82. Sinusitis In Children sinusitis in children is different than sinusitis in adults. sinusitis in Children. Your child’s sinuses are not fully developed until age 20. http://www.entcolumbia.org/sininf.htm

Sinusitis in Children Your child’s sinuses are not fully developed until age 20. Although small, the maxillary (behind the cheek) and ethmoid (between the eyes) sinuses are present at birth. In contrast to adults, sinusitis may be difficult to diagnose because symptoms can be subtle and the causes complex. How do I know when my child has sinusitis? The following symptoms may indicate a sinus infection in your child: a "cold" lasting more than 10 to 14 days, sometimes with a low-grade fever; thick yellow-green nasal drainage; chronic cough, especially at night post-nasal drip, sometimes leading to or exhibited as sore throat, cough, bad breath, nausea and/or vomiting; headache, usually not before age 6; irritability or fatigue; swelling around the eyes. Young children have immature immune systems and are more prone to infections of the nose, sinus, and ears, especially in the first several years of life. These are most frequently caused by viral infections (colds), and they may be aggravated by allergies. However, when your child remains ill beyond the usual week to ten days, a sinus infection is likely. You can reduce the risk of sinus infections for your child by reducing exposure to known environmental allergens and pollutants such as tobacco smoke, reducing his/her time at day care, and treating stomach acid reflux disease.

83. Sinusitis sinusitis, or inflammation of the paranasal sinuses, may be caused by obstruction or congestion. Common What is sinusitis? sinusitis http://www.entcolumbia.org/sinusit.htm

Sinusitis What are Sinuses? The sinuses are air-filled spaces located in the skull. The four pairs of paranasal sinuses, connecting to the nasal passage, include: The frontal sinuses (in the forehead) The maxillary sinuses (behind the cheekbones) The ethmoid sinuses (between the eyes), and The sphenoid sinuses (behind the eyes). Lining the sinuses are membranes that secrete mucous, which entraps bacteria and absorbs pollutants, and drain into the nasal passage. In healthy sinuses, the mucous membranes are intact, the sinus passages are open enough to allow drainage and air circulation through the nasal passage, and cilia (small, hair-like projections) propel the mucous outward. What is Sinusitis? Sinusitis is an infection that may be caused by one or more problems with the normal functioning of the sinuses. Various conditions may impair the flow of air through the nasal passage, obstruct the sinuses, or cause the mucous to thicken and become stagnated. If secretions are prevented from draining and air flow is blocked, then certain bacteria easily grow in the sinuses, causing infection, swelling, and inflammation. Types of Sinusitis Acute Sinusitis Acute sinusitis is most commonly triggered by a viral cold or flu that infects the upper respiratory tract and causes congestion and obstruction. Bacteria such as streptococcus pneumonia, H. influenzae, and Moraxella (or Branhamella) catarrhalis are the most common culprits. Less common bacteria include other streptococcal strains, staphylococcus aureus and others. Viruses are implicated in only about 10% of cases. Fungi are an uncommon cause of sinusitis in the US, but are serious and must be treated immediately if detected. People with diabetes and compromised immune systems are at higher than normal risk for acute, invasive fungal sinusitis.

Prevention Introduction Sinusitis is a common problem caused by acute or chronic inflammation of the paranasal sinuses. The paranasal sinuses are aerated cavities in the bones of the face that develop from the nasal cavity and maintain communication with it. The main sinuses are the maxillary, the frontal, the ethmoid, and the sphenoid sinuses. Maxillary sinusitis is the most common type of sinusitis. The ethmoid, frontal and sphenoid sinuses are affected less frequently. Cause and Pathogenesis Sinusitis is caused by a variety of bacteria such as streptococci, staphylococci, pneumococci and Haemophilus influenzae viruses such as the influenza and the parainfluenza virus and less commonly by fungi such as aspergillus. Sinusitis often begins after an acute respiratory infection, which very often could be viral. Less commonly it may occur after a tooth extraction or other dental procedures, or after diving or swimming in contaminated water. Sometimes sudden changes in the climate, especially the sudden movement into cold climes, can also trigger an attack. Patients with

Medical Services Sinusitis Sinusitis Treatment Types of Sinusitis Symptoms and Diagnosis Appointments ... Medical Services Treatment of Sinusitis at Mayo Clinic in Rochester (Synonyms: Chronic sinusitis) Paranasal sinuses are cavities within the skull that lead into the nose and are lined with the same type of membranes that line the inside of the nose. When one or more of the sinus cavities are inflamed, causing inadequate drainage of the sinuses, a condition known as sinusitis results. The infection can be bacterial, fungal or viral and can be caused by inflammation and allergies. Sinusitis can be divided into three categories: acute, subacute and chronic. Chronic sinusitis is extremely common and affects adults more than children. Treatment Options Patients who have chronic sinusitis that is, a sinus inflammation that persists for three months or longer should see their personal physician or an ear, nose and throat specialist (otorhinolaryngologist) for the appropriate treatment for this disease. Many times the disease is associated with asthma or allergies and treatment of those associated problems tends to help the chronic sinusitis. Antibiotics don't help chronic sinusitis in the long run because they target bacteria, which are not usually the cause of chronic sinusitis. Anti-histamines, nasal steroid sprays and systemic steroids are the mainstays of treatment today, depending on the symptoms of the patient.

Home Articles The Connection Between Allergies and Sinusitis Allergies and Sinusitis Hay fever and other allergic reactions can be contributing factors to sinusitis. Allergies can trigger swelling in the sinus and nasal mucous linings. The swelling can cause sinus passages to close up, trapping bacteria in the upper respiratory tract. Bacteria in the sinuses can develop into a sinus infection. Sinusitis is an inflammation of the hollow cavities around the eyes and nose known as the nasal sinuses. While allergic rhinitis (hay fever) is an inflammation of the mucous membranes of the nose, sinusitis is an inflammation of the sinuses. Symptoms of sinusitis can vary depending on the level of inflammation and the area inflamed. Allergy and Sinusitis Symptoms Frequent allergic reactions, resulting in sinusitis, can cause sinusitis to become a chronic condition. Chronic sinusitis sufferers have frequent and ongoing inflammation of the sinus membranes. The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases lists several symptoms that are associated with sinusitis. Some symptoms include: Headache in the morning Pain when pressure is applied to the forehead over the frontal sinuses Aching in the upper jaw and teeth along with tender cheeks

More Emergency Medicine Resources Back to table of contents 3.11 Sinusitis Presentation What to do: Rule out other causes of facial pain or headache via history (did the patient wake up with a typical migraine?) and physical examination (palpate scalp muscles, temporal arteries, temperomandibular joints, eyes, and teeth). Shrink swollen nasal mucosa (and thereby open the ostia draining the sinuses) with 1% phenylephrine (Neo-Synephrine) or 0.05% oxymetazoline (Afrin) nose drops. Drip 2 drops in each nostril, have the patient lie supine 2 minutes, and then repeat the process (this allows the first application to open the anterior nose so the second gets farther back). Have the patient repeat this process every 4 hours, but for no more than three days (to avoid rhinitis medicamentosa). Examine the nose for purulent drainage before and after shrinking the nasal mucosa with topical vasoconstrictor. Add systemic sympathomimetic decongestants (e.g., pseudephedrine (Sudafed) 60mg q6h or phenylpropanolamine (Entex LA) 75mg q12h). If there is fever, pus, heat, or any other sign of a bacterial superinfection, add antibiotics (e.g., amoxicillin, trimethoprim plus sulfamethoxazole, amoxicillin plus clavulinate, erythromycin plus sulfasoxazole, cefuroxime). First-line antibiotic therapy is amoxicillin, or, for patients with penicillin allergy, Bactrim or Sulfa. If the patient has been recently treated with these medications or if the infection appears to be serious, then treat with a second-line drug like Ceftin or Augmentin.

Acute Sinusitis Acute sinusitis is an infection of one or more sinuses. Several factors contribute to sinus infections, including blockage of sinus drainage due to swollen nasal lining. Treatment Blow nose gently, both nostrils at the same time. Breathe steam from the shower or hot water in the sink. Drape a towel over your head and the bowl and breathe the steam, taking care not to burn yourself. Use a humidifier in your bedroom while you sleep. Put warm, moist cloths over the affected sinus(es). Increase your consumption of fluids, preferably water and juices. Nasal irrigation is very beneficial. Return to the clinic in 48 hours if there is no relief of sinus symptoms. Return to the clinic toward the end of the antibiotic treatment if symptoms persist. Possible areas of pain Decongestants These constrict blood vessels in the nose, decreasing congestion and facilitating drainage. Pseudoephedrine (Sudafed) 30mg, 2 tablets every 4- 6 hours as needed, up to 8 tablets a day. Phenylproprandamine (in Dimetapp, Entex), 1 tablet if directed by your clinician.

COMPLICATIONS OF SINUSITIS July 13, 1995 Carla M. Giannoni, M.D. Orbital complications Sinonasal disease accounts for the majority of orbital infections (up to 85%). Ethmoid sinuses are almost always implicated in orbital disease; maxillary and frontal sinuses may also be involved. Spread may be direct with erosion of the lamina or through a prior fracture or by thrombophlebitic spread into the orbit. Orbital complications as staged by Chandler (1970) are: preseptal cellulitis, orbital cellulitis, subperiosteal abscess, orbital abscess, and cavernous sinus thrombosis (dural thrombophlebitis). Preseptal cellulitis is an inflammation and infection of the eyelids, outside the orbital septum. Orbital cellulitis is a diffuse infiltration of bacteria and inflammatory cells in the orbit. A subperiosteal abscess is a collection of pus between the periorbita and the bony orbit walls. Orbital abscess refers to a discrete collection of pus within the orbital tissues; systemic symptoms are common and orbital apex syndrome may occur. Cavernous sinus thrombosis is a late stage and highly morbid disease. Infection is spread posteriorly through the venous channels; patients have proptosis, ophthalmoplegia, decreased visual acuity, paplliedema, dilated pupil, mental status decline, and superior orbital fissure syndrome; bilateral symptoms herald this entity.

This material should not be used as a basis for treatment decisions, and is not a substitute for professional consultation and/or peer-reviewed medical literature. SINUSITIS IN IMMUNODEFICIENCY DISORDERS IN CHILDREN H. Jeff Kim, MD December 30, 1993 Sinusitis is a common illness in children. Primary immunodeficiency disease can predispose children to recurrent and chronic sinusitis. A child is designated as "sinusitis-prone" if he or she suffers 3 or more episodes of sinusitis within a year or if he or she requires antibiotic therapy for control of sinusitis for 3 or more months during a year. The majority of sinusitis-prone children are atopic not immunodeficient. The incidence of all immunodeficiency diseases in children is only 0.5%, which is 16 to 40 times less than the incidence of respiratory allergy. The symptoms of sinusitis in the immunodeficient child are the same as in the allergic or immunologically normal child. Nasal obstruction, nasal discharge, and cough are the common symptoms. Allergy patients are more likely to have a family history of allergy, a seasonal pattern of respiratory problems and other allergy-related symptoms and signs. The undiagnosed immunodeficiency children frequently develop bacterial infection in addition to respiratory infections. They always take an antibiotic and become ill shortly after discontinuing antibiotics. Recurrent pneumonia, meningitis, cellulitis, candidiasis, chronic diarrhea, and failure to thrive are often present in more severe childhood immunodeficiency disorders. More commonly, recurrent/chronic sinusitis may be the only indication that a patient is immunodeficient. The presence of a positive family history for immunodeficiency is also common since many of the disorders are hereditary.

ANATOMY: There are eight paranasal sinuses, four on each side of the midline. They are the paired frontal, ethmoidal (anterior and posterior), maxillary and sphenoidal sinuses. They are lined with a pseudostratisfied columnar (respiratory) epithelium which is continuous with the nasal mucosa. The lining provides a mucous secretion which traps bacteria and subsequently extrudes the mucous and bacteria through the sinus ostia to be swallowed or expectorated. Under normal conditions, the sinuses are air filled and communicate directly with the nasal passages through patent ostia.
