What is incidental sinusitis?
Background: Incidental paranasal sinusitis (IPS) is common on imaging for non-sinusitis disorders, usually without symptoms or obstructive features, and possibly arising from periodontitis (PD). PD associations with atherosclerosis have been widely reported. We test if IPS may also be associated with atherosclerosis.
What is sinus fracture?
A sinus fracture is a break in one of the facial bones in the area of the frontal sinuses. It frequently occurs in the lower portion of the forehead where the bone is thinner than it is around the upper forehead and therefore more susceptible to fracture.
What causes thickening of sinus walls?
Mucosal thickening is an inflammatory reaction with hyperplasia of the mucous lining of the maxillary sinus. This condition may result from harmful actions caused by trauma, infections, chemical agents, foreign body reaction, neoplasm, or airway conditions such as allergies, rhinitis, or asthma.
Does sinusitis show up on MRI?
Note: MRI is not as effective as CT in defining the anatomy of the sinuses, and therefore is not typically used for suspected acute sinusitis.
How serious is a sinus fracture?
Sinus fractures can lead to a lifetime of sinus disease. As such, sinus issues should be treated by a facial plastic surgeon that has extensive training in sinus surgery as an otolaryngologist (ENT).
How long does it take for sinus fracture to heal?
What can I expect if I have a broken nose? Your broken nose should heal within six weeks after treatment.
Is the maxillary sinus a bone?
A type of paranasal sinus (a hollow space in the bones around the nose). There are two large maxillary sinuses, one in each of the maxillary bones, which are in the cheek area next to the nose. The maxillary sinuses are lined with cells that make mucus to keep the nose from drying out.
Can sinusitis cause bone infection?
The most common causes of osteomyelitis of the jaw are periodontal infections and sinusitis with contiguous seeding and infection of the bone. Even in those affected by these potential causes, an immunocompromised state is usually present for an extensive infection to occur.
Does MRI show sinus problems?
What is surgery for sinusitis?
Endoscopic sinus surgery is a procedure used to remove blockages in the sinuses. These blockages may cause pain, drainage, recurring infections, impaired breathing or loss of smell. Sinus surgery is used to relieve symptoms associated with: Sinusitis and nasal polyps.
Will sinusitis show on MRI?
Is hip dislocation an orthopedic emergency?
Traumatic dislocations of the hip are an orthopedic emergency. Although the diagnosis of the common posterior hip dislocation may often be straightforward, the emergent diagnosis and reduction of the dislocation, especially in light of multiply traumatically injured trauma patient, can be challenging.
What is the most common type of hip dislocation?
Posterior hip dislocations are the most common type and are reduced by placing longitudinal traction with internal rotation on the hip. Conclusion: Patients with hip dislocations must receive careful diagnostic workup, and the treating physician must be well versed in the different ways to treat the injury and possible complications.
What is the pathophysiology of hip dislocation?
Pathophysiology. Subsequently, a large force is required to dislocate the joint. Because a high force mechanism is required, other life-threatening injuries and fractures are common. Motor vehicle crashes (MVC) account for two thirds of traumatic hip dislocations, but falls from height are also a significant cause,…
What is a posterior hip dislocation in a car accident?
Right posterior hip dislocation in a young woman following a high-speed motor vehicle collision (MVC). Hip dislocations are either anterior or posterior, with posterior hip dislocations comprising the majority of traumatic dislocations.
