Neurologist, Surgical,  's  Response
Hi, I had gone through your question and understand your concerns. Thickening of mucosa of sinuses means there is a inflamation( sinusitis). About hippocampal sclerosis it means there is neural cell loss and gliosis in the hippocampus. There are two conditions related with hippocampal sclerosis: Dementia ( Alzheimer's) and temporal lobe epilepsy. So I suggest you to consult a Neurologist to discuss MRI findings and any concerns you have. Sinusitis could be treated by your primary care Doctor, if it is in a active state. Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions.
