  1. Nose and Paranasal Sinuses Rabia Shihada Department of Otolaryngology – Head and Neck Surgery Bnai-Zion Medical Center

  2. Anatomy: External nose • Bony: • Nasal process maxilla • Nasal bones • Cartilages: • Upper laterals • Lower laterals • Connective tissue • Skin

  3. Anatomy: Nasal cavities • Lateral wall: • Turbinates(S/M/I) • Meati(S/M/I) • Sinus Ostia: • (esp MM) • Nasolacrimal duct (inf)

  4. Anatomy of the Sinuses

  5. Anatomy: Nasal cavities • Floor: • =palate=roof of mouth • Roof: • =Ant. Cranial Fossa • Thin++ bone(Cribriform plate) • Dura & brain

  6. Nasal cavities: Microanatomy: • Mucosal lining: • Respiratory epithelium: • columnar • goblet cells • mucus blanket • cilia • Olfactory epithelium: • Small area near roof

  7. Vessels Involved • Anterior ethmoid • Posterior ethmoid • Greater palatine • Sphenopalatine • Superior labial Internal carotid External carotid

  8. Epistaxis • Little’s area • An aggregation of poorly supported superficial vessels • Frequently the source of epistaxis

  9. Epistaxis - Management

  10. Paranasal sinuses: Anatomy: • Frontal • Maxillary • Ethmoidal • Sphenoid • “Outbuddings” from nasalcavity: continuous lining

  11. Paranasal sinuses: Anatomy • Frontal • Close to: Brain, Eye • Thin walls esp: Brain, Eye • Maxillary • Ethmoidal • Sphenoid

  12. Normal Sinus • Sinus health depends on: • Mucous secretion of normal viscosity, volume, and composition • Normal mucociliary flow to prevent mucous stasis and subsequent infection • Open sinus ostia to allow adequate drainage and aeration.

  13. Development of Sinuses • Maxillary and ethmoid sinuses present at birth • Frontal sinus developed by age 5 or 6 • Sphenoid sinus last to develop, 8-10

  14. Physiologic Importance of Sinuses • Provide mucus to upper airways • Lubrication • Vehicle for trapping viruses, bacteria, foreign material for removal • Give characteristics to voice • Lessen skull weight • Involved with olfaction

  15. Symptoms Of Nasal Disease • Nasal obstruction • Nasal discharge • Pain • External deformities • Epistaxis

  16. External Deformities Of Nose • Developmental: • deviation, narrowing • Trauma: • sinking of nose bridge due to haematoma or septalabcess • Diseases: • Syphilis, wegener, tuberculosis, cancer

  17. Septal Deviation Of Nose • Origin: • developmental or traumatic • Symptoms: • nasal obstruction

  18. Septal Deviation Of Nose • Treatment: • surgical: SMR or septoplasty • Complications: • alterations in nasal contour • perforation of septum

  19. Nasal Polyps • Most common tumors of the nasal cavity • Associated with: • allergies • infection • trauma • metabolic disease • cystic fibrosis • asthma

  20. Nasal Polyps Cont. • Symptoms include: • nasal obstruction • rhinorrhea • anosmia

  21. Treatment Of Nasal Polyps • Surgical therapy: • polypectomy (with or without sinus surgery) • Medical therapy includes: • antibiotics • antihistamines • decongestants • desensitization • diet and steroids

  22. Rhinitis or Coryza • “Common cold” • Mild, self limiting syndrome • Symptoms include: • nasal drainage and obstruction • sneezing • postnasal drip • sore throat • Symptoms last for 7-13 days

  23. Rhinitis or CoryzaInfectious • Viral infection: • Rhinovirus 30-40% • Coronavirus 10% • Influenza >10% • Parainfluenza >5% • Adenovirus 5%

  24. Rhinitis or CoryzaNon-Infectious • Allergic rhinitis: • IgE-mediated response causing release of vasoactive substances from mast cells.

  25. Rhinitis or CoryzaNon-Infectious • Vasomotor rhinitis: • a nonspecific diagnosis of unexplained hypersensitivity.

  26. Rhinitis or CoryzaNon-Infectious • Hormonal rhinitis: • Seen in pregnancy, at puberty and with the use of oral contraceptives. • Etiology: • increased estrogen levels • inhibited acytelcholinesterase • increased parasympathetic tone

  27. Rhinitis or CoryzaNon-Infectious • Rhinitis medicamentosa • caused by excessive use of topical nasal decongestants.

  28. Sinusitis • 4 paranasal sinuses, each lined with pseudostratified ciliated columnar epithelium and goblet cells • Frontal • Maxillary • Ethmoid • Sphenoid Infectious or noninfectious inflammation of 1 or more sinuses

  29. Classification of Bacterial Sinusitis • Acute bacterial sinusitis- infection lasting 4 weeks, symptoms resolve completely (children 30 days) • Subacute bacterial sinusitis- infection lasting between 4 to 12 weeks, yet resolves completely (children 30-90 days) • Chronic sinusitis- symptoms lasting more than 12 weeks (children >90 days) • Some guidelines add treatment failure + a positive imaging study

  30. Road to Bacterial Sinus Infections • Obstruction of the various ostia • Impairment in ciliary function • Increased viscosity of secretions • Impaired immunity • Mucus accumulates • Decrease in oxygenation in the sinuses • Bacterial overgrowth

  31. Pathogenesis of Nasal Obstruction • Viral upper respiratory infections • Daycare centers • Allergic and nonallergic stimuli • Immunodeficiency disorders • Immunoglobulin deficiency (IgA, IgG) • Anatomic changes • Deviated septum, concha bullosa, polyps

  32. Acute Bacterial Sinusitis • Usually begins with viral upper respiratory illness • Symptoms initially improve, but then … • Symptoms become persistent or severe • Persistent… 10-14 days but fewer than 4 weeks • Severe…temperature of 102°, purulent nasal discharge for 3-4 days, child appears ill • Disease clears with appropriate medical treatment

  33. Bacteria Involved in Acute Bacterial Sinusitis 36 Streptococcus pneumoniae 30% Haemophilus influenza 20% Moraxella catarrhalis 20% Sterile 30%

  34. Physical Findings • Mucopurulent nasal discharge • Highest positive predictive value • Swelling of nasal mucosa • Mild erythema • Facial pain (unusual in children) • Periorbital swelling

  35. 39

  36. Treatment of Acute Sinusitis • Antihistamines recommended if allergy present • Oral or topical • Decongestants • Oral or topical • Antibiotic when indicated (bacteria) • Nasal irrigation • Hydration

  37. When Medical Therapy for Acute Bacterial Sinusitis Fails… • Assess for chronic causes • Identify allergic and nonallergic triggers • Allergy testing, nasal smears for eosinophilia • Consider other medical conditions associated with sinusitis • Rhinolaryngoscopy • Imaging studies Sinus x-rays CT scanning (limited, coronal views)

  38. Rhinoscopy Aids in Diagnosing • Nasal polyps • Septal deviation • Concha bullosa • Eustachian tube dysfunction • Causes of hoarseness • Adenoid hyperplasia • Tumors

  39. Rhinoscope

  40. CT Scan Maxillary and Ethmoid Sinuses

  41. MRI Imaging • Not used for imaging suspected acute sinusitis • Suspected fungal sinusitis • Suspected tumors

  42. Chronic Sinusitis • Symptoms present longer than 8 weeks or 4/year in adults or 12 weeks or 6 episodes/year in children • Eosinophilic inflammation or chronic infection • Associated with positive CT scans • Poor (if any) response to antibiotics

  43. Sx of Chronic Sinusitis • Nasal discharge • Nasal congestion • Headache • Facial pain or pressure • Olfactory disturbance • Fever and halitosis • Cough (worse when lying down)

  44. Evaluation of Chronic Sinusitis • CT or MRI scanning • Anatomic defects, tumors, fungi • Allergy testing • Inhalants, fungi, foods • Sinus aspiration for cultures • Bacterial • Fungal • Immunoglobulins

  45. 49

  46. Evaluation of Chronic Sinusitis 50
