Suggest Treatment For Craniosynostosis And Nevoid Basal Cell Carcinoma
14-yr-old with extensive med hx, including sagittal craniosynostosis and Nevoid Basal Cell Carcinoma Syndrome which has produced multiple lower mandible tumors, has recent MRI findings of bilateral ethmoid and maxillary sinus mucosal thickening, (most pronounced on right side), and trace bilateral mastoid air cell fluid signal noted. What does this mean and could it have anything to do with med hx noted above?

Thanks for your query. I have gone through your query.
The nevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome is usually associated with multiple odontogenic keratocystic tumors. So these can be managed surgically by a oral maxillofacial surgeon.
The mucosal thickening on MRI can be because of the sinus infection. Nothing to be panic, consult an ENT surgeon and get it evaluated. I hope i have answered your query. Take care.
