Altered nasal anatomy after bilateral subtotal inferior turbinectomy, the removal of most turbinate tissue. Specialty: Otolaryngology: Symptoms: Sensation of nasal suffocation despite clear airway: Complications: Hyperventilation syndrome, depression, anxiety, fatigue: Usual onset: Following surgery or injury to the nasal interior: Differential ...
[8] [16] [17] Reviews of FESS as a method for treating chronic rhinosinusitis have shown that a majority of patients report increased quality of life after undergoing surgery. [18] [16] The success rate of FESS in treating adults with CRS has been reported as 80-90%, [19] and the success rate in treating children with CRS has been reported as ...
Involutional stenosis is probably the most common cause of nasolacrimal duct obstruction in older people. It affects women twice as frequently as men. Although the inciting event in this process is unknown, clinicopathologic study suggests that compression of the lumen of the nasolacrimal duct is caused by inflammatory infiltrates and edema.
Data from the study shows that balloon sinus dilation is as effective as functional sinus surgery, and delivers a better patient recovery experience. [7] [8] Balloon and surgical patients experienced a similar, significant level of: symptom improvement; decline in number of rhinosinusitis episodes requiring medication in year after treatment
Nasal surgery is a specialty including the removal of nasal obstruction that cannot be achieved by medication and nasal reconstruction. Currently, it comprises four approaches, namely rhinoplasty, septoplasty, sinus surgery, and turbinoplasty, targeted at different sections of the nasal cavity in the order of their external to internal positions.
Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery (FESS) is one of the newer modalities in treatment of Chronic Sinusitis. However, it is not first line of treatment as it may lead to massive bleeding. It allows ventilation and drainage of inflamed or infected sinuses and restoration of mucociliary clearances.
In adults, norovirus and Campylobacter are common causes. [11] [12] Eating improperly prepared food, drinking contaminated water or close contact with a person who is infected can spread the disease. [2] Treatment is generally the same with or without a definitive diagnosis, so testing to confirm is usually not needed. [2]
Similarly, dental procedures such as tooth extractions, implant placement, or root canal treatments, particularly if they involve the posterior maxillary teeth, can also cause this condition. [ 5 ] [ 6 ] Microbiological studies have also determined that anaerobic bacteria are more frequently involved in odontogenic sinusitis cases than in ...
