Background: Acute rhinosinusitis (ARS) is a common and well-defined disorder, primarily of viral aetiology, with rhinovirus and coronavirus accounting for more than 50% of viral ARS. The fight with COVID-19 pandemic resulted in an increased availability viral testing, which in turn allowed testing for presence of SARS-Cov-2 in all patients present...

Aim: Development of an effective method of rinsing the nasal cavities and paranasal sinuses using the Zatoxin Rinse kit. Material and methods: In order to develop recommendations for rinsing the nasal cavities, a cadaver head specimen from Poznań Lab was used. The nasal cavities were rinsed with a methylene blue solution - 0.8 ml of 10% methylene b...

Tuberculous otitis media is not a common disease, especially in developed countries. Its low incidence and manifestation mimicking other diseases often results with delayed diagnosis and wrong treatment. A 29-year-old women presented to ENT department with history of bilateral acute otitis media not responding to regular treatment. Multiple tympani...

Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate oral cavity morphology in children at risk of sleep disordered breathing (SDB). Methods: The study included children 3-17 years of age. The risk of SDB was evaluated using the paediatric sleep questionnaire (PSQ); afterwards, children at risk of SDB were enrolled in the study group. A control group...

Aim: The aim of this study was to assess the effect of nasal irrigation with isotonic sodium chloride and sodium bicarbonate solution in the form of Zatoxin Rinse kit on the process of postopera-tive wound healing and resolution of inflammation in patients who undergo surgery of the nasal cavity or paranasal sinuses. Moreover, our study also compar...

Introduction: Surgical orbital decompression involves removal of one or more orbital bony walls in order to gain space for overgrown muscles and adipose tissue, which results in a reduction in pressure on the eye. This observational study aims to perform an endocrinological assessment of the surgical treatment outcomes of thyroid eye disease (TED)...

Introduction: Granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA) as an autoimmune disease leads to necrotizing changes in the affected tissues. Computed tomography (CT) of paranasal sinuses reveals multiple changes in GPA: sinus opacification, bone/cartilaginous destruction and neoosteogenesis. Objectives: To describe and compare CT changes in GPA with chro...
Article
Background Recent studies have shown that a short lingual frenulum is a potential risk factor for obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) in children. A short frenulum leads to abnormal orofacial development and may consequently contribute to sleep-disordered breathing by narrowing the upper airways and increasing the risk of upper-airway collapsib...

‘Sinus headache and/or facial pain’ (SH) is a common complaint encountered by otorhinolaryngologists, neurologists and general practitioners. However, several studies suggested that the majority of those cases may be attributed to primary headaches (i.e., migraine and tension-type headache (TTH). The purpose of this review is to evaluate the etiolo...

The European Position Paper on Rhinosinusitis and Nasal Polyps 2020 is the update of similar evidence based position papers published in 2005 and 2007 and 2012. The core objective of the EPOS2020 guideline is to provide revised, up-to-date and clear evidence-based recommendations and integrated care pathways in ARS and CRS. EPOS2020 provides an upd...

Study objectives The purpose of this work is to present available questionnaires enabling diagnostic screening when obstructive sleep disordered breathing (SDB) in a child is suspected or its effects are observed and polysomnography is unavailable. These questionnaires are designed to facilitate further diagnostic process or even therapeutic decisi...

Patients with unilateral watery nasal discharge and a history of head trauma should be suspected of CSF rhinorrhea. Proper diagnosis will avoid meningitis and other intracranial and life-threatening complications. The post-traumatic CSF leak that occurs 24 hours after an injury is the most common form of this pathology and represents up to 90% of a...

Sternberg's canal is a congenital bony defect in the lateral wall of the sphenoid sinus. If it persists to adulthood, it may become a source of spontaneous cerebrospinal fluid leak (CSF) and meningoencephalocele. The aim of the study was to describe the authors' experience and review articles related to spontaneous sphenoid sinus CSF leaks and Ster...

... Orbital decompression is an important surgical method for the treatment of exophthalmos in TAO patients, which is through destroying the orbit wall and increasing the orbital space to achieve proptosis reduction. [20] DON is the most common cause of visual loss in TAO. ...
... Signs originating from vascular inflammation, i.e., pulmonary infiltrates, nasal crusting, and renal vasculitis, are usually successfully treated by immunosuppressive treatments, while symptoms that originated from locoregional masses were described as highly resistant to treatment [3]. ENT involvement, including the temporal bone, is associated with a good prognosis, although has a high relapse rate [20,23,24]. In our article, we propose to add another risk factor of poor prognosis, which is skull base involvement. ...
... Das erste Outcome ist, ob das Stillen in den nächsten Monaten erhalten werden kann. Weitere sind Zahnhygiene und -gesundheit, altersgemäßes Essverhalten, Aussprache, habituelle Mundatmung, Atemschwierigkeiten im Schlaf [14] und Zahnstellung im Lauf der nächsten Jahre. Langzeitauswirkungen zu verfolgen ist zeitintensiv und daher finanziell aufwändig. ...
... The patient with acute rhinosinusitis commonly presents with facial pain and/or headache, often accompanied by other symptoms, e.g., nasal congestion, purulent nasal drainage, and hyposmia or anosmia. Local pain in the sinus area is frequent (67). Teeth in the posterior upper jaw can become tender on chewing and percussion (allodynia/hyperalgesia) and a primary dental cause may be necessary to exclude. ...
... Because of its strong ability to distinguish the deep tissue, imaging has become an important examination to evaluate the location and severity of sinonasal lesions. Among the imaging examinations, computer tomography (CT) scan is preferred to evaluate the acute and chronic nasal inflammation [18]. However, as NPC patients are often revisited by oncologists, both of the patients and doctors usually tend to pay more attention to the tumor than sinusitis. ...
... Therein, the affected general population of China ranks at the top of the global list, with a prevalence of more than 23.6% among adults older than 30 years of age (11). However, as previous surveys have reported, the incidence of OSA has remained underestimated, and the undiagnosed proportion was 75 to 90% in the US (12,13). In addition, the undiagnosed condition contributed to an enormous global healthcare burden, causing the social level costs to amount to more than $150 billion per year in the US (10,14,15), and medical costs up to e10.7 to e32.0 billion per year in Italy were due to OSA (16). ...
... [4,13] e incidence of persistent patent Sternberg's canal ranges from 0.42% to 6.1% in adults. [17] Sternberg's canal may persist due to ossification disturbances within the fusion planes of the sphenoid sinus in childhood. Before final fusion, a small canal connecting the middle cranial fossa with the nasopharynx is created, called the lateral craniopharyngeal canal. ...
