Normal muco-ciliary flow to prevent mucous stasis and subsequent infection. Open sinus ostia to allow adequate drainage and aeration. Definition Inflammation of the mucosal lining of the paranasal sinuses. Acute, subacute, and chronic. One of the most common diseases. Definition Acute-up to 3 weeks Subacute-3 weeks to 3 months Chronic-more than 3 months Epidemiology Affects 30-35 million persons/year. 25 million office visits/year. Direct annual cost $2.4 billion and increasing. Added surgical costs: $1 billion. Third most common diagnosis for which antibiotics are prescribed. The Sinusitis-Asthma Connection Failure to control upper airway inflammation leads to suboptimal asthma control. Mechanism is not understood Evidence Implications Correcting the rhinosinusitis results in better asthma control. 21 Ostiomeatal Complex Ostiomeatal complex is that area under the middle meatus (airspace) into which the anterior ethmoid, frontal and maxillary sinuses drain. Posterior ethmoids drain into the upper meatus. Normal Sinus CT Scan through the OMU Eyeball Ethmoid sinus Maxillary sinus Nasal cavity Blow-up View of the Ostiomeatal Unit Area Ethmoid sinus Maxillary infundibulum Uncinate process Middle turbinate Maxillary sinus Obstruction of the OMU with Associated Acute Sinusitis Sinusitis in the ethmoid sinus. Sinusitis in the maxillary sinus. Resolution of Acute Sinusitis after Treatment with Antibiotics Definition of Chronic Sinusitis Symptoms present longer than 8 weeks or 4/year in adults or 12 weeks or 6 episodes/year in children Eosinophilic inflammation or chronic infection Associated with positive CT scans Poor (if any) response to antibiotics Etiology Allergic and nonallergic rhinitis Uncorrected anatomic conditions Ciliary dyskinesia Cystic fibrosis Tumors Immunodeficiency disorders IgA, IgM Granulomatous diseases Pathogenesis Impaired local mechanisms .

Whenever the infecting agent is overwhelming for the body responses of acute inflammation to handle, body tries to cordon off the offending agent by forming a granuloma. The granuloma consists of macrophages, lymphocytes and plasma cells GRANULOMATOUS Specific Bacterial . Rhinoscleroma . Tuberculosis . Spirochaetal .

Age- any . Sex-equal 4.Clinical features . Stages a. Atrophic . Resembles –atrophic rhinitis . Characterized by foul smelling purulent discharge, crusting b. Granulomatous . Granulomatous nodules in mucosa . Painless and non-ulcerating . Subdermal infiltration of external lower nose and lip-woody feel c. Cicatricial . Stenosis of nose . Distortion of upper lip . Adhesions of nose,nasopharynx and esophagus . Subglottic Stenosis -stridor RHINOSCLEROMA 5.Diagnosis . Biopsy-shows infiltration of submucosa by plasma cells, lymphocytes,eosinophils,Mikulicz cells and Russell bodies(diagnostic) . Makuliczs cells-large foam cells with central nucleus and vacuolated cytoplasm . Russell bodies-homogenous eosinophilic inclusion bodies found in plasma cells.
