Chronic maxillary sinusitis - what does this mean
Chronic maxillary sinusitis is an inflammation of the mucous membranes in the maxillary sinuses, which are located on either side of the nose. it is caused by a bacterial, viral, or fungal infection, or by allergies, structural abnormalities, or environmental irritants. symptoms include facial pain and pressure, nasal congestion, headache, postnasal drip, and a diminished sense of smell. treatment typically includes antibiotics, decongestants, and antihistamines.
What happens during the disease - chronic maxillary sinusitis
Chronic maxillary sinusitis is caused by a combination of factors, including obstruction of the maxillary sinus ostia, which results in decreased ventilation and drainage of the sinus cavity. this obstruction can be caused by a variety of factors, including structural abnormalities such as polyps, inflammation of the mucosa, anatomical defects, and foreign bodies. the combination of these factors leads to an accumulation of mucus and bacteria in the sinus cavity, resulting in infection and inflammation of the sinus walls.
