ABSTRACT

Se realizó una investigación observacional, descriptiva y transversal de 132 pacientes con afecciones no traumáticas de los senos paranasales, atendidos en el Servicio de Otorrinolaringología del Hospital Provincial Docente Saturnino Lora Torres de Santiago de Cuba, desde enero del 2013 hasta diciembre del 2015, a fin de caracterizarles según variables epidemiológicas, clínicas y tomográficas de interés. En la serie predominaron los afectados de 39-58 años de edad (42,4 por ciento), el hábito de fumar (62,1 por ciento) y las infecciones dentarias (59,1 por ciento) como los principales factores de riesgo, así como los procesos inflamatorios sinusales (62,1 por ciento) que afectaron preferentemente el seno maxilar. Se halló coincidencia entre el diagnóstico definitivo y los signos tomográficos en 66 pacientes, con un coeficiente de Kappa de 0,80.
