Sinusitis La sinusitis es una inflamación aguda o crónica de los senos nasales (cavidades dentro de los huesos de la mejilla que se hallan alrededor de los ojos y detrás de la nariz). Las principales funciones de estos senos son entibiar, humedecer y filtrar el aire en la cavidad nasal. También juegan un papel importante en nuestra capacidad para vocalizar ciertos sonidos. La sinusitis, que es común en los meses de invierno, puede durar meses o años si no se trata en forma correcta. La sinusitis puede afectar la nariz, los ojos o el oído medio, y puede manifestarse por una secreción nasal profusa, espesa y de color, goteo post-nasal de mal sabor, tos, congestión de la cabeza y un dolor de cabeza acompañante. Los síntomas también pueden incluir nariz tapada, una sensación de hinchazón facial, dolor de muelas, cansancio constante y, ocasionalmente, fiebre. Tipos y causas de la sinusitis Hay dos tipos de sinusitis: la sinusitis aguda , la cual es ocasionada comúnmente por una infección bacteriana y, generalmente, evoluciona a una complicación cinco a diez días después de los primeros síntomas de una infección respiratoria viral como el resfriado común; y la

Tips to Remember: Sinusitis Sinusitis is an acute (very intense) or chronic (happening repeatedly or all the time) inflammation of the nasal sinuses - hollow cavities within the cheek bones found around the eyes and behind the nose. The primary functions of these sinuses are to warm, moisten and filter the air in the nasal cavity. They also play a role in our ability to vocalize certain sounds. Sinusitis, which is common in the winter, may last for months or years if inadequately treated. Sinusitis can affect the nose, eyes, or middle ear, and may be indicated by plentiful, thick, colored nasal drainage, bad-tasting post-nasal drip, cough, head congestion and an accompanying headache. Symptoms may also include a plugged-up nose, a feeling of facial swelling, toothache, constant tiredness, and occasionally, a fever. Types and causes of sinusitis There are two types of sinusitis: acute sinusitis , which is often caused by a bacterial infection. It usually develops as a complication of a viral respiratory infection, common cold, especially if symptoms last more than 7 to 10 days; and chronic sinusitis , which also may be caused by bacterial infection, but is more often a chronic inflammatory disorder similar to bronchial asthma.

What causes sinusitis? What are the types of sinusitis? ... Sinusitis At A Glance What is sinusitis? Sinusitis, inflammation of the paranasal sinuses, is one of the more common diseases that may afflict people throughout their lives. It is estimated that the average adult has three to four upper respiratory infections each year and that about 1% of these infections are complicated by sinusitis. In addition to sinusitis associated with these viral respiratory infections, many more people suffer inflammation of the sinuses as a result of seasonal allergic problems or hay fever . Other sources of irritation of the nasal passages which may lead to sinusitis include the use and /or abuse of over the counter nasal sprays and illegal substances that may be snorted through the nose. What are the paranasal sinuses? The paranasal sinuses are air-filled cavities in the dense portions of the bones of the skull, which were formed to decrease the overall weight of the skull. These air filled cavities are formed essentially in four left and right pairs. The frontal sinuses are positioned behind the area of the forehead, while the maxillary sinuses are behind the cheeks. The sphenoid and ethmoid sinuses are found deeper in the skull behind the eyes and maxillary sinuses. The sinuses are lined by mucous secreting cells. The air gets into the sinuses through small openings in the bones that allow connection to the nasal passageways, called ostia. If any of these openings become blocked, air can't properly pass into the sinuses and likewise the mucous produced by the cells lining the sinuses can't drain out.

The sinuses are hollow spaces, or cavities, in the head. When a mucous membrane becomes inflamed, it swells, blocking the drainage from the sinuses into the nose and throat and causing pressure and pain in the sinuses. Bacteria and fungus are more likely to grow in sinuses that are unable to drain properly. See an illustration of the locations of the facial (paranasal) sinuses See an illustration of blockage of a sinus passageway Health professionals consider rhinosinusitis a more accurate term for the condition because the nose and nasal passages (rhinitis) as well as the sinuses (sinusitis) are affected. However, the term sinusitis is more commonly used.

Sinusitis Treatment How is sinusitis diagnosed? Because your nose can get stuffy when you have a condition like the common cold, you may confuse simple nasal congestion with sinusitis. A cold, however, usually lasts about 7 to 14 days and disappears without treatment. Acute sinusitis often lasts longer and typically causes more symptoms than just a cold. Your doctor can diagnose sinusitis by listening to your symptoms, doing a physical examination, and taking X-rays, and if necessary, an MRI or CT scan (magnetic resonance imaging and computed tomography). How is sinusitis treated? After diagnosing sinusitis and identifying a possible cause, a doctor can suggest treatments that will reduce your inflammation and relieve your symptoms. Acute sinusitis If you have acute sinusitis, your doctor may recommend Decongestants to reduce congestion Antibiotics to control a bacterial infection, if present Pain relievers to reduce any pain You should, however, use over-the-counter or prescription decongestant nose drops and sprays for only few days. If you use these medicines for longer periods, they can lead to even more congestion and swelling of your nasal passages. If bacteria cause your sinusitis, antibiotics used along with a nasal or oral decongestant will usually help. Your doctor can prescribe an antibiotic that fights the type of bacteria most commonly associated with sinusitis.

Advanced Search Articles Departments Patient Information Acute Sinusitis: A Cost-Effective Approach to Diagnosis and Treatment L.J. FAGNAN, M.D., Oregon Health Sciences University, Portland, Oregon A patient information handout on caring for acute sinusitis, written by Elizabeth Smoots, M.D. , is provided on page 1805. S inusitis is a common ailment: 16 percent of the U.S. population reports a diagnosis of sinusitis annually, accounting for 16 million office visits. Public interest in sinusitis is exemplified by a 1997 Internet search using Alta Vista, which found 4,960 matches. Furthermore, sinusitis is a costly disorder: about $2 billion is spent annually on medications to treat nasal and sinus problems. The National Ambulatory Medical Care Survey (NAMCS) lists sinusitis as the fifth most common diagnosis for which an antibiotic is prescribed. Sinus Anatomy and Function The function of the paranasal sinuses is not clear, but theories include humidification and warming of inspired air, lightening of the skull, improvement of vocal resonance, absorption of shock to the face or skull, and secretion of mucus to assist with air filtration. The four paranasal sinuses (maxillary, frontal, ethmoid and sphenoid) develop as outpouchings of the nasal mucosa. They remain connected to the nasal cavity via narrow ostia with a lumen diameter of 1 to 3 mm (Figure 1) . The sinuses are lined with mucoperiosteum, which is thinner and less richly supplied with blood vessels and glands than the mucosa of the nasal cavity. Cilia sweep mucus toward the ostia. The ostia of the frontal, maxillary and anterior ethmoid sinuses open into the osteomeatal complex, which lies in the middle meatus lateral to the middle turbinate. The posterior ethmoid and sphenoid sinuses open into the superior meatus and sphenoethmoid recess. The osteomeatal complex is important because the frontal, ethmoid and maxillary sinuses drain through this area.

Table of Contents Conditions Sinusitis Also Listed As: Signs and Symptoms Causes Risk Factors Diagnosis ... Supporting Research Sinusitis refers to inflammation of the sinuses, which is generally caused by an infection (viral, bacterial, or fungal). The sinuses are air-filled spaces around the forehead, cheeks, and eyes that are lined with mucous membranes. Healthy sinuses are sterile (meaning that they contain no bacteria or other organisms) and open, allowing mucus to drain and air to circulate in the nasal passages. When inflamed, the sinuses become blocked with mucus and can become infected. Each year, over 30 million people (adults and children alike) get sinusitis in the United States at some point. Sinusitis can be acute (lasting anywhere from 2 to 8 weeks) or chronic, with symptoms lingering even longer than that. Signs and Symptoms The classic symptoms of acute sinusitis are listed below. These symptoms usually follow a cold that does not improve, or one that worsens after 5 to 7 days of symptoms. Nasal congestion (rhinitis)  Nasal discharge (yellow or green) Postnasal drip (a sensation of fluid dripping down the back of your throat, particularly at night or when lying down)

Sinusitis Sinuses are a part of the upper respiratory system. Adults and older children have four groups of sinus cavities located within the bones surrounding the nose. Very young children have small sinus passages rather than fully formed sinuses. They may be prone to developing sinusitis because their smaller sinus passages become obstructed more easily. To work properly, the sinuses need adequate mucus drainage and a functioning immune system to fight off infections. What is sinusitis? Sinusitis is an inflammation (swelling) of the mucous membranes that line the sinus cavities. This can interfere with normal sinus drainage and cause increased mucus production. Untreated and prolonged sinus inflammation can lead to infection and increased symptoms. The drainage from the nose and sinuses is known as post-nasal drip. Who develops sinusitis? The common cold (viral respiratory illnesses), allergies and factors in the environment are the most common triggers for the development of sinusitis. Other important factors may include tobacco exposure, nasal septal deviation, nasal polyps, dryness and mold sensitivity. Diseases such as asthma, cystic fibrosis, bronchiectasis, immune deficiencies and immotile cilia syndrome are often associated with sinusitis. What are the symptoms?
