Can anyone interpret me the result from paranasal sinus CT scan?

---

I had CT scan of my paranasal sinus & waiting to see my doctor to report the findings. The impression on the result is:

Pansinusitis with obstructed left frontal and right sphenoid outflow tracts
Leftward nasal septal deviation with a bony spur
Congested nasal turbinates, bilateral

Is this something serious or not to worry about?
I'm having headaches, congestion & slight fever that disrupt my work. and i find it hard to sleep in the evening.
Nothing serious, no. Im going to assume you have a lot of stuffiness and headaches though right? And im sure no sinus medicines work, or if they do they don't work for very long. So most likely the doctor will suggest that you have sinus surgery to "clean" everything out and fix your septal deviation.  (+ info)

Is there any specific treatment fo heart diseases relating to sinus bradycardia? Can Ayurveda be relied as a s?

---

Are the medicines prescribed by Ayurvedic cardiologists safe and curative?
the specific treatment would be to place a pacemaker. This will give the heart a little shock, when the heart rate gets below 60, which will cause the heart to beat. The heart rate would not go below 60. A defibrillator would not be helpful in this. It gives the heart a large shock when the heart is beating too fast.
To place a pacemaker, a 4 inch incision is made usually on the left upper chest. There, they place a metal box a little bigger than a zippo lighter. They will also be attatching wires to the heart that the electrical current will travel. In most cases, this is an over night hospital stay.
I'm not quite sure what the second part of your question is asking.

Paranasal Sinus Disease?

---

Hubby went in for his annual CT scans (follow up after malignant melanoma removal 6 yrs ago) last week. Today we recieved the results, which were all-in-all good. The only "remarkable" thing was "Fairly extensive paranasal disease noted. What exactly is paranasal sinus disease? Under "IMPRESSION:" on the CT report, clinical correlation is recommended. Does this mean I need to get him into an ENT to check this out? Is this anything to be concerned about?

Thanks!
I don't know. A pessimist would think it meant that the melanoma was extensively in his sinuses. Maybe in fact he has a sinus infection. Ask the oncologist!  (+ info)

Why is mastoiditis potentially more dangerous than a paranasal sinus infection?

---

help
:]
The mastoid bone is very porous, and it may be near-impossible to dislodge an infection. And since it's part of the skull, it's very near the brain.  (+ info)

What does Left Maxillary Sinus Polypoid Disease mean?

---

I just got back a CT scan that say's:

There is a 2 cm rounded polypoid structure along the floor of the left maxillary sinus. This is nonspecific but could represent a mucous retention cyst versus polyp. A few of the ethmoid air cells are opacified. Otherwise the paranasal sinus regions are unremarkable. The calvarium is intact.

Anyone able to shed a little light on this for me? I promise to choose the most helpful answer quickly.
The link below will shed some light for you.  (+ info)

What can be done about frontal sinus hypoplasia?

---

I have significant paranasal sinusitis and frontal sinus hypoplasia. What can be done, I tried searching the web only to find that hypoplasia means that the frontal sinuses are underdeveloped. I can't get an appointment with an E.N.T. doctor because of insurance, could anyone please tell me what they would do if I could go.
Whether it's acute or chronic (lasting more than 8-12 weeks) sinusitis, treatment should be aimed at sinus drainage and curing any infection. Nasal sprays, such as phenylephrine, can be used for a limited time to constrict the blood vessels; similar drugs taken by mouth are less effective. Some antibiotics can be taken, but since you can't go to the doctor, then you can't do that one. Nasal corticosteroid sprays and corticosteroid tablets can also be taken to help reduce inflammation in the mucous membranes.  (+ info)

Some people with a deficit of IA exhibit recurrent paranasal sinus and respiratory tract infections. Explain?

---

it is not "IA"
it is IgA
it is not "IA"
it is IgA
it is not "IA"
it is IgA
it is not "IA"
it is IgA
it is not "IA"
it is IgA
Immunoglobulin A (IgA) is an antibody playing a critical role in mucosal immunity. More IgA is produced in mucosal linings than all other types of antibody combined. In its secretory form, it is the main immunoglobulin found in mucous secretions, including tears, saliva, colostrum, intestinal juice, vaginal fluid and secretions from the prostate and respiratory epithelium. Because it is resistant to degradation by enzymes, secretory IgA can survive in harsh environments such as the digestive and respiratory tracts, to provide protection against microbes that multiply in body secretions.
Because the respiratory tract and sinus cavities are mucosal entities, the infections manifest here.  (+ info)

what is the relationship between sinus, gum diseases and gastric (ulcer)?

---

I heard fungus is the relation
or TMJ
candida/thrush..fungal parasites in the guns andsinuses are related to ulcers..increasing or usually decreasing stomache acid (a lot of acid reflux iscaused by NOT ENOUGH acid in stomache look it up)
when you rid yourself of fungus... your sinuses and gum disease can clear up....
TMJ causes all sorts of problems!!! all of those you listed, look that up too.
me Ihave both
TMJ and Fungus,..and a myriad of horrible results.
including... sinus, thrush, acid reflux, gerd and list is too long.
the teeth grinding, or clenching.... caused my sinuses to not drain properly and difficulty swallowing..... mouth breathing, due to nose clogged.. caused..tongue thrust.and a new overbite..its all related.  (+ info)
