What Is My CT Scan Report Suggestive Of?

I have had allergies and progressive sinus problems for several months. One bout of antibiotics effectively relieved mucous discharge from my nose but continual post nasal drip continues. I have constant nausea at times significant and debilitating. I am currently undergoing another round of antibiotics with no significant improvement. I recently had a CT Scan: non-contrast MDCT of the paranasal sinuses with multiplanar reformats. There is a minor mucosal thickening at the floors of the maxillary sinuses, and opacification of the multiple ethmoidal air cells. Much less pronounced mucosal thickening is seen at the frontal and sphenoid sinuses. These changes are likely infective inflammatory in nature. Nos osseous destruction, periosteitis, or air fluid level can be seen. There is mild nasal septal deviation to the left. There is opacification of the ostiomeatal compleses by soft tissue/fluid densit at the time of the examination. The sphenoid sinus is septated. The right anterior clinoid process is pnewmatised The temporomandibular joints are enlocated. The visualised portions of the mastoid air cells and middle ear cavities appear clear. The conclusion was sinonasal mucosal disease, as detailed above, most severe at the ethmoid air cells, likely infective/imflammatory. No osseous destruction, periosteitis, or air fluid level is seen. What does this mean and is there a reasonable chance for an effective remedy?

Hi,

You should go for steam inhalation twice a day to clean your sinuses. Take lukewarm water regularly. Increase resistance with Vitamin C. Take anti allergic like cetrizine. Do warm saline gargles.Nothing to worry and no surgical intervention should be done. Repeated course of antibiotics should be avoided.

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Prakash Gupta, Radiologist
