose, sinusitis is an inflammation of the sinuses. Symptoms of sinusitis can vary depending on the level of inflammation and the area inflamed. Allergy and Sinusitis Symptoms Frequent allergic reactions, resulting in sinusitis, can cause sinusitis to become a chronic condition. Chronic sinusitis sufferers have frequent and ongoing inflammation of the sinus membranes. The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases lists several symptoms that are associated with sinusitis. Some symptoms include: Headache in the morning Pain when pressure is applied to the forehead over the frontal sinuses Aching in the upper jaw and teeth along with tender cheeks

Extractions: Medicine has advanced the treatment of Cystic Fibrosis (CF) significantly in the past 10 years. Various measures that clear the lungs are becoming standardized. The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation as well as other support groups have been contributing not only to uncovering a cure but in helping the patient and their families as well. In 1989 the gene etiology of this condition was recognized and gene therapy is now being actively pursued. The CF patient fails to have normal mucus clearance. Thick tenacious mucus keeps bacteria from being cleared and prevents antibiotics from being effective. Clearance of mucus from the chest therefore is a paramount treatment objective. Various physical therapy methods include chest percussion, forceful exhalation, various dilators, postural drainage. The flutter device uses sound vibration to help reduce the thickness of the mucus. Inhalation of drugs that break down the structure of the mucus are in use. A similar thick fluid causes sinus infections. Nasal polyps are common. This is a type of bag of water where the liquid is maintained within the cell so that the cell expands and blocks the nose. A mucocele can develop, often in the frontal sinus. This is a similar bag of water within a membrane that expands and puts pressure on the sinus wall. Headaches in the frontal sinus area - above the eyes - is a common sign.

Extractions: e-mail us Sinuses are a part of the upper respiratory system. Adults and older children have four groups of sinus cavities located within the bones surrounding the nose. Very young children have small sinus passages rather than fully formed sinuses. They may be prone to developing sinusitis because their smaller sinus passages become obstructed more easily. To work properly, the sinuses need adequate mucus drainage and a functioning immune system to fight off infections. Sinusitis is an inflammation (swelling) of the mucous membranes that line the sinus cavities. This can interfere with normal sinus drainage and cause increased mucus production. Untreated and prolonged sinus inflammation can lead to infection and increased symptoms. The drainage from the nose and sinuses is known as post-nasal drip. Who Develops Sinusitis?

It is at the bottom of this page. home > otolaryngology department > sinuses The sinuses are mucosa-lined cavities in the skull bones. Normally, their secretions drain into the nasal cavities through openings or ducts. These ducts also ensure their necessary ventilation. There are four sinuses on each side of the face, housed in the skull bones that carry the same names: the frontal sinuses are located above the eyes, the maxillary sinuses below the eyes, the ethmoid sinuses between the eyes, and the spheroid sinuses behind the eyes. Sinusitis (or infection of the sinuses) may involve one or more of the sinuses, on one or both sides. When the drainage and ventilation of the sinuses are blocked, sinusitis usually sets in. The most common causes of blockage include nasal allergies; the common cold; or anatomic blockage related to large or deviated structures, such as a deviated septum, polyps, or other rare lesions. Sinusitis may be acute, chronic or recurrent. Symptoms vary. They include pressure pains or discomfort over the involved sinuses, nasal discharge, post-nasal drip, nasal blockage, and even cough. A feeling of malaise may be present. Complicated cases may exhibit more severe or other symptoms.

http://madang.ajou.ac.kr/~ydpark/archive/allergy/tip23.html

Extractions: Tip 23: Sinusitis Sinusitis is an inflammation of the nasal sinuses. Nasal sinuses are hollow cavities within the cheek bones found around and behind the nose. Researchers believe that the primary functions of these sinuses are to warm, moisten and filter the air in the nasal cavity. They also play a role in our ability to vocalize certain sounds. Sinusitis may be acute or chronic, lasting for months or years if inadequately treated. Sinusitis, which also adversely affects the nose, eyes, or middle ear, may be indicated by fever, cough, tiredness, a plugged up nose, and bad tasting post-nasal drip. Additional evidence is colored, thick nasal drainage, feelings of facial fullness, head congestion, headache, and toothache. These signs and symptoms vary depending on the severity of the inflammation and which sinuses are involved only a few signs or all signs may be present. You should consult your physician promptly if these symptoms develop. There are two types of sinusitis. The first is acute sinusitis, which is caused by bacterial infection in most cases, and usually occurs as a late complication of a viral respiratory infection such as the common cold. The second type is chronic sinusitis, which may be caused by bacterial infection, but more often is an autoimmune disorder similar to bronchial asthma. Although colds are the most common cause of acute sinusitis, those with allergies may also be predisposed to the development of sinusitis. Immunologic problems or structural problems also may lead to chronic sinus infections.
