Sinusitis is an inflammatory condition involving the sinuses.
The disease is a bacterial or viral infection that actually develop the disease.
The inflammation in the sinusitis is localized in the sinuses – sinuses located around the nose.
Sinusitis takes place both in acute and in chronic forms of flow. In some cases, the cause of the disease can become banal Allergy or fungal infection.
What is sinusitis?
But in order for that to understand more precisely the localization of the infection is to understand what the sinuses are, and their precise location and role in our body as a whole.
First of all, you should know that the sine is called a cavity located in the front of the skull, forming the similarity in the bone cavities. In humans there are seven sinus cavities ( one wedge-shaped, and the other pair: frontal, maxillary, paranasal).
Each of these sinuses not only connects with the nasal cavity, but is lined with mucosal tissue.
In the case of occurring inflammatory process the message with the nasal cavity have one or more of the sinuses is terminated due to mucosal edema and sinus in turn begins to accumulate mucus leading to more inflammation in mind the rapid multiplication of pathogens and transformation of mucous secretion into pus, and is determined by the type of sinusitis.
Sinusitis is also one of the forms above described diseases.
Sinusitis is the inflammation is localized in one of the two or both frontal sinuses.
Steroidit – inflammation affects the sphenoid sinus.
Etmoidit — this inflammation affects the so-called ethmoid sinuses.
The symptoms of this disease include: malaise, weakness, frequent headaches, it is not uncommon in patients with marked fever.
Also to the above listed symptoms may include difficulty breathing in one or both nasal passages, frequent nasal and nasopharyngeal secretions.
On the basis of symptoms of the disease and the severity of his current sinusitis is subdivided into heavy, light and medium forms are current.
In the absence of proper and timely treatment of sinusitis, which, in turn, may require surgical intervention.
The main danger is the presence of an infectious inflammation in the bones of the skull, weakening of immune forces of the organism as a whole, as well as the ability of the sinus to give the so-called impetus to the development of other infectious diseases( tracheitis, bronchitis, pharyngitis) at a constant inflammatory process can also without much work to go f chronic course.
According to this, when the first symptoms should consult a specialist, and began timely medical treatment to avoid further complications.
