SINUSITIS
• hollow, air-filled cavities in skull that are lined by a mucous
membrane.
• known as the paranasal sinuses because of their formation from the
nasal mucosa and their continued communication with nasal fossas.

Purpose of
sinuses
• Humidifying and warming
inspired air
• Regulation of intranasal pressure
• Increasing surface area for
olfaction
• Lightening the skull
• Resonance
• Absorbing shock
• Contribute to facial growth
Development
of sinuses
• Aerated at birth
• Maxillary sinuses
• Age 6-7
• Frontal /sphenoidal sinuses
• Puberty- approx 17-18 yrs
• Ethmoid
4
Maxillary Sinuses
• Largest sinuses
• 3.5 cm high
• 2.5 – 3 cm wide
• Within maxilla
• Above upper teeth
• Paired & symmetric
• Communicates with middle nasal
meatus
5
Frontal Sinuses
• Second largest sinuses
• 2 – 2.5 cm
• Normally:
• Between tables of vertical plate in frontal
bone
• Can extend beyond frontal bone inot the
orbital plates
• Rarely symmetrical & Number
varies (occassionally absent)
• Drain into middle nasal meatus
6
Sphenoid Sinuses
• Below sella turcica
• Extends between dorsum sellae
and post clinoid processes
• Can be single or paired
• Usually no more than two
• Drains into sphenoethmoidal recess
of nasal cavity
7
Ethmoid Sinuses
• Within lateral masses of ethmoid
bone
• Three groups:
• Anterior, middle & posterior
• Anterior & middle
• 2-8 cells
• Drains into middle nasal meatus
• Posterior
• 2-6 cells
• Drain into superior nasal meatus
8
Osteomeatal
complex – coronal
view
• Pathways of communication
• Frontal, ethmoid and maxillary
• 2 key passageways
• Infundibulum
• Middle nasal meatus
Rhino-sinusitis: inflammation of lining
mucosa of nose & paranasal sinuses

premolars:
Periapical dental abscess may burst into the sinus
Root of a tooth, during extraction, may be pushed
into maxillary sinus.

FUNGAL BALL
• Dense accumulation of fungus and the
associated debris presenting as a noninvasive
mass in the sinuses.
• Nasal obstruction , postnasal drip
• O/E - 40% - purulent discharge from the
involved sinus and 10% have polyps.
• CT SCAN
51
CT SCAN
• Single opacified sinus with a central area of
high attenuation is highly suggestive of fungus
ball
• Centrally within the involved sinus are areas of
hyperattenuation that correspond to fungal
debris and punctate calcifications.
• There is usually minimal or no sinus
expansion, but there may be a thick osteitic
bone reaction from the chronic state.
52
53
AFRS
• Most common
• Symptoms- blowing dark chunks or rubbery
mucus, visual disturbance / diplopia
• O/E – proptosis or telecanthus due to sinus
expansion and mucocele formation.20
Intranasal examination will reveal polyposis
that is unilateral in up to 50% of cases.
• Inspissated yellowish mucus (allergic mucin)
may be seen within the nasal cavity.
54
• Diagnostic Criteria for Allergic Fungal
Rhinosinusitis Bent and Kuhn
• Type 1 hypersensitivity confirmed by history,
skin test, or serology
• Nasal polyposis
• Characteristic CT scan findings
• Positive fungal stain of sinus contents

58
• fever, headache, facial pain, and swelling are
rapidly followed by decreased visual acuity,
other cranial nerve deficits, and facial or

• Extension into the cranial vault may cause
seizures, altered mental status, and then
death in a matter of days.
• O/E – middle turbinate most common site
59
• Reveal areas of pallor and nonbleeding,
insensate mucosa.
• As the disease progresses, the nasal tissues
will take on a gray to black appearance with
areas of ulceration
• Perineural or vascular invasion leads to areas
anesthesia, mycotic thrombosis, and ischemic
coagulative necrosis of tissue.
60
Chronic invasive fungal sinusitis
• Cranial nerve deficits, cavernous sinus
syndrome, orbital apex syndrome, seizures, or
mental status changes may develop before the
diagnosis.
• Diagnosis of CIFS is made by a combination of
the clinical presentation and histopathologic
examination.
