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.

When the sinuses become inflamed, or infected, sinusitis develops. The linings of the nose and sinuses swell, trapping fluids that can cause congestion, fever, sore throat, abnormally colored nasal discharge, and eye, cheek and head pain. That's when you need effective sinusitis treatment. Use Breathe Right® nasal strips to lift nasal passages making it easier to breathe. Breathe Right saline nasal spray moisten your nasal passages. And for sinus relief, apply warm compresses on the face to ease the pressure caused by swelling and promote drainage. Home Contact Us Site Map Manage Profile ...

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.

Extractions: CREIGHTON UNIVERSITY Health Watch: "Featuring Winter Illness" ACUTE SINUSITIS What is Acute Sinusitis Acute sinusitis infections are uncommon compared to viral rhinitis (the common cold). Sinusitis often times follows an acute respiratory infection, so they can be confused by patients, media, and physicians. In addition to the cold symptoms, the diagnosis of sinusitis requires clinical signs and symptoms that indicate involvement of the affected sinus or sinuses, such as pain and tenderness over the involved sinus. Sinusitis occurs when an undrained collection of pus accumulates in the sinus cavity. Diseases that swell the nasal mucous membrane, such as viral or allergic, are usually the underlying cause. The lining of the nose becomes swollen causing obstruction of sinus drainage. The result is accumulation of mucous secretion in the sinus cavity that becomes secondarily infected by bacteria or several bacterias. Typical bacteria which cause sinusitis are often the same which cause ear infections. They include S. pneumoniae and other sreptococci, H.

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: 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:

Sinusitis The sinuses are air pockets located inside the bones of the skull above the eyebrows, behind the nose, behind the cheekbones and between the eyes. There are two types of Sinusitis, non-infectious and infectious. Non infectious is caused by irritants or allergies. Infectious Sinusitis is caused by bacterial growth in the sinuses. When the opening to the sinus gets blocked and the mucus inside cannot drain, bacteria flourish and infection sets in. Some common causes of irritation and blockage of the sinuses include cigarette smoke, molds, pollution, auto exhaust, household chemicals, swelling due to a cold or allergies, enlarged adenoids and damage caused from swimming or diving. Sinusitis is frequently treated with antibiotics, corticosteroid sprays, decongestants and antihistamines. All of these drugs have harmful side-effects. Antibiotics are notoriously indiscriminate in that they destroy valuable, benign bacteria as well as the unwelcome types. In addition, antibiotics can cause nausea and vomiting, diarrhea and irritation of the throat and mouth. Corticosteroids can produce trouble breathing, facial swelling and difficulty swallowing. Decongestants may cause nausea and vomiting, insomnia, trembling and weakness. Antihistamines can lead to drowsiness, blurred vision, ringing in the ears and abdominal pain.
