Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Pharmacy (IOSRPHR) - Year 2015, Vol 5, Issue 5
Abstract
The maxillary sinus is most commonly affected sinus. The clinical manifestations of rhinosinusitis are diverse. Complications arise due to spread of infection beyond the bony walls (limits) of sinus. However, the findings of physical examination may vary from simple mucopurulent discharge in nasal cavity to edema over septum & edema over inferior turbinate which is rare. Erosion of maxillary sinus wall may also occur in case of chronic sinusitis. The regions of normal dehiscence (semi lunar hiatus and infra-orbital canal) are more prone to destruction by sinusitis. Here we report a patient with rhinosinusitis who presented to us with complain of mass in left nostril and dehiscent medial wall of maxillary sinus.
