This document provides an overview of the anatomy and physiology of the nose and paranasal sinuses. It describes the nasal cavity boundaries and septum. It discusses the maxillary, ethmoid, frontal, and sphenoid sinuses as well as the ostiomeatal complex. Causes of nasal obstruction, sinusitis, epistaxis, and sinus tumors are summarized. Treatment approaches for various nasal and sinus conditions are also outlined.
The document discusses various topics related to clinical nasal slides and dental students including:
1. The anatomy of the external nasal skeleton, nasal septum, nasal turbinates, and paranasal sinuses.
2. Conditions affecting the nose, palate, and paranasal sinuses including cleft lip and palate, sinusitis, nasal fractures, and nasal tumors.
3. Radiographic images showing dental and jaw fractures, cysts, tumors, and infections affecting the maxillary sinus and their relationship to dental issues.
This document discusses epistaxis (nosebleeds), including its causes, sites of bleeding, classification, and management approaches. The main points covered are:
- Epistaxis is caused by bleeding from inside the nose, with common causes being local trauma, infections, or general medical conditions like hypertension.
- The most common site of bleeding is an area of the nasal septum called Little's area, where several arteries converge.
- Epistaxis can be anterior (from the nasal cavity) or posterior (from the nasopharynx). Anterior bleeding is more common and usually mild.
- First approaches to manage epistaxis include applying pressure, cauterization of bleeding vessels, or anterior nasal packing
Nasal polyps are abnormal lesions that originate from the nasal mucosa or paranasal sinuses. They are most commonly caused by chronic inflammation from various sources. Nasal polyps present with symptoms like nasal obstruction, postnasal drip, and headaches. Investigations include CT scans, nasal endoscopy, and tests for conditions like cystic fibrosis. Treatment options include oral steroids, sinus surgery to remove polyps, and addressing underlying causes of inflammation. While surgery provides relief, nasal polyps often recur due to the chronic inflammatory nature of the condition.
EPISTAXIS
- Bleeding from inside the nose is called epistaxis. It is fairly common and seen in all age groups.
- The main sites of bleeding are Little's area and the posterior nasal cavity. Little's area is located in the anterior nasal septum and is supplied by four arteries that form a vascular plexus.
- Causes of epistaxis include local nasal trauma or infections, as well as general medical conditions like hypertension and liver disease. Management involves first aid measures, cauterization of bleeding sites, and nasal packing to control bleeding.
The document discusses various diseases and conditions that can affect the external nose and nasal vestibule. It describes cellulitis, nasal deformities like saddle nose and hump nose, and various types of tumors including dermoid cysts, encephaloceles, and basal cell carcinoma. It also discusses injuries to the nose including nasal fractures and injuries to the paranasal sinuses. Other conditions mentioned include furuncles, vestibulitis, stenosis of the nares, and epistaxis (nosebleeds). The treatments involve antibiotics, steroids, surgery, and procedures to repair nasal fractures and deformities.
1. The maxillary sinus is the first paranasal sinus to develop in utero and expands after birth to match the growth of the maxilla and dentition.
2. As the largest paranasal sinus, it is pyramidal in shape with walls formed by the orbit, maxilla, and palate and opens into the nasal cavity.
3. Common diseases include sinusitis caused by dental infections or procedures, as well as tumors, cysts, and displaced tooth roots which may require surgical intervention.
1. Inverted papilloma is a benign epithelial tumor originating from the Schneiderian membrane of the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses.
2. It most commonly affects males ages 30-50 and presents as a unilateral nasal mass, obstruction, and bleeding.

Al-Azhar University. There are four pairs of air sinuses making the boundaries of the nasal cavity. Maxillary sinus is the largest air cell. Anatomy and physiology of the maxillary sinus are given. Maxillary sinusitis is an inflammation of the sinus. Odontogenic causes represent nearly 30% of the etiology. Clinical and radiographic examinations are discussed together with treatment plan.
Oro-antral fistula is a rare complication of surgery at the posterior maxillary region. Several techniques for closure are presented. Additionally, information about sinus lift procedure is given.
The document discusses the maxillary sinus, including its functions, structure, development, vascular and nerve supply, diseases, and sinusitis. The maxillary sinus (also called the antrum of Highmore) is the largest of the paranasal sinuses. It is pyramidal in shape and located behind the cheekbone. Sinusitis occurs when the sinuses become blocked and inflamed, usually due to a viral or bacterial infection. Symptoms include nasal congestion, facial pain, and headaches. Diagnosis involves imaging like CT scans. Treatment involves medications like antibiotics, decongestants, corticosteroids, and surgery if medications are not effective.
This document provides information on managing emergent airway issues in the ENT department. It discusses causes of difficult airways, airway assessment techniques, maintaining a patent airway through techniques like bag mask ventilation, endotracheal intubation and laryngeal mask airway. It also covers management of trauma to the face, neck and airway as well as conditions like epistaxis, foreign bodies, peritonsillar abscesses, Ludwig's angina and sudden hearing loss.
1. Benign and malignant neoplasms can occur in the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses. Common benign neoplasms include osteomas, fibrous dysplasias, inverted papillomas, and hemangiomas. Common malignant neoplasms are carcinomas of the maxillary sinus and nasal cavity.
2. Presenting symptoms vary depending on the location and extent of the tumor but may include nasal obstruction, epistaxis, facial pain or swelling. Diagnosis involves endoscopy, imaging like CT scans, and biopsy.
3. Treatment involves surgical excision and may also include radiation therapy or chemotherapy, especially for malignant tumors. Surgical approaches depend on the size and location of the tumor
This document discusses odontogenic diseases of the maxillary sinus. It begins with the embryology and anatomy of the maxillary sinus, noting its development, location, dimensions, and openings. It then covers clinical examination and features of sinusitis. The majority of the document discusses causes of maxillary sinusitis, distinguishing between odontogenic (dental-related) and non-odontogenic causes. It provides details on signs, symptoms, and treatments for both acute and chronic maxillary sinusitis. Surgical treatment including the Caldwell-Luc procedure is also summarized.
Developmental disorders of the nasal septum are rare, occurring in about 1 in 10,000 births. The septum can be involved in conditions like choanal atresia, congenital midline nasal masses, and cleft lip and palate. Cleft lip and palate are among the most common birth defects involving the septum. Septal trauma is also very common and can cause issues like septal hematomas, abscesses, and fractures. Physical examination of the nose includes inspecting the septum and nasal cavity to diagnose septal pathology. Conditions like deviations, perforations, and structural deformities can be identified. Septoplasty is often performed to correct significant septal abnormalities that cause nasal obstruction or other symptoms
Differiential diagnosis of maxillary sinus pathologyShiji Antony
This document discusses pathology of the maxillary sinus, including classification, etiology, pathogenesis, clinical features, radiological features, diagnosis, and treatment of various conditions. It covers inflammatory diseases like acute and chronic sinusitis, mucositis, and antral polyps. It also discusses cysts, neoplasms, developmental disorders, traumatic injuries, and complications of maxillary sinus pathology. Differential diagnosis of maxillary sinus conditions is based on clinical history and examination findings, as well as radiological imaging like radiographs, CT scans.
This document discusses various fibro-osseous tumors of the sinonasal region, including fibrous dysplasia. Fibrous dysplasia is a benign condition caused by a defect in osteoblast differentiation and maturation, resulting in the replacement of normal bone by fibrous connective tissue. It is caused by mutations in the GNAS1 gene. Histologically, there is slow replacement of medullary bone by abnormal fibrous tissue at different stages of bone metaplasia. Fibrous dysplasia typically presents in children and adolescents, with females being affected more often than males.
1) The nasal septum consists of three parts - the columellar septum, membranous septum, and septum proper. The septum proper contains cartilage and bones that provide support to the nose.
2) Deviations, fractures, and injuries to the nasal septum can cause problems like nasal obstruction, epistaxis, and deformities. Surgical procedures like submucous resection (SMR) and septoplasty are used to correct septal abnormalities.
3) Complications of nasal septum diseases and their surgeries include bleeding, septal hematoma, infection, and saddle nose deformity. Accurate diagnosis and treatment of septal fractures or deviations is
Juvenile nasopharyngeal angiofibroma is a benign tumor that occurs mainly in males during puberty, most commonly in Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and India. It arises from the base of the medial pterygoid plate and can extend into the nasal cavity, nasopharynx, maxillary sinus, pterygomaxillary fossa, infratemporal fossa, orbit, and occasionally the intracranial cavity. Symptoms include profuse epistaxis, nasal obstruction, and deformities of the face with orbital or cheek involvement. Treatment is generally surgical excision via an endoscopic or open approach, with preoperative embolization or hormone therapy sometimes used to reduce tumor vascular
This document provides an overview of the maxillary sinus, including its discovery, anatomy, development, functions, and associated pathologies. Some key points:
- The maxillary sinus was first discovered and illustrated by Leonardo da Vinci, but was described in detail by Nathaniel Highmore in 1651.
- It is a pyramid-shaped air space within the body of the maxilla. It is bounded by the zygomatic process, nasal surface, orbital surface, and alveolar process.
- Development begins in the newborn as a tubular structure, becoming ovoid in childhood and pyramidal in adults.
- Pathologies associated with the maxillary sinus include sinusitis, cyst
The maxillary sinus, also known as the antrum of Highmore, is a pyramidal air space in the body of the maxilla. It has specific boundaries and openings. The functions of the sinuses include improving resonance, warming air, and decreasing skull weight. Maxillary sinus problems can be confused with dental issues since related teeth border the sinus. Inflammation is usually caused by bacteria from the nasal cavity or teeth. Acute sinusitis lasts 5-7 days and is treated with decongestants and analgesics. Chronic sinusitis causes ongoing pain and requires more invasive treatments like sinus surgery. Complications from maxillary sinus surgery include bleeding, devitalized teeth, and osteomyelitis.

Cell Therapy Expansion and Challenges in Autoimmune DiseaseHealth Advances
There is increasing confidence that cell therapies will soon play a role in the treatment of autoimmune disorders, but the extent of this impact remains to be seen. Early readouts on autologous CAR-Ts in lupus are encouraging, but manufacturing and cost limitations are likely to restrict access to highly refractory patients. Allogeneic CAR-Ts have the potential to broaden access to earlier lines of treatment due to their inherent cost benefits, however they will need to demonstrate comparable or improved efficacy to established modalities.
In addition to infrastructure and capacity constraints, CAR-Ts face a very different risk-benefit dynamic in autoimmune compared to oncology, highlighting the need for tolerable therapies with low adverse event risk. CAR-NK and Treg-based therapies are also being developed in certain autoimmune disorders and may demonstrate favorable safety profiles. Several novel non-cell therapies such as bispecific antibodies, nanobodies, and RNAi drugs, may also offer future alternative competitive solutions with variable value propositions.
Widespread adoption of cell therapies will not only require strong efficacy and safety data, but also adapted pricing and access strategies. At oncology-based price points, CAR-Ts are unlikely to achieve broad market access in autoimmune disorders, with eligible patient populations that are potentially orders of magnitude greater than the number of currently addressable cancer patients. Developers have made strides towards reducing cell therapy COGS while improving manufacturing efficiency, but payors will inevitably restrict access until more sustainable pricing is achieved.
Despite these headwinds, industry leaders and investors remain confident that cell therapies are poised to address significant unmet need in patients suffering from autoimmune disorders. However, the extent of this impact on the treatment landscape remains to be seen, as the industry rapidly approaches an inflection point.

The Nose and Paranasal Sinuses
1. The Nose and paranasal
Sinuses
Dr Samer Serhal
E.N.T. MD
2. The nasal cavity
Twin passages divided by a thin midline
vertical septum.
The boundaries of each nasal cavity are:
3. Boundaries of nasal cavity
Medially: septum
Inferiorly: hard palate
Laterally: medial wall of maxillary and
ethmoid sinus
Superiorly: cribriform plate
4. Blow out fracture in boxers: inferior rectus
muscle herniates--- cant move the orbit
Inferior meatus (behind the inferior
turbinate): naso lacrimal duct opens in it
Middle meatus: openings of maxillary,
ethmoidal and frontal sinus open in it
5. The nasal septum
Maxillary crest and spine inferiorly
Quadrilateral cartilage antero-inferiorly
Vomerine bone postero-inferiorly
Perpendicular plate of ethmoid superiorly
8. Vascular anatomy
The arterial supply to the nose ( lateral
wall and septum ) is derived from both
the internal carotid ( the anterior and
posterior ethmoidal branches of the
ophthalmic artery ) and the external
carotid ,the latter being predominant).
The terminal branches of these vessels
form a plexus on the anterior septum
known as little’s area.
9. Arterial Supply
1- From Internal carotid art: Anterior and
posterior ethmoidal arteries brs of the
ophthalmic artery
2- From Ext carotid art: Sphenopalatine art;
Greater palatine art; Superior labial br of facial
art; => + post ethmoidal art =Kisselbach’s
Plexus or Little’s area
12. Anterior bleeding: in pediatrics, benign, (
control: flex the neck and close the nostrils)
Post bleeding : adults, sphenopalatine
artery, harder to control
14. The paranasal sinuses
Four separate groups of air filled
spaces which communicate with the
nasal cavities with at least one opening
or ostium.
The maxillary and ethmoid sinuses are
present at birth, the frontal and sphenoid
sinuses develop later.
15.
16. The maxillary sinus
Volume is 1 ml at birth and enlarges to
15 ml in adults.
The sinus boundaries are:
Sup: the orbital floor
Inf: the hard palate
Post: The pterygopalatine fossa
Ant-lat: The malar bone and maxilla
Med: The nasal cavity.
The ostium opens beneath the middle
turbinate.
17.
18. The maxillary sinus
The growth of the sinus after the twelfth year
is related to an invasion of the alveolar
process after the eruption of the secondary
dentition.
In adults the floor of the maxillary sinus is 5
mm inferior to the floor of the nasal cavity.
The limits of the maxillary floor are usually
marked anteriorly by the first bicuspid and
posteriorly by a small recess posterior to the
roots of the third molar.
19. Ethmoid sinuses
Anterior /posterior groups
Boundaries : lamina papyracea , fovea
ethmoidalis ,cribriform plate
Post sinus surgery risk: cribriform plate or
Ethmoid fracture csf leakage, bleeding,
infection, orbital injury
20. Frontal sinuses
Drainage via the frontal recess into the
middle meatus anteriorly
Anterior and posterior table
Can cause meningitis
21. Sphenoid sinuses
Strategic position into the base of skull
Superiorly: Optic nerve and pituitary
Posteriorly: pons
Externally & laterally: cavernous sinus and
ICA
Causes severe headache
22. The ostiomeatal complex
Ethmoid infundibulum
Hiatus semilunaris
Drainage area for : anterior ethmoids
,maxillary and frontal sinuses
The sphenoid and posterior ethmoids drain
into the sphenoethmoidal recess
Edema ( e.g.allergy) ,inflammation ,nasal
polyps ,tumors ,structural anomalies (concha
bullosa and NSD) aid in the obstruction of
the OMC
23. Nasal obstruction
Unilateral (foreign body) vs bilateral
Intermittent (allergy) vs continuous
Complete vs incomplete
Nasal discharge/headache.
Allergic manifestations (sneezing, clear
nasal discharge )
Epistaxis (tumor)
Association to environmental factors
26. NSD
Cartilaginous , bony or both
Traumatic or simply sec to growth
SMR to relieve nasal obstruction if
symptomatic
27. Turbinates hypertrophy
Allergic
Associated with NSD
Treatment medical : nasal steroids and
antihistamines if allergic
Partial turbinectomy ,reduction by
cauthery or laser if not responding to tx
or non- allergic
28. Septal perforation
Post-surgical
Drug addiction
Bleeding and crusting with altered air
flow will cause nasal obstruction and
occasionally sinusitis
29. Choanal atresia
Emergency when bilateral
Bony /membranous
Partial or simply stenosis
Unilateral can present in childhood or
adulthood
30. Sinusitis classification
Acute /subacute/chronic
bacterial vs fungual
With or without polyps
Eosinophilic hist. features

37. Acute sinusitis
Definition: acute inflammation of the the sinus
mucosa ( the maxillary sinuses being the most
commonly affected).
Mostly follows a viral URTI that causes edema
and obstruction of the sinus ostia and
paralysis of the mucosal cilia causing stasis of
mucus secretions and secondary bacterial
sinusitis( H. influenza ,M.catarrhalis
,S.pneumoniae.)
Odontogenic infections.
38. Symptoms and signs of maxillary
acute sinusitis.
Throbbing Pain of the cheek or upper teeth
made worse by coughing
Fever (not usually present in chronic sinusitis)
Tenderness over the cheeks
CT or sinus xr ( not done routinely ) of the
maxillary sinus will help to evaluate the extent
and size of the sinus ,dental fragments ,apical
root abscess ,fungual balls ,mucosal retention
cysts….
39.
40. Treatment of acute sinusitis
Topical vasoconstrictors and systemic
decongestants will help sinus drainage.
Antibiotics ( if suspecting odontogenic source :
penicillin, clindamycin , metronidazol or
amoxicillin/clavulonic acid are the most
effective.
When patient fails to improve , maxillary sinus
puncture ( canine fossa or inferior meatus ) for
obtaining cultures and sinus wash might be
done
41.
42. Chronic sinusitis
Considered chronic when sinus syxs last
more then 6 to 12 weeks.
Critical to the management is a
thorough search for underlying cause:
nasal allergy , polyps ,sinus f.b.( tooth
piece )…..
43.
44. Fungual sinusitis
Aspergillus ,candida and mucormycosis
species
Aspergillus usually in a noninvasive
saprophytic form ,might present in an
allergic fungual form (expand sinus
borders ),invasive form in
immunocompromised hosts .
Mucormycosis deadly disease in poorly
controlled diabetic patients
45. Sinus headache
Maxillary : site of pain over antrum ,roots of
the upper molars.
Ethmoid : site of pain is periorbital (anterior
),vertex ,behind eye (posterior).
Frontal : forehead or above eyes.
Sphenoid : pain referred to frontal ,temporal ,or
occipital area ,retro orbital or vertex pain.
46. Sinus neoplasms
Rare tumors ( less then 1% of all neoplasms)
and when malignant have a hi mortality
because diagnosed late at an advanced stage.
Benign tumors :
adenoma,papilloma,osteoma,angiofibroma,heman
gioma,fibrous displasia…
Malignant tumors: The most common is SCC.
Adenocarcinoma, salivary gland tumors ,adenoid
cystic carcinoma , olfactory neuroblatoma ,
angiosarcoma ,rhabdomyosarcoma …
47. The majority of malignant tumors ( 60% )
arise in the maxillary sinus antrum
area.30% arise in the nasal cavity and
10% in the ethmoid sinuses.
Clinical features of maxillary sinus
malignant tumors depend on the
direction of tumor growth.
49. Investigation: obtaining a biopsy , better by
nasal rout then by caldwell-luc approach in
order not to compromise natural barriers for
tumor spread.
C.T. Scan
Management is by radiotherapy , partial
maxillectomy , total maxillectomy followed by
radiotherapy depending on the size of the
tumor.
The maxillectomy defect is filled with a
modified dental plate or obturator.
50. Epistaxis
Definition: bleeding from the nose .
Most episodes are minor but occasionally life
threatening hemorrhage may occur.
In 80% of cases bleeding comes from little’s area
although in older patients the bleeding pt is more
likely to be situated posteriorly.
Bleeding sometimes go to the posterior oropharynx
and present as blood in the oral cavity.
Occasionally it is difficult to determine the source of
the blood (nasal or gingival or lung ) especially when
pt present with bloody sputum (nasal endoscopy , good
oral exam , cxr and sinus XR or CT will help the
physician)
51. In children and young adults spontaneous
bleeding from little’s area is common.
In elderly pts hypertension is often associated
with epistaxis and the bleeding tends to arise
far back (posterior).
Bleeding may be present as blood per nostrils
or might trickle posteriorly into the throat and
present in the oral cavity or vomitted.
52.
53. Management
Press the tip of the nose.
Constrict the nasal mucosa with topical
adrenaline solution.
Cauterize the bleeding point.
Anterior nasal packing.
Posterior nasal packing.
