Q

In unilateral polyp why does the pt presented with facial pain and thick nasal discharge?

A

your sinuses have drainage going into the nasal cavity. if there is a blockage there will be a secondary bacterial infection causing sinusitis.

Q

are hollow chambers that have foramina for draining into the nose. • They make the skull lighter
• Add resonance to the laryngeal voice • Act as shock absorbers to redistribute the forces of blunt trauma away from the orbit and so protect the eye.

Q

Drainage maxillary sinus?

A

Drainage: ethmoid infundibulum (middle meatus, 10-30% have accessory ostium)

21
Q

Vasculature of maxillary sinus?

A

• Vasculature: maxillary and facial artery, maxillary vein

22
Q

Innervation of maxillary sinus?

A

infraorbital nn (V2)

23
Q

Plain film for maxillary sinus?

A

• Plain Film: Water’s view

24
Q

What is waters view?

A

View is taken in such a way that the chin of the patient touch the film while Xray beam is projected from behind

25
Q

your nose and chin are on the plate. The importance of this is in this position the petrous portion of your temporal bone is projected below the maxillary sinus and you would be able to see your maxillary sinus. what view?

A

water’s view

26
Q

Sphenoid and posterior ethmoid drains into the

A

Superior Meatus. The rest is in the Middle Meatus.

27
Q

• Embryology: 3-4 cells at birth (most developed paranasal sinus at birth)

A

Ethmoid sinus

28
Q

Volume of ethmoid sinus?

A

Volume at Adult: 10-15 aerated cells, total volume of 2-3 ml (adult size at 12-15 years old)

29
Q

drainage of ethmoid sinus?

A

Drainage: anterior cells drain into the ethmoid infundibulum, posterior cells drain into the spheno-ethmoid recess (superior meatus)

30
Q

vasculature of ethmoid sinus?

A

• Vasculature: anterior and posterior ethmoid arteries (from ophthalmic artery), maxillary and ethmoid veins (cavernous sinus)

31
Q

innervation of ethmoid sinus?

A

• Innervation: anterior and posterior ethmoidal nerves (from nasociliary nerve, V1)

32
Q

Plain view for ethmoid sinus?

A

lateral and caldwell view

33
Q

• Embryology: evagination of nasal mucosa into sphenoid bone • Volume at Adult: 0.5-8 ml (adult size at 12-18 years old)

A

sphenoid sinus

34
Q

drainage of sphenoid sinus?

A

• Drainage: spheno-ethmoid recess in the superior meatus

35
Q

vasculature of sphenoid sinus?

A

• Vasculature: sphenopalatine artery (from maxillary artery), maxillary vein (pterygoid plexus)

36
Q

innervation of sphenopalatine sinus?

A

• Innervation: sphenopalatine nerve

37
Q

plain film for sphenoid sinus?

A

• Plain Film: lateral and submentovertex (basal)

38
Q

QUIZ: What is the paranasal sinus that is not present at birth?

A

frontal sinus

39
Q

the nasal skeleton is consisted of?

A

• The external nasal skeleton consists of bone in the upper third (the nasal bones) and cartilage in the lower two-thirds.

40
Q

most commonly fracutre bone of the face?

A

nasal bone

41
Q

Common manifestation of nasal bone fracture is

A

swelling or inflammation and epistaxis

42
Q

The nasal cavities are partitioned in the midline by the

A

nasal septum

43
Q

The cartilage of the septum is dependent on what for its nutritional support

A

on the overlying adherent perichondrium

44
Q

Separation of this layer (septal cartilage and perichondrium) by hematoma or abscess may result in?

A

in cartilage necrosis and a saddle nose cosmetic deformity

45
Q

• The main artery of the nasal cavity is the

A

sphenopalatine branch of the maxillary artery

46
Q

sphenopalatine branch of the maxillary artery anastomoses wiht?

A
  • Palatine artery - Ethmoidal arteries - anterior and posterior - Labial artery
47
Q

The lateral wall is thrown into folds by three bony projections:

A

the inferior, middle and superior turbinates

48
Q

assymetrical vs symmetrical congestive response types?

A
  1. Asymmetrical Congestive Response (The Nasal Cycle): - Normal physiological congestion/decongestion cycle alternating between nasal sides every 2-7 hours
  2. Symmetrical Congestive Response: - Temporary bilateral congestion induced by exercise, changes in body position, hyperventilation, cold air, sulfur, histamine, and other irritants; lasts 15-30 minutes
