PATHOLOGICAL CONSIDERATIONS

An inflammatory process involving mucous membranes of the nasopharynx and paranasal sinuses. Chronic sinusitis is often associated with an allergic individual, and dental infections account for 25% of chronic maxillary sinusitis. Swimming and diving, and injury to the area (especially fractures to the ethmoid or frontal sinuses) are other precipitating factors. With chronic sinusitis that seems to go away after antibiotics then returns, consider candidiasis (Easley) or focal infection (Matsumoto).

PHYSIOLOGICAL CONSIDERATIONS

The most common inciting agent of sinusitis is a viral URI, although bacteria, fungi, and allergic reactions may also be responsible. Any factor that creates edema of the nasal tissues resulting in obstruction and the lack of proper drainage of the area will often lead to sinus infection. As the obstruction continues, oxygen is reabsorbed back into the blood vessels, causing a painful relative negative pressure that draws transudate from the mucous membranes. The transudate is an excellent medium for bacteria, especially streptococcus, pneumococcus, hemophilus influenza, and staphylococcus, which are the bacterias most implicated in acute sinusitis. The bacterial overgrowth leads to an influx of serum and leukocytes to fight the infection, setting up a painful positive pressure. Yeast infections have been known to cause this problem. Removal of existing predisposing causes and strict attention to the establishment of a highly nutritious dietary regime with emphasis on adequate vitamin A intake on a permanent basis is basic. Vitamin A plays a most important role in preventing or clearing up infections of the mucous membranes which line all of the body cavities and along with vitamin c is absolutely necessary for the production of the white blood cells and other antibodies which make up the body's defense against disease.
