Hello!
The CT report indicates that the big sinus on the right side and small ethmoid sinuses on both side show some signs of inflammation - maybe a response to infection or allergy. Also the narrowing of the opening may be related to the same. As regards the deviated nasal septum, almost everyone has some amount of nasal deviation, hence we can ignore that for now. From the CT reports, I would say it seems like the patient has either acute or chronic sinusitis, possibly allergic. However, I would like to know the reason why CT scan was done in the first place? What were the symptoms of the patient?
