Nose And Paranasal Sinuses

Diseases of a nose and paranasal sinuses are in the lead among pathology of upper respiratory tract. The incidence of chronic sinusitis in children ranges from 16 to 34%. Deviation of a nasal septum is detected in 74% of children at the age of 14 years. There are researches proving efficiency of one-stage performing septoplasty and FESS operations at adult patients. At the same time, data on efficiency and safety of carrying out onestage septum-operation and FESS at children’s age aren’t enough. Improvement of nasal breathing and providing broad access to the surgical area is a result of such interventions. It is also possible to refer decrease anesthesiology load of the child and readmission number. Carrying out low-invasive operations on structures of nose and paranasal sinuses under endoscopic control allows to reduce traumatization of a mucous membrane and improves visibility of the surgery field for the operator. Simultaneous surgical treatment of paranasal sinuses and a nasal septum deviation using methods of FESS in children is a perspective and safe method of treatment. Such surgery demands good practical skills, up-to-date equipment, correct algorithm of performing surgical intervention and also thorough observation of the patient in preoperative and postoperative periods.

The study analyzed the functional parameters of nasal breathing, linear parameters of the nasal aperture, nasal cavity and nasopharynx, volumetric parameters of the upper airways in patients with II and III skeletal class of jaw anomalies before and after orthognathic surgery. The respiratory function of the nose was assessed using a rhinomanometric complex. According to rhinoresistometry data, nasal resistance and hydraulic diameter were assessed. According to the data of acoustic rhinometry, the minimum cross-sectional area along the internal valve, the minimum cross-sectional area on the head of the inferior turbinate and nasal septum and related parameters were estimated. According to the CBCT data, the state of the nasal septum, the inferior turbinates, the nasal aperture, the state of the nasal cavity, and the linear values of the upper respiratory tract (nasopharynx) were analyzed. The patients were divided into 4 groups according to the classification of the patency of the nasal passages by

Nose And Paranasal Sinuses

Acute and chronic sinusitis are common primary care presentations. They are caused by mucosal inflammation, which inhibits mucociliary function of the nose and paranasal sinuses. Because it affects the mucous membranes that line both the nose and the sinuses, the complete medical word for sinusitis is "rhinosinusitis". Sinusitis is usually caused by a viral upper respiratory tract infection, with bacterial sinusitis occurring in about 2% of cases, yet in most cases overall antibiotics are being used and prescribed which is in most part are not needed, and cases often resolves without antibiotics need, most general practitioners rely on clinical findings to make the diagnosis. Watchful waiting and symptom treatment with nasal oxymetazoline, pseudoephedrine, and saline nasal irrigation are recommended. In this paper, we overview the presentation and management of sinusitis.

Mucosal Hypertrophy

The presence of upper respiratory tract obstruction in patients with acromegaly has been described. The main sites for obstruction were previously thought to be laryngeal and oropharyngeal. This reviews 65 patients with acromegaly and 27 patients with a prolactinoma treated by trans-ethmoidal hypophysectomy. The results confirmed a very high incidence of polyp formation and mucosal hypertrophy within both the sphenoid (88 per cent) and ethmoidal (62 per cent) sinuses of the acromegalic patients. The histological appearances of the mucosal hypertrophy and polyposis confirmed no specific features attributable to acromegaly. Patient age and serum H.G.H. level do not appear to be significance factors. These findings within the para-nasal sinuses have never previously been reported.

Minimal Invasiveness

Relevance: Modern endonasal surgery allows to remove polyps from all affected paranasal sinuses, following the principles of minimal invasiveness. Minimal traumatic of surgical intervention gives the best results, accompanied by less progression of the disease. Minimal invasiveness of surgical intervention and its obligatory combination with postoperative medical treatment are common practice in many countries. One of the drugs that actively effect the restoration of the mucous membrane of the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses in the early postoperative period is Nazomer, which includes sodium hyaluronate and dexpanthenol in saline solution. The purpose of the study is to investigate the effectiveness of the drug Nazomer in patients with polyposis rhinosinusitis after endoscopic polyposynosotomy. Results and discussion: The main group consisted of 30 patients with polyposis rhinosinusitis, who were prescribed Nasomer in addition to standard treatment in the postoperative period. The control group included 30 patients who underwent standard treatment in the postoperative period. As criteria for clinical efficacy, data from endoscopic examination of the nasal cavity and indicators of anterior rhinomatometry, measured by the «Optimus» device, were selected. In the main group, the index of nasal breathing according to rhinomatometry was better than the results of patients in the control group on the 3rd and 5th day of the postoperative period by 26% and 24%, respectively. Conclusion: The use of the drug Nazomer in the postoperative period in patients with polyposis rhinosinusitis contributes to more active restoration of respiratory function of the nasal cavity compared with the control group, according to rhinomatometry, up to 26%. Based on the results obtained, the drug Nazomer is an effective anti-inflammatory and regenerative agent in the postoperative period in patients with polyposis rhinosinusitis.

Tract Infections

Upper respiratory tract infections (URTI) are a large group of infectious diseases (mainly viral and bacterial), affecting the mucous of the nasal cavity, paranasal sinuses, pharynx and larynx. URTI are very common in inpatient and outpatient clinical practice. In this article, we present a clinical case of Patient N., 20 years old, consulted with upper respiratory tract damage caused by Chlamydia pneumoniae. The patient admitted to clinical diagnostic center on 07.07.2021 with complaints of pain in the left maxillary sinus with irradiation to the left temporal region, difficulty in nasal breathing, pain in the pharynx, aggravated by swallowing, and increased body temperature (37,5 °C). The patient was consulted by an interdisciplinary team (ENT doctor and clinical pharmacologist). After carrying out physical, instrumental and laboratory tests the diagnose Chlamydia pneumoniae - associated URTI was established and, the patient was prescribed doxycycline at a dose of 100 mg 2 two times a day on the 1st day following by 100 once a day for the next 6 days with a positive effect. The doxycycline was choisen because of a more favorable safety and efficacy profile compared to fluoroquinolones and some other antibacterial agents. After 7 days of treatment, the patient recovered completely. Among all doxycycline drugs available on the market of the Russian Federation, Doxycycline Express (JSC Pharmstandard-Leksredstva) stands out due to its high quality, bioequivalence to the original drug and comfortable regime of use due to the dosage form (dispersible tablets), that increases the patient’s compliance and allows it to be used by some special categories of patients (elderly and senile patients, patients with dysphagia, etc.

Pain Symptoms

The search for rational treatment of diseases of the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses is due to the high incidence among the world's population. Despite the absolutely clear recommendations that would seem to greatly facilitate the choice and scope of therapy, it is extremely important to have a differentiated approach to each patient, depending on age, concomitant pathology, the nature of the course of the disease, the severity of clinical, primarily pain symptoms, and the presence of rhinogenic complications. Differential diagnosis of viral and bacterial acute rhinosinusitis (ARS) allows to avoid unreasonable prescription of antibiotics in the former case and choose therapy in such a way as to help relieve clinical symptoms, timely cure the disease and prevent complications. A systematic review of the literature was conducted with the analysis of scientific research data on the evaluation of the effectiveness of protargol or silver proteinate in the local treatment of upper respiratory tract diseases. A review of studies shows that silver proteinate has astringent, antiseptic and anti-inflammatory effects. The spectrum of antimicrobial action of silver is much wider than many antibiotics and sulfonamides. At the same time, pathogenic microflora is more sensitive to silver ions than non-pathogenic microflora. The analysis of the works also demonstrates the absence of adverse reactions when using this drug. The obtained data allow us to recommend preparations based on silver proteinate as a complex therapy for acute and chronic diseases of the nasal cavity and nasopharynx. The vasoconstrictive effect of protargol allows it to be used as an alternative to decongestants in order to avoid the development of drug-induced rhinitis and tachyphylaxis. Sialor® is a new, convenient, affordable, longer-shelf-life form of silver proteinate.

Aerosol deposition in the upper and lower respiratory tract using technetium-labelled water aerosol, produced by jet and ultrasonic nebulizers, with and without 10% propylene glycol, was examined under conditions of nasal, normal mouth, and tube breathing in 15 normal adults. With nasal breathing, 91.5% (± 5.5) and 83.2% (± 6.3) of the mass of the aerosol produced by the jet and ultrasonic nebulizers, respectively, was deposited in the upper respiratory tract. Similar fractional depositions were observed with the addition of 10% propylene glycol. When breathing was carried out via a mouth tube, 43% to 59% of the mass of the aerosol produced by the nebulizers was deposited in the upper respiratory tract. The mass median diameters of the available aerosols produced by the jet and ultrasonic nebulizers were 6.0 µ (geometric standard deviation = 2.5) and 2.8 µ (geometric standard deviation = 2.1), respectively; the densities of the aerosols produced were 8 and 34 µl/liter air. With nasal or normal mouth breathing, the volume of water, in aerosol form, that could be deposited per 24 hours in the lower respiratory tract of an adult was calculated to be about 6 ml and 49 ml for the jet and ultrasonic nebulizer, respectively.

Nose And Paranasal Sinuses

The external nose is pyramidal and consists of a bony cartilaginous framework. The root/radix is continuous with the forehead an inferiorly terminates at the nasal tip. The dorsum of the nose is formed by two lateral surfaces that converge in the midline. The cartilaginous structure of the nose is formed by paired upper (lateral) cartilages that contribute to the internal nasal valve with the nasal bones, and lower lateral cartilages, combined with additional minor nasal cartilages that surround the ala. The nasal septum relies upon anastomoses from five vessels: two from the ophthalmic, two from the maxillary and one from the facial. Collectively, they form Kieselbach’s plexus. The paranasal sinuses are the frontal, sphenoidal, ethmoidal and maxillary – located within the bones of the same name. They are paired structures lined with mucosa that is continuous with the lateral nasal side wall into which they drain, facilitating clearance of mucus by way of the mucociliary escalator.

Background Subperiosteal orbital abscess (SPOA) typically presents as a collection of pus in the space between the periorbit and the lamina papyracea adjacent to the infected paranasal sinuses. The aim of this study was to investigate the simultaneous microbiological growth from an SPOA and the paranasal sinuses in the same children. Methods A retrospective study was performed on cultures obtained from involved sinuses and surgically drained abscesses in young children with SPOA from January 1992 to March 2009. Results Twenty-two children with a mean age of 5.9 years were included. Results of the microbiological studies were available from the sinuses of 17 children (77.2%) and from the SPOA in 18 children (81.8%). High rates of staphylococci bacteria and Streptococcus viridans were observed compared with lower-than-expected upper respiratory tract infection pathogens. Both groups showed scarce anaerobic and polymicrobial growth. In 13 children (59%), both sinus and abscess culture results were available with correlation found in only 4 (30.7%) of these children. Conclusion In this study we report the results of bacteriological studies of nasal sinuses and SPOAs in young children, with a low rate of correlation between both sites and low rates of anaerobic growth, but high rates of staphylococcal growth in the SPOA cultures. These observations might be related to the trend toward conservative treatment in children.

Extramedullary (extraosseous) plasmacytoma represents a rare disease that accounts for less 5% of plasma cell neoplasms. It commonly occurs in the upper respiratory tract, with 80% of cases involving the paranasal sinuses, nasopharynx, or nasal cavity. Plasmacytomas of the eyelid are very rare with only ten cases having been reported in the literature so far. We present the clinical and histopathologic findings from a case of plasmacytoma of the eyelid and discuss its histopathologic differential diagnoses. To our knowledge, this is the first case of plasmacytoma of the eyelid in an HIV-positive patient in the English literature
