sinusitus

OBJECTIVE: Granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA), formerly called Wegener's syndrome, is a vasculitis associated with antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody and may occur in all ages but mostly in order adults. The organs most frequently involved are the ear, nose and throat (rhinitis, sinusitus, oral ulcers, chondritis), the lungs (nodules, sometimes cavitating, infiltrates, hilar adenopathy) and the kidneys (glomerulonephritis). As patients typically present with constitutional symptoms, the diagnosis can be challenging...

Kartagener's syndrome is an inherited disease characterized by a triad of symptoms, bronchiectasis, situs inversus and sinusitus. We report a case of a 53-year-old woman with the syndrome who received bilateral simple mastectomies and axillary lymph node dissections on ambulatory basis. She received antibiotic treatment until the day of surgery. She was admitted to our day surgery unit with productive cough and rales on both lungs on the day of surgery. General anesthesia was induced and maintained with propofol, fentanyl and vecuronium...

In this double blind randomized placebo controlled clinical trial of filgrastim in chronic sinusitus, we analyzed costs of a 24-week interval in which filgrastim was administered. Since we hypothesized that the scheduled preventive visits within the trial might cause savings as compared to the regular situation in which these patients have a strong tendency to visit the outpatient clinic immediately in case of complications, direct medical costs within the trial were also compared to costs of regular treatment...

OBJECTIVE: Acute sinusitis is a common condition encountered in general practice and raises the question of appropriate management. Sufficient data are still lacking in the literature to provide a fully satisfactory response. METHODS: We conducted a survey among 193 physicians representative of the general practitioners in France to collect 755 cases of acute sinusitis treated in the outpatient setting from January 6 through March 15, 1999. We recorded clinical features and therapeutic management...

Gastroesophageal reflux (GER) is a common problem which can manifest as vomiting, failure to thrive, recurrent pneumonias, asthma, sinusitus, or subglottic stenosis. The medical management plan should be individualized. A "happy spitter" who has no complications of GER may respond well to conservative management, including positioning and thickening of feedings. A child with complications may require treatment with H-2 antagonists or proton pump inhibitors in conjunction with prokinetic agents. Children with gastrointestinal symptoms suggestive of GER who do not respond to antireflux management may need to be treated for eosinophilic esophagitis...

A previously undocumented complication of root canal therapy is reported. A dilute solution of 5-10 mls sodium hypochlorite was inadvertently injected into the maxillary sinus during root canal therapy of a right upper second premolar (5). The patient developed acute, sudden, severe facial pain and swelling necessitating emergency admission to hospital and operative intervention under general anaesthesia. A diagnosis of acute chemical sinusitus was made, further management and discussion follow.

Sinus aspergilloses, which can be classified as aspergillar sinusitis and pseudo-tumoral forms, are probably much more prevalent than would appear form the published literature. Many cases of caseous sinusitus reported since the end of the last century were probably unrecognized aspergillosis infections. In the same way, primary rhinoliths can probably be related to aspergillosis. Many cases of sinus aspergillosis appear to be of dental origin, particularly when radiography detects the presence of dental obturation paste in the sinus opacity: this appearance in the sinus opacity: this appearance is almost pathognomic of the affection...
