ABSTRACT

La bola fúngica del seno maxilar es una sinusitis fúngica no invasiva. El aumento de pacientes con alguna forma de inmunocompromiso se ha asociado con el aumento en la prevalencia de la enfermedad. Presentamos el caso de un paciente diabético, que consultó durante un año al sistema de salud antes de realizarle el diagnóstico de bola fúngica por Aspergillus en el seno maxilar.


Fungal balls are non invasive sinusits of paranasal sinuses. Rises in the number of immune compromised patents has lead to an increase in prevalence of the disease. We report a case of a diabetc patent, who sought advice for one year before the diagnosis of an Aspergillus fungal ball of the maxillary sinus was made.

ABSTRACT

Las comunicaciones bucosinusales (CBS) son una condición patológica que se caracteriza por la presencia de una solución de continuidad entre la cavidad bucal y el seno maxilar. Una vez que se ha instalado una CBS es deseable cerrar este defecto, evitando así la infección del seno maxilar y posibles dificultades en la deglución, fonación y masticación. Se han propuesto diferentes tratamientos para su resolución, algunos no quirúrgicos y otros quirúrgicos. Los quirúrgicos pueden realizarsedesplazando tejidos locales, regionales o injertando. El objetivo de este trabajo es mostrar la utilidad del cierre plßsticos local con colgajo palatino. Para ello se muestran dos casos clínicos y se realizó una revisión de la bibliografía con la intensión de clarificar sus ventajas y desventajas...


Oroantral communication (OAC) is a pathological condition characterized by the presence of an abnormal communication between themaxillary sinus and the oral cavity.Once an OAC has established, the closure of this defect is desired in order to avoid infection of the maxillary sinus, and possible difficulties in swallowing, speaking and chewing.Several treatments have been suggested for this condition, both surgical and non surgical. Surgical treatments consist of relocating localor regional tissue and grafting. The purpose of this work is to show the effectiveness of local plastic closure using a palatal flap. Two clinical cases are presented and a revision of literature was performed in order to clarify its advantages and disadvantages...

ABSTRACT

Introducción: La rinosinusitis maxilar de origen dental (RSMD) es una entidad reconocida con una incidencia cercana al 30%. Su diagnóstico puede pasar inadvertido, tanto en la clínica como en las imágenes, llevando a persistencia de sintomatología y fracaso de tratamiento. Objetivo: Describir la presentación clínica, diagnóstico y tratamiento de pacientes con rinosinusitis maxilar de origen dental. Material y método: Reporte de casos. Se revisaron historias clínicas, imágenes radiológicas, protocolos operatorios y cultivos microbiológicos de pacientes con diagnóstico de rinosinusitis de origen dental atendidos en Clínica Las Condes. Resultados: Diez pacientes, siete mujeres y tres hombres con edad promedio de 63 años. Descarga posterior y rinorrea fueron los síntomas más frecuentes. El estudio incluyó radiografía dental y tomografía computarizada de cavidades paranasales. Las complicaciones secundarias a extracciones dentales y de implantes dentales fueron las etiologías más frecuentes, siendo el primer molar la pieza dental más comprometida. Todos los casos fueron manejados en conjunto por equipo médico y odontológico. Ocho pacientes requirieron tratamiento quirúrgico y 5 de ellos además procedimientos dentales asociados. La flora responsable fue mixta aerobia y anaerobia. Conclusión: En pacientes rebeldes a tratamiento y con síntomas unilaterales, se debe tener un alto índice de sospecha y buscar dirigidamente patologías dentales que expliquen cuadros rinosinusales máxilo-etmoidales.


Introduction: Odontogenic maxillary sinusitis is a well-recognized condition and accounts for approximately 30% of maxillary sinusitis cases. The diagnosis can be missed leading to failure in medical and surgical treatments. Aim: To describe clinical features, diagnosis procedures and treatment of odontogenic maxillary sinusitis. Material and method: Case Report. We retrospectively reviewed medical records, radiologic characteristic, surgical findings and intraoperative microbial cultures of patients with diagnosis of odontogenic sinusitis at Clínica Las Condes. Results: 10 patients were identified, 7 females and 3 males with a mean age of 63 years. Posterior discharge and rhinorrhea were the most common symptoms. Dental x-rays and paranasal sinus CT-scans were performed in all patients. Iatrogenic causes, which include dental implants and dental extractions, were the most common etiology and the 1st molar was the dental piece most frequently involved. Both otolaryngologists and dentistsworked together in all cases. 8 patients had endoscopic sinus surgery and five of them received concomitant management of the dental origin. Polymicrobial cultures were obtained. Conclusions: Otolaryngologists must have a high index of suspicion and look for an odontogenic cause in individuals with unilateral maxillary and ethmoidal symptoms, resistant to conventional sinusitis therapy.

ABSTRACT

La sinusitis odontogénica afecta la mucosa de los senos maxilares y puede ser causada por la evolución de una lesión en el diente con formación de pus periapical que avanza en el interior de la cavidad sinusal. Se presenta un caso de un paciente con dens in dente en el diente incisivo lateral superior derecho, que sufrió el proceso de caries evolucionando en la región periapical, contaminando la mucosa sinusal de este lado, lo que causó el dolor, abultamiento y el desplazamiento del diente. La cirugía se realizó a través de acceso de Caldwell-Luc para el curetaje de la lesión, lo que indica la presencia en el diagnóstico histopatológico la presencia de quiste abscedado y sinusitis. Después de 18 meses de control, se observó la regeneración ósea y el reposicionamiento alveolar espontáneo de los dientes implicados. Los autores advierten que cíngulos profundos y dens in dente son las enfermedades de los dientes que merecen atención para el diagnóstico y la prevención de los procesos de caries con el fin de evitar complicaciones mayores.


Odontogenic sinusitis affects mucous membrane of the maxillary sinus and can be caused by the evolution of a tooth injury with formation of periapical abscess that advances into the sinus cavity. We present a patient with dens in dente in the upper right lateral incisor tooth, which suffered carious process and periapical abscess, contaminating the sinus mucosa on this side, which caused pain, bulging and tooth displacement. Surgery was performed via a Caldwell-Luc access for curettage of the lesion, indicating the presence in the histopathological diagnosis of radicular cyst abscess and sinusitis. After 18 months of control, alveolar bone regeneration and spontaneous repositioning of teeth involved was observed. The authors warn that cingulum deep in dens in dente are diseases of the tooth that deserve attention for the diagnosis and prevention of carious processes in order to avoid further complications.

ABSTRACT

Introducción: La recirculación de moco entre el ostium natural del seno maxilar y otras aberturas en el seno, altera el transporte mucociliar normal, favorece su acumula-ción y sobreinfección, perpetuando el fenómeno inflamatorio. Objetivo: Describir nuestra experiencia en el diagnóstico y tratamiento de pacientes con rinosinusitis maxilar crónica y/o aguda recurrente cuyo estudio reveló recirculación maxilar. Material y método: Estudio retrospectivo descriptivo. Se revisaron historias clínicas, nasofibroscopías, informes radiológicos y hallazgos operatorios. Resultados: Ocho pacientes con edad promedio de 43 años. El 100%% presentó antecedente de cirugía que involucraba el seno maxilar. Todos se presentaron como rinosinusitis maxilar crónica y/o aguda con reagudizaciones frecuentes (3 episodios/ año). El diagnóstico se realizó mediante nasofibroscopía que evidenció recirculación de moco entre ostium natural y accesorio. Cinco pacientes se sometieron a cirugía endoscópica para unir el ostium accesorio (OA) al natural, disminuyendo el número de exacerbaciones. Conclusión: La recirculación maxilar se debe sospechar en pacientes con diagnóstico de rinosinusitis maxilar crónica y/o aguda recurrente con antecedente de cirugías que involucren el seno maxilar. Su diagnóstico se basa en la observación de recirculación de moco a la nasofibroscopía. El manejo es quirúrgico y dependerá de la ubicación del OA y de la permeabilidad del ostium natural.


Introduction: Recirculation of mucus between the maxillary sinus natural ostium and adjacent openings disturbs mucociliary clearence leading to secretions accumulation and persistent infection, perpetuating the inflammatory phenomenon. Aim: Describe our experience in the diagnosis and treatment ofpatients with maxillary rhinosinusitis (chronic or acute recurrent) and maxillary recirculation. Material and method: Descriptive and retrospective study. Clinical records, radiologic characteristic, nasal endoscopies and surgical findings were reviewed. Results: 8 patients, mean age of 43 years. All of them had prior history of maxillary sinus surgery. Clinical presentation was maxillary rhinosinusitis, chronic or acute, with frequent episodes ofreagudization (3 episodes/year). The diagnosis was made by endoscopic nasal examination that showed mucus recirculation between natural and accessory ostium. Endoscopic sinus surgery was done in 5patients in order to communicate the accessory to the natural ostium, leading to a decrease in the number of exacerbations. Conclusions: Maxillary recirculation must be suspected in patients with maxillary rhinosinusitis (chronic or acute recurrent) who have had prior surgical procedures that involve the maxillary sinus. The diagnosis is based on the observation of the recirculation phenomenon in the nasal endoscopy. The treatment is surgical and depends on the location of the accessory ostium and the permeability of the natural ostium.

ABSTRACT

Introdução: devido à íntima relação dos ápices radiculares dos dentes posterossuperiores com o seio maxilar, algumas sinusites maxilares podem ser de origem odontogênica, como extrações dentárias e lesões periodontais e periapicais (abscessos, granulomas e cistos radiculares). A tomografia computadorizada é o exame de escolha no auxílio do diagnóstico das sinusopatias. Objetivo: o objetivo desse trabalho é avaliar os aspectos que caracterizam uma sinusite odontogênica por meio de um relato de caso clínico

ABSTRACT

Una fístula oroantral es una solución de continuidad patológica entre el seno maxilar y la cavidad oral, producida frecuentemente tras una extracción dentaria, en la mayoría de los casos, del primer o segundo molar. El síntoma más común que provoca es una sinusitis aguda, que evolucionará a la cronicidad si la fístula permanece. El diagnóstico se realiza mediante endoscopia transalveolar, ortopantografía o tomografía computarizada dental. Su cierre quirúrgico es necesario cuando la fístula tiene más de 3 mm, o no sella por sí misma en 3 semanas. Existen, para ello, varias técnicas, usando distintos materiales y colgajos, cuyo fin es ocluir, tanto el defecto óseo, como el mucoso, para solucionar así a la vez la fístula y el problema sinusal(AU)


The oroantral fistula is a solution of pathological continuity between the maxillary sinus and the oral cavity, frequently produced after a teeth extraction in most of cases of the first or second molars. The commonest symptom provoked is an acute sinusitis evolving to chronicity if the fistula remains. The diagnosis is made by transalveolar, orthopantography or dental computerized tomography. Its surgical closure is necessary when the fistula has more than 3 mm or not seal by itself in three weeks. For it, there are some techniques using different materials and flaps where its objective is to occlude the bone defect as well as the mucous one thus solving the fistula and the sinus problem(AU)

ABSTRACT

Radiographs of para nasal sinuses are frequently taken in patients with obvious nasal pathology to rule out concomitant sinus disease. To compare the X-ray findings with the result of proof puncture in patients with maxillary sinus disease. This study was carried out in the ENT Department, Nishtar Hospital, Multan with the symptoms and signs of sinunasal disease during the period from October 2008 to August 2009. These patients underwent detailed history and thorough clinical examination. Symptoms suggestive of sinus disease included nasal and post nasal discharge, nasal obstruction, cough, sore throat and headache. Out of 80 patients, 48 [60%] were male and 32 [40%] were female. As regards age, 7 [8.7%] patients were between the age of 10-19 years, 34 [42.5%] were between 20-29 years, 25 [3 1.3%] patients were between 30-39 years of age. Whereas 11 [13.7%] patients were between the age of 40-49 and only three patients were above 50 years. The radiological findings were compared with results of antral lavage. In cases of air fluid level and opaque sinus, antral lavage is mostly positive

ABSTRACT

To emphasize that headache due to chronic sinusitis must be differentiated from all other forms of headache clearing the misconception of relating almost every headache with sinusitis. This is a descriptive study. The study was carried out at the department of ENT, PNS SHIFA Naval hospital Karachi from March 2002 to March 2004. This study was carried out on 100 patients who were selected from the OPD as convenient sampling. It included patients referred to otolaryngology department who were having radiological evidence of maxillary sinusitis on plain x-ray PNS and were being investigated for headache of more than one-month duration. All the patients underwent a detailed history, clinical and E.N.T. examinations. Bilateral antral washouts were performed. Patients were compared on the bases of various parameters for instance age, gender, duration, severity, type and location of headache, effects of treatment for chronic sinusitis in ameliorating headache. A follow up for a period of three months were carried out. After the study the collected data was processed, analyzed and the final results were made. Majority of the cases belonged to the age group of 21 to 35 years [70%]. A large majority of the patients were not sure about any aggravating conditions. 28% cases were unable to recognize any pain-relieving factor. Only 9% patients were severely affected. 23% patients were having structured problems e.g., deviated nasal septum, nasal polypi and enlarged turbinates. In 39% cases antral wash on one or both sides revealed mucoid discharge. 17% patients expressed that they were markedly improved with the treatment. 83% did not improve remarkably, revealing that chronic maxillary sinusitis was not the main cause of headache in those patients. It was concluded that although sinusitis is associated with headache in majority of the cases but headache is not a major symptom in chronic maxillary sinusitis. Patients primarily presenting with headache have chronic sinusitis in a few cases only. It is recommended that not all the patients of headache with hazy X-ray PNS should be subjected to only the treatment of chronic sinusitis to relieve headache

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the accuracy of endoscopically guided middle meatal aspiration culture by comparing the culture results between middle meatal aspiration using the modified aspiration instrument and direct maxillary antral tap. MATERIAL AND METHOD: Sixteen patients with chronic rhinosinusitis underwent functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) were enrolled. Both endoscopically middle meatal aspiration culture (EMAC) using modified aspiration instrument and direct antral tap culture (ATC) were performed before FESS. Microbiologic data were compared and analyzed for any statistical differences between EMAC and ATC. RESULTS: The positive culture rates were 93.75% in both EMAC and ATC groups. Aerobic and facultative anaerobic bacteria were found in 87.5% of EMAC group and 81.25% of ATC group. The two most common bacteria in both groups were coagulase-negative Staphylococcus and Staphylococcus aureus. The association between EMAC and ATC was strong to moderate (13/16) 81.25%. CONCLUSION: EMAC appears to be a valuable alternative to ATC for guiding bacterial-specific therapy in chronic rhinosinusitis. This modified aspiration instrument should be useful in clinical practice and serve as a cost effective procedure.

ABSTRACT

Los senos paranasales, llamados cavidades anexas a las fosas nasales, que en un número de ocho, cuatro a cada lado, se distinguen en: Seno Maxilar, Etmoidal, Frontal y Esfenoidal. Estos pueden estar afectados por un gran número de agentes infecciosos como virus, bacterias y hongos. Las lesiones inflamatorias que afectan los Senos Paranasales reciben la denominación genérica de Sinusitis y pueden instalarse en las cavidades sinusales utilizando la vía nasal, bucal u odontógena, externa o facial y hematógena. A través de estas vías de acceso, las infecciones penetran los diferentes senos y la forma clínica toma el nombre del seno afectado. Cuando la sinusitis abarca todas las cavidades recibe el nombre de Pansinusitis. Como fuentes dentarias de sinusitis maxilar han sido consideradas los abscesos periapicales, infección periapical crónica, lesiones periodontales extensas, o perforación del piso o mucosa antral de éste en el momento de una extracción dental. Se presenta un caso de esta entidad en una paciente de 45 años de edad, con sintomatología referente a Sinusitis de larga data. Se le realizaron estudios radiográficos, donde se evidenció la presencia de un canino superior derecho incluido como posible causa de la enfermedad. Se indicó tratamiento quirúrgico con antibioticoterapia, observándose mejoría del cuadro clínico y se pudo concluir que se trataba de una Sinusitis Crónica de origen dentario

ABSTRACT

El estudio evalúa la efectividad de la azitromicina en el tratamiento de la sinusitis maxilar recurrente en el paciente pediátrico. El diagnóstico se fundamentó en la sintomatología sugestiva de la enfermedad como fiebre, tos, rinorrea purulenta y goteo postnasal acompañados de una radiografía convencional en proyección de Waters con hallazgos anormales como opacidad de uno ó ambos antros maxilares ó engrosamiento de 4 ó más milímetros de la mucosa antral. Se aislaron en el cultivo predominante S.pneumoniae, H.influenzae y M.catarrhalis. Se incluyeron 20 pacientes entre 1 y ocho años, que recibieron azitromicina los días lunes, martes y miércoles de 3 semanas consecutivas a razón de 10 mg/kg/día en dosis única diaria. Se obtuvo curación en 15 niños (75 por ciento) y mejoría (15 por ciento). El porcentaje de recurrencia a las 4 semanas fue de 11 por ciento (2 pacientes). Estos resultados sugieren que la azitromicina parece ser una alternativa efectiva en el tratamiento de niños con esta enfermedad

ABSTRACT

La exploración endoscópica rígida de nariz y senos paranasales, complementada con un estudio tomográfico, juega un papel primordial en el diagnóstico de enfermedad nasosinusal. Se estudiaron 50 pacientes con sintomatología nasosinusal crónica a los que se les realizó un cuestionario estandarizado, rinoscopía anterior, endoscopía rígida, radiografías simples, tomografía (TC) y cirugía. Los resultados revelaron que la endoscopía identificó patología en 21 pacientes sin hallazgos patológicos a la exploración física. Asimismo, la TC identificó patología en 27 pacientes con imágenes de normalidad en las radiografías simples. La endoscopía rígida resultó ser un estudio con una alta sensibilidad y especificidad. En cambio, la TC tiene poca especificidad y por lo tanto una clara tendencia a sobre diagnosticar enfermedad nasosinusal. Se sugiere la utilización de la endoscopía rígida de manera rutinaria en pacientes con sintomatología nasosinusal crónica y el solicitar TC únicamente cuando la endoscopía halla demostrado patología y exista necesidad de conocer su extensión y relación anatómica. Esto hará que el diagnóstico de esta enfermedad se haga de una manera más efectiva tomando en cuenta el costo beneficio de los diferentes estudios.
