Waters view showing diffuse prominent mucosal thickening in the right maxillary sinus and mild nmucosal thickening in the left maxillary sinus. ICD-10-PCS: B807ZZZ:
Extension into the maxillary alveolar process may cause the roots of the molars and even premolars to lie just beneath the floor of the sinus or even project through the floor and into the sinus; in such cases, the roots of the teeth are typically surrounded by a thin layer of bone, but may sometimes lie directly underneath the mucous membrane ...
Maxillary sinuses are more radiolucent than orbits. Maxillary sinusitis [2] Differentiating pathology in maxillary sinus. Maxillary sinus shows radiopacity. [2] Mucous membrane shows thickening. [2] Air-fluid level may be observed if the radiograph is taken in "head-up" position. [2] It is not seen in radiograph taken in lying down position.
Grade I includes cases with mild transient sinus discomfort without changes visible on X-ray. Grade II is characterized by severe pain for up to 24 h, with some mucosal thickening on X-ray. Patients with grade III have severe pain lasting for more than 24 h and X-ray shows severe mucosal thickening or opacification of the affected sinus ...
The maxillary sinuses, the largest of the paranasal sinuses, are under the eyes, in the maxillary bones (open in the back of the semilunar hiatus of the nose). They are innervated by the maxillary nerve (CN V2). [2] The frontal sinuses, superior to the eyes, in the frontal bone, which forms the hard part of the forehead.
The nasal mucosa lines the nasal cavity. It is part of the respiratory mucosa , the mucous membrane lining the respiratory tract . [ 1 ] [ 2 ] The nasal mucosa is intimately adherent to the periosteum or perichondrium of the nasal conchae .
The cause of this situation is usually a periapical or periodontal infection of a maxillary posterior tooth, where the inflammatory exudate has eroded through the bone superiorly to drain into the maxillary sinus. [59] An estimated 0.5 to 2.0% of viral rhinosinusitis (VRS) will develop into bacterial infections in adults and 5 to 10% in ...
A curved lamina, the uncinate process, projects downward and backward from this part of the labyrinth; it forms a small part of the medial wall of the maxillary sinus, and articulates with the ethmoidal process of the inferior nasal concha. [1] The medial surface of the labyrinth forms part of the lateral wall of the corresponding nasal cavity.
