Inflammation of the sinus mucoperiosteum, often due to blockage of ostium.

A short-term inflammation of the sinuses, often following a viral infection.

Long-lasting inflammation of the sinuses, often with recurrent symptoms.

Sinus infection originating from dental issues, like tooth infections.

Sinus inflammation caused by fungal infections, such as Mucormycosis and Aspergillosis.

A fungal infection affecting the sinuses, often serious in immunocompromised individuals.

A fungal sinusitis that can be noninvasive or invasive, affecting healthy or immunocompromised individuals.

A type of aspergillosis that typically affects healthy people without immune deficiencies.

A severe form of aspergillosis affecting those with weakened immune systems, like diabetics and HIV patients.

Common signs include pain, swelling, tenderness, and nasal discharge, especially after dental procedures.

In aspergillosis, thickened mucoperiosteum and calcified fungal masses appear on imaging.

Presence of sheets of branching septate hyphae, typically appearing near blood vessels.

A genus of mold named after a holy water dispenser, resembles a structure with holes.

Pain, stuffiness, tenderness in sinus walls, thick nasal discharge, fever, and elevated WBC.

A prolonged condition of sinusitis lasting over 3 months, can arise without acute phase.

Air-fluid level appearing as a faint line in sinus X-rays, indicating the presence of mucus or pus.

Localized or generalized thickening of mucosa; diffuse radiopacity throughout the sinus.

Localized mucosal edema adjacent to infected root apex; may present as thickening on X-ray.

Bone reaction causing more bone layering atop existing; appears as a radiopaque halo.

A severe type of fungal infection leading to bloody nasal discharge and potentially necrosis.

Presence of fever and chills indicating an infection.

Focus on treating underlying dental or periodontal disease for resolution of sinus symptoms.

Differentiated from other sinus issues through histology showing unique large branching hyphae.

Sinus opacification with wall destruction indicated on imaging studies.

Acute: sudden onset; Chronic: persistent, lasting over 3 months.

Treatment includes antibiotics and removing infection causes.

Surgery may be needed if symptomatic; no treatment if asymptomatic.

Requires surgical debridement, corticosteroids, and antibiotics.

A solitary lesion without an epithelial lining, caused by inflammatory exudate.

True cyst with an epithelial lining, often due to blockage.

AP is solitary; MRC can be multiple, both usually asymptomatic.

Usually asymptomatic but can cause vague sinus stuffiness.

Faintly radiopaque, homogeneous dome-shaped mass, usually no wall disruption.

Thickened mass of chronically inflamed mucous membrane.

Can displace or destroy sinus walls depending on size.

Expansile lesion from ostium blockage, leading to sinus wall thinning.

Causes swelling/fullness, can compress surrounding areas.

Malignancy in sinus mucosa, with no known relation to tobacco.

Maxillectomy or radiation therapy depending on spread.

Unilateral stuffiness, obstruction, palatal enlargement, and tooth displacement.
