PNEUMOSINUS DILATANS – A RARE DISORDER OF PARANASAL SINUSES
Journal Title: International Journal of Anatomy and Research - Year 2018, Vol 0, Issue 1
Abstract
Pneumosinus dilatans is a very rare disorder of the paranasal sinuses, most commonly affecting the frontal sinuses (Pneumosinus dilatans frontalis). So far only 134 cases are reported in the literature. The exact etiology of this disorder is unknown. The pathology causes abnormal dilatation of paranasal sinuses. Most patients are asymptomatic while others can have clinical features of frontal bossing, head ache, visual defects etc. The diagnosis is by computed tomographic imaging. We here report a case of pneumosinus dilatans frontalis in a 22 year old male patient presented with nasal obstruction.
