Sinus Diseases

WHAT IS SINUSIT?

Sinuses; It is defined as the air gaps in the bones around the nose. There are five pairs of sinuses in man. These;

  • Cheek sinuses (maxillary sinuses),

  • Forehead sinuses (frontal sinuses),

  • Sinuses between the eyes (anterior and posterior ethmoid sinuses)

  • Sinuses in the nasal region (sphenoid sinuses)

In babies and children, the appearance of the sinuses in adults and their development by ventilation are greatly completed at the ages of 12-14. However, it takes 22-24 to get their final shape.

The sinuses are part of the system of the nose, which forms the normal secretion (mucus). Normally, the nose and sinuses secrete approximately half a liter of mucus per day. They sweep and wash dust particles, bacteria and other airborne particles, moving on the produced mucus nasal cover (mucosa). This mucus is then filtered back into the throat and swallowed. The particles and bacteria in it are broken down by stomach acid. Many people are not aware of this because it is a normal body function.

Sinusitis; This is a general definition of inflammation of the mucosa lining the sinuses located around the nose. Since there can be no situation where only the sinus mucosa is affected and the nasal mucosa is not affected, today the term “rhinosinusitis” is used instead of the term sinusitis. In general, sinusitis occurs when the mucus (snot) produced by the lining mucosa cannot be discharged into the nose. There are three main factors that cause this.

  • Obstruction of the nasal ducts (ostium) of the sinuses,

  • Disruption of the system (mucociliary activity) that actively carries the mucous to the ostium in the sinuses,

  • Change of mucus content or consistency.

  • In the presence of one or more of these factors, the growth of bacteria in the mucus accumulated in the sinuses causes sinusitis.

Sinusitis is generally classified as follows:

  • Acute sinusitis

  • Chronic sinusitis

  • Subacute sinusitis

  • Recurrent (recurrent) acute sinusitis

  • Acute exacerbation of chronic sinusitis

SYMPTOMS OF SYMPUS

Symptoms of sinusitis vary from person to person. Generally, people think that sinusitis occurs when the head or face hurts, whereas sinusitis makes little difference with pain. Pain rate in sinusitis is around 5 percent. Complaints that are more prominent in sinusitis are known as nasal congestion, deterioration in sound, feeling of fullness of the face and runny nose. In general, sinusitis symptoms can be defined as such;

  • Stubborn cough that occurs at night or in the morning,

  • Yellow-green colored viscous runny nose,

  • Feeling of pressure around the eyes,

  • Bad breath in breath, bad smell, nausea and / or vomiting,

  • Cold (flu / flu) lasting more than 10-14 days, sometimes mild fever,

  • Nasal congestion and snoring,

  • Sometimes burning in the throat with a nasal discharge,

  • Behavior changes,

  • Long-lasting headache

  • Causes of sinusitis

Although there are many different causes of sinusitis, the most common causes are as follows;

Viral upper respiratory tract infections (URTI): It is the most common cause of sinusitis. Edema and inflammation due to viral infection of the nasal mucosa and blockage of the sinus ejaculation channels, as well as the viscous formation of the mucus produced, which causes the formation of occlusions within the sinuses, and disruption in oxygenation. Following this stage, sinusitis occurs with secondary bacterial growth.
Mucosal edema that obstructs allergy-induced sinus ostium is the second important cause of sinusitis.

  • In-nose curves (septum deviation),

  • Polyps

  • Anatomical pathologies that narrow or block the sinus ejaculation channels, such as nasal enlargement (turbinate hypertrophies)

  • Enlarged adolescent meats, especially in children

Pressure changes that occur during swimming or plane travel lead to the closure of ostiums.

Sinusitis is more common than hypertension and rheumatism, but it impairs quality of life more than diabetes and heart disease. It has negative effects not only physically but also psychologically. Sinusitis; It prepares the ground for problems such as nasal congestion, pain in the forehead, fatigue and fatigue, sleep at night, sleep, snoring, as well as stomach, intestinal and lung problems. Therefore, the factors that cause sinusitis and sinusitis must be treated.

WHY DOES WET HAIR SINUSITIS?

Whether going out with wet hair or not drying hair after a shower will cause sinusitis is one of the most frequently asked issues among the public. When people with allergies or polyps in their nose or those with allergy-induced nasal gums go out with wet hair, the risk of developing sinusitis increases because the person's nasal mucosa swells allergic during the hot-cold exchange and the sinuses' holes are easily closed. This information does not mean that the person will have his hair cut and eliminate this risk with short hair. This is a problem with the hot-cold exchange, and it can be seen in anyone, but it is more common if there is a predisposition or disease in the nose that can facilitate this.

  • Sinusitis headache

  • One of the most important causes of headache among the people is known as sinusitis. Sinusitis is quite severe and can cause pain that affects the quality of life. The causes of headaches originating from sinuses, which are air-filled cavities around the nose, are briefly;

  • Mucosal contact surfaces and hitting pain

  • Oxygen-freeness or negative pressure due to lack of ventilation

  • Inflammatory tissues (polyp) can be listed as the result of the pressure on the surrounding tissues.

It is natural for more than one sinus to be sick in many sinus diseases. The resulting complaints will be a whole formed by one and more sinuses. In addition, the reflected pain phenomenon gets involved.

Pain in the cheeks of the cheek region proceeds from the sinus area to the upper teeth. The pain is sometimes heard in the cheekbone, nasal and forehead area. Pain in chronic sinusitis is a less common symptom, unlike the general opinion. Pain in malignant tumors of the cheek sinus can only be a complaint in the advanced circuit. Cysts of the cheek sinuses are also the cause of pain. When cysts grow and cover the inside of the sinus, they are especially the cause of pain with the pressure they put on the sinus mouths. The pain is usually severe and extends from the cheek area to the forehead. There is an increase in tear secretion and nasal congestion.

In acute infections of the nasal root sinuses, there is pain on the same side nasal root and behind the eyes. It is rarely found alone. Generally cheek and forehead sinusitis is present in the form of pansinusitis. Benign tumors called osteoma are also known for their pain from the beginning.

In forehead pain, sinusitis of the forehead is often blamed. However, it is easy to empty because of the anatomical feature of the forehead sinus mouth, it provides not much pain in forehead sinusitis.

Although there is minimal discussion among the nasal sinuses in terms of their features, the base floor sinuses are still unspoken about in terms of clinical findings. Many complaints and diseases still take refuge in the responsibility of skull base sinusitis. Acute infection may include headache behind the head, forehead and bilateral temple pain, pain radiating to the shoulder, teeth, palate and nose, neck stiffness, nasal pain, forgetfulness and absent-mindedness.

The air in the sinus is theoretically at the same atmospheric pressure as the air outside, and the balancing of pressure is associated with the normal permeability of the sinus mouths. Disruption of this relationship causes the formation of excessive or deficient air pressure in the sinus compared to the external environment. The practical consequence of this is the emergence of a pain. A formation called "vacuum sinusitis" and "vacuum headache", which is accompanied by a decrease in air pressure, especially in the sinus, is mentioned. This situation; ya sinus mouth anyway

ADVANTAGES OF BALLOON SINUSOPLASTY

Balloon Sinusoplasty is important in that it does not cause bloody surgery, a scar due to surgery at the end of the procedure, and a closure associated with it. At the same time, it is a very reliable method in terms of preventing complications of eye, brain and vascular structures that may arise in the surgical procedure. The patient can easily get rid of this problem with the treatment of sinusitis with a balloon applied only in 20 minutes. The patient's hospital stay and recovery process is extremely shortened. He can be discharged on the same day and return to his normal life the next day. There is no pain problem after the operation. Although it is applied in all kinds of sinusitis cases, it gives very successful results in correctly selected cases. The method can be considered a breakthrough in sinusitis operations, a fearful dream for sinusitis patients. Balloon sinusitis treatment is not applied to patients with sinusitis along with meat growth, those with small sinuses obstructed, and to people under 17 years of age.

SINUSIT TREATMENT IN CHILDREN

Conditions requiring surgery for sinuses in pediatric sinusitis are cases that are resistant to drug therapy. Surgery is an important option in the treatment of inflammation around the eyes caused by sinusitis. In children with adenoid or chronic tonsillitis with chronic sinusitis, removing adenoid and, when necessary, tonsils is not a method to treat chronic sinusitis alone, an auxiliary treatment should also be applied. Preferred endoscopic sinus surgery in chronic sinusitis that does not heal despite adenoid and tonsil surgeries performed when necessary with the medication given at the appropriate time. The most important goal in this surgery should be to open the sinus mouths and clean the inside of the sinuses. If the most important treatment option suitable for the child is surgery, this should be done without wasting time.

WAYS FOR PROTECTION FROM SINUSITIS

It is very important to know how to prevent the occurrence of sinusitis, a disease that can be repeated even if it is treated. It is recommended to follow these recommendations to prevent sinusitis;

Influenza infection must be treated under the control of a doctor.

 

The nose should always be kept open during the infection. For this, it is useful to use ocean waters or to swim in terms of emptying the sinuses. At home, a teaspoon of salt and a half teaspoon of baking soda can be mixed into the water glass and the inside of the nose can be washed. These will prevent the sinuses from filling in flu infections. To keep the nose open, menthol, eucalyptus vapor can also be made.

 

Care should be taken not to go outside with wet hair.

 

It should not be exposed to direct wind.

 

Allergy treatment should not be neglected.

 

Nasal bone curvatures, size and swelling of nasal meats should be treated by treatment.

KNOWN WRONGS IN SINUSITIS DISEASE!

Some methods, which are thought to be good for sinusitis, can have some vital consequences. Some natural treatments and herbal treatments that are thought to be good for sinusitis can be very risky. Plants that are thought to be good for sinusitis should not be squeezed into the nose. Otherwise, if the plant used flows from the back of the nose to the lower respiratory tract, it may cause a laryngeal edema, causing the patient to die.

The nose should not be swept fast, the infection in the nose may go to the ear in very severe blows. This can result in otitis media.
