Introduction: The postoperative drainage and the postoperative bleeding from maxillary sinus cavity have been controlled after functional sinus surgery. It has usually been done using the band of iodize gauze squeezed through the temporary opening in the vestibular mucosa or through the inferior meatal antrostomy. The aim of this study was to present the use of balloon-catheter in maxillary sinus surgery intendend for control of postoperative drainage and bleeding. Case report: Balloon-catheter was used in one female who was treated for anemia after chemotherapy and with allergy to iodine. It was inserted into the sinus cavity through the temporary inferior meatal antrostomy and removed five days after surgery without any postoperative discomforts and complications especially in this risk group of patients. Conclusion: The balloon-catheter surgery method used in risk group of patients improved the quality of postoperative period without significant complications.

Sinus floor augmentation (SFA) is the most predictable treatment option in the atrophic posterior maxilla. However, exposure of the apical implant body into the maxillary sinus cavity is an occasionally observed phenomenon after SFA. Although most penetrating dental implants remain completely asymptomatic, they may induce recurrent rhinosinusitis or implant loss. Removal of the implant should be considered if there is significant implant exposure that results in prolonged treatment and increased costs. This case report demonstrates a recovery approach using sinus floor reaugmentation without implant removal in a patient with an apically exposed implant into the maxillary sinus cavity.

Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT) is a rare condition that can mimic potentially more dangerous states such as malignant tumors. The tumor itself can also show a local malignancy as well as malignant transformation. The paranasal sinus IMT is quite a rare case in the literature. The manifestation of the disease can include a face swelling, nasal obstruction, epistaxis, vision acuity worsening, numbness of face, pain. Etiology of this type of lesion still remains uncertain but there are a few assumptions on the issue: viral and genetic among the others, as well as posttraumatic and postinflammatory. We report the case of an adult woman with IMT detected in right maxillary sinus after endoscopic sinus surgery.

Maxillary sinus ostium may be located anywhere along the ethmoid infundibulum (middle meatus).  In rhinosinusal pathology we may find an accessory ostium of the maxillary sinus due to chronic inflam­mations or after previous endoscopic sinus surgery. Existence of the accessory ostium leads to a recirculation mechanism of sinus secretions and a very difficult to treat rhinosinusal simptomatology. For every patient with this pathology we performed an endoscopic exam of the nose and a rhinosinusal CT scan. Treatment is strictly surgical by creating a unique ostium (consisting of both primary and accessory ostium). Endoscopic anatomy of the ostiomeatal unit should be well understood by the surgeon in order to perform a correct endoscopic sinus surgery, obtaining a proper sinus ventilation and avoiding complications. The presence of an accessory maxillary sinus ostium has only an endoscopic surgical treatment for ensuring sinus drainage and increasing the quality  of life of our patients. Keywords:

Previous treatment methods for maxillary sinus carcinoma generally consisted of dissection of maxilla, full dose irradiation, and/or extensive chemotherapy. However, results of such treatment were often poor. Even if patients recover, quality of life (QOL) is significantly reduced as a result of loss of facial structures and functional disability. A retrospective analysis of 42 patients with maxillary sinus carcinoma between 1975 and 1991 was undertaken. All patients underwent pergingival maxillary sinus surgery combined with a standardized total course of pre and postoperative irradiation of 1,600 cGy, together with regional intra-arterial infusion chemotherapy. During the surgery, all visible tumor tissue was removed, and the surrounding tissues were left when possible to facilitate cellular immunity after the surgery. The 5-year survival rate statistically obtained was 100% in Stage II, 100% in Stage III, and 62% in Stage IV patients.

AbstractBackground:Intranasal medication is commonly used for nasal disease. However, there are no clear specifications for intranasal medication delivery after functional endoscopic sinus surgery.Methods:A three-dimensional model of the nasal cavity was constructed from computed tomography scans of an adult Chinese male who had previously undergone functional endoscopic sinus surgery in the right nasal cavity. Computational fluid dynamic simulations modelled airflow and particle deposition, based on discrete phase models.Results:In the right nasal cavity, more particles passed through the upper dorsal region, around the surgical area, and streamed into the right maxillary sinus region. In the left cavity, particles were distributed more regularly and uniformly in the ventral region around the inferior turbinate. A lower inspiratory airflow rate and smaller initial particle velocity assisted particle deposition within the right maxillary sinus cavity. In the right nasal cavity, the optimal particle diameter was approximately 10−5 m for maxillary sinus cavity deposition and 3 × 10−6 m for bottom region deposition. In the right nasal cavity, altered back head tilt angles enhanced particle deposition in the top region of the surgical area, and altered right side head tilt angles helped enhance maxillary sinus cavity deposition.Conclusion:This model indicates that a moderate inspiratory airflow rate and a particle diameter of approximately 10−5 m should improve intranasal medication deposition into the maxillary sinus cavity following functional endoscopic sinus surgery.

Malpositioned implants always result in significant mechanical and aesthetic restorative challenges. This case report describes the correction of position of an unserviceable osseointegrated implant also protruding into the maxillary sinus cavity. This surgical technique facilitated the relocation of an implant-bony segment into a more favorable aesthetic and biomechanical position in a single stage surgery.

Abstract BACKGROUND. Signal void, or the absence of signal on MRI sequences, in the sinonasal region may be encountered in fungal rhinosinusitis cases with the aspect of a pseudo-pneumatized sinus, leading to diagnostic errors. CASE REPORT. We present the case of a 75-year-old woman referred to our clinic for complete and persistent right-sided nasal obstruction. The patient was evaluated using sinus CT and contrast-enhanced head MRI. Opacification of the right maxillary, ethmoid and frontal sinuses as well as of the right nasal fossa were seen on CT, with maxillary sinus expansion and osseous erosion. The MRI showed T2 signal void in the maxillary sinus with extension to the nasal fossa, creating the appearance of a pseudo-pneumatized sinus, and hyperintense signal in the ipsilateral anterior ethmoid and frontal sinuses. The patient underwent endoscopic sinus surgery. The dual imaging evaluation of the patient aided the preoperative differential diagnosis and choosing the surgical approach.
