Q

Sinusitis? most susceptible?

A
  • infection and inflammation of paranasal sinuses
  • can be detected through transillumination of sinuses
  • can spread to surrounding structures: eye, optic n, (optic neuritis), teeth, brain/meninges
  • infections of maxillary teeth can spread to maxillary air sinus
  • **maxillary sinus is most susceptible to infection due to drainage upwards. the ostia of maxillary sinuses are located in upper wall of sinus.

17
Q

floor of nasal cavity?

A

floor:

- palatine and maxilla (seperates nasal cavity, forms the hard palate)

18
Q

anterior wall of nasal cavity?

A

nasal cartilages, nasal bone
- nares are ant. openings of nasal cavity; lead to skin lined vestibule which contains vibrissae, hair cells which filter incoming air

19
Q

posterior boundary of nasal cavity?

A

open to nasopharnynx via choanae

20
Q

medial wall of nasal septum?

A
  • perpendibular plate of ethmoid bone (superior)
  • vomer bone (posterior)
  • nasal cartilages

note: a deviated septum can sometimes be so severe that it affects breathing and has to be corrected surgically.

21
Q

nasal mucosa: 2 types?

A
  • respiratory epithelium lines bulk of nasal cavity; rich in blood vessels and mucous glands to warm air as it passes through the cavity
  • olfactory epithelium lines superior-posterior portion of cavity; contains CN I
22
Q

Rhinitis

A

inflammation of nasal mucosa

  • infection can spread to:
  • anterior cranial fossa via cribiform plate
  • nasopharynx
  • middle ear via pharyngotympanic tube
  • lacrimal apparatus and conjunctiva via nasolacrimal duct
  • paranasal sinuses
23
Q

sphenoethmoidal recess

A
  • area posterior/superior to superior concha

- contains opening for sphenoidal sinus

24
Q

superior nasal meatus

A
  • beneath superior concha

- contains opening for posterior ethmoidal sinus

25
Q

middle nasal meatus

A
  • beneath middle concha
  • contains bulla ethmoidalis (where middle ethmoidal air cells drain)
  • contains semiluanar hiatus (where anterior ethmoidal air cells, frontal sinus and maxillary sinus drain to)
26
Q

inferior nasal meatus

A
  • lies beneath inferior concha

- contains opening for nasolacrimal duct

27
Q

what does internal carotid artery supply?

A
  • anterior and posterior ethmoidal aa (branches from opthalmic)
  • these provide septal and lateral nasal branches to the ethmoid sinuses and external nose.
28
Q

what does external carotid artery supply?

A

Maxillary artery gives off:

  1. sphenopalatine artery ***(enters nasal cavity via sphenopalatine foramen, gives lateral nasal and septal branches)
  2. greater palatine artery (enters nasal cavity via incisive canal, provides nasal septal branches).

Facial artery:
3. superior labial artery, provides septal branches

  • sphenopalatine is greatest supplier
29
Q

Kiesselbach area:

A

anastamoses between greater palatine, anterior ethmoidal, sphenopalatine a, facial aa.

located on anterior portion of nasal septum - can stop nose bleeds if compressed

30
Q

venous drainage of nasal cavity?

A

submucosal venous plexus drains to maxillary, facial and opthalmic vv. –> pterygoid plexus and cavernous sinus to reach internal jugular v.

31
Q

SVA innervation to nose?

A

Olfactory nerve - CN I

  • bipolar neurons composing CN I are located in superior portion of the nasal cavity epithelium, fiber processes of CN I pass through cribiform plate to synapse in the olfactory bulb of the brain
  • olfactory bulb is an extension of the forebrain (telencephalon); thus CN I synapses directly within the forebrain
32
Q

what GSA innervation is provided to nasal area?

A

V1 - opthalmic n - provides anterior nasal cavity,frontal sinus and ethmoid sinus

V2- Maxillary n - provides nasal cavity, maxillary sinus, and sphenoid sinus

33
Q

how does opthalmic n. enter nasal area? branches?

A
  • opthalmic branch of CN V enters orbit via superior orbital fissure
    1. supraorbital and supratrochlear n: frontal sinus
    2. posterior ethmoidal/anterior n: ehtmoid sinus and anterior nasal cavity
34
Q

how does maxillary n. enter?

A

the maxillary branch of CN V enters pterygopalatine fossa via foramen rotundum

Branches:

  • infraortibal, posterior superior alveolar nn.
  • nasopalatine n
  • posterior superior/inferior lateral nasal nn.
  • pharyngeal n.
35
Q

what nerve supplies GSA to maxillary sinus and external nose?

A

infraorbital and posterior superior alveolar nn - V2

36
Q

GSA to nasal septum

A

V2- nasopalatine n.

37
Q

GSA to lateral nasal wall?

A

V2- posterior superior/inferior lateral nasal nn.

38
Q

GSA to sphenoid sinus

A

phrayngeal n. - V2

39
Q

PS innervation to nasal cavities/paranasal sinuses?

A
  • same pathway as lacrimal gland
  • pre cell bodies: salivatory nucleus
  • pre fibers: travel with cial n. (facial n. provides greater petrosal branch which exits temporal bone via hiatus for greater petrosal n., in middle cranial fossa it joins the deep petrosal n. to form the n. of the pterygoid canal, which travel in pterygoid canal to pterygopalatine fossa)
  • post cell bodies: pterygopalatine ganglion
  • post fibers: travel with branches of V2 to distribute to nasal cavities
40
Q

sympathetic innervation to nasal cavities?

A
  • pre cell bodies: T1-4
  • post cell bodies: SCG
  • post fibers: form internal carotid n –> deep petrosal n.
  • deep and greater petrosal n. form nerve of the pterygoid canal.
  • post fibers travel with branches of V2 to distribute to the nasal cavities and paranasal sinuses
41
Q

lymphatic drainage of nasal cavities?

A

anterior portions drain along face to submandibular nodes

posterior portion drains along pharynx to retropharyngeal nodes
