Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Welcome and thanks for your query.
The maxillary sinus is the airspace in the maxilla next to the nose. There's a connection between the nose and the maxillary sinus. So if there is a nose bleed, blood can seep into the space and this appears as opacification of the sinus in the X-ray.
