Researchers have developed and preliminarily tested a composite score that simultaneously assesses the severity of asthma and chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) in patients with both ...

The sinuses are normally self-cleaning systems, with mucus flowing freely to flush out irritants, allergens, and pathogens. When this natural drainage becomes obstructed—whether from ...

The procedure removes polyps, clears obstructions, and allows the sinuses to properly drain. The procedure is done under general anesthetic. The surgeon will use shavers and other special instruments ...

It is also called sinusitis. When the sinuses are inflamed, drainage is blocked and the sinuses fill with mucus. This can cause a sensation of pain and pressure along with a stuffy nose and sometimes ...

While coughs, especially in kids, can have a long list of causes, the physics of post-nasal drainage down the throat of the mucous produced in the nose and sinuses will cause a cough to protect ...

indicators of a high risk of revision surgery include non-detectable anatomy of the nasal turbinates, which is often associated with polypoid mucosal swelling, as well as obstructed drainage of ...

Findings on endoscopy include nasal polyps, mucopurulent drainage or edema/mucosal obstruction, primarily in the middle meatus (Figures 1 & 2). While anterior rhinoscopy may also identify polyps ...

Breathing in this moist air can soothe irritated tissues and swollen blood vessels in your nose and sinuses. Some people claim that heated, humidified air can also help congested mucus drain better.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to describe the peculiar anatomic variations in the lateral sinus and analyze the patterns of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) drainage by using high-resolution (HR) ...
