Some features of rhinogenic and odontogenic sinusitis

Abstract

Analysis of our observations of 37 patients with various forms of sinusitis and 76 case histories for 2 years made it possible to identify a number of features in the clinic and the course of sinusitis. Patients with a rhinogenic form of the disease (65 people) more often complained of headache (43), nasal breathing difficulties (27), nasal discharge (43). The inflammatory process was often bilateral (37), and the sinus disease was preceded by respiratory infections (influenza, acute respiratory infections). Rhinoscopy revealed a curvature of the nasal septum, polyps in the nose, hypertrophy of the turbinates. Conservative treatment gave good results.
