What Does this CT Scan Result Mean?
Hellow Dr.Today i had my report after a CT Scan for paranosal sinuses after a history of Rhinosinutis.
The report revealed as follow:-
1.DNS is seen towards left side with edematous nasal mucosa and hypertrophied middle and inferior turbinates.
2.Polypoidal mucosal thickening of both maxillary sinuses seen.Minimal mucosal thickening of ethmoidal sinuses seen.
3.Block at both osteomeatal unit.
4.All other paranasal sinuses normally developed with smooth wall contours.Both spheno ethmoid recesses are normal.
5.Both frontal sinuses are well developed,no mucosal thickening.
6.The sphenoid sinus is normally developed.structure.There are no fluid collections or mucosal swelling.
7.No bone destruction
8.The nosal cavity,pharynx and imaged parapharyngeal structures show no abnormalities.
Question:
1.what is the meaning of this findings or interpretation of this CT scan Data.
2.Is there a problem?
3.If there is a problem what is the solution for the problem?

Welcome to Health care magic.
1.The nasal septum seen deviated to left side with oedematous nasal mucosa, the middle and inferior turbinates hypertrophied ( anatomical structures in nasal cavity - they are increased in size and causing difficulty in air passage).
2.There is a polyp kind of growth / thickening seen in the maxillary sinus both sides and minimum ethmoidal mucosal thickening. Rest all findings appears normal.
3.In this case initially a course of antibiotic treatment is given and followup if things goes better well and good.
4.Other wise a FESS - functional endoscopic sinus surgery is indicated - where an scope with a camera sent inside and needful intervention done with a sample for pathological evaluation ( in case of polyp / growth).
5.After treatment through surfer a followup for at least one year and then if symptomatic. Good luck.
6.The problem is infective / inflammatory reaction or a growth. Maxillary and ethmoidal sinusitis.
Hope it helps you. Wish you a good health.
Anything to ask ? do not hesitate. Thank you.
