Sinusitis means inflammation of the sinus(es). Sinusitis can result from allergy, infections, or even chemical exposure. Patients with sinus disease often complain of nasal and head congestion, headaches, and post nasal drip.
Inflammation or infection of the sinuses. Usually refers to the eight sinuses adjacent to the nose.
Inflammation of the nasal sinuses, usually occurring following a bacterial rhinitis.
inflammation of the sinuses. (AVELOX is not approved for the treatment of sinusitis, but is approved for use in the treatment of acute bacterial sinusitis caused by certain susceptible pathogens.)
Sinusitis is inflammation of the membrane lining the facial sinuses, most often caused by viral infections or allergies. Occasionally bacterial infection occurs after no less than seven days of symptoms.
There are a number of sinuses, air-filled cavities, within the bones of the head. These are lined with a special skin called mucous membrane, which is similar to that found inside the mouth. This lining inside the cavities can become infected and inflamed producing sinusitis which can be very painful.
inflammation that occurs with allergies may block sinus drainage and increase susceptibility to sinusitis; may be acute or chronic.
Inflammation of the sinus cavities. Its symptoms include headache (particularly upon waking,) nasal drainage (rhinorrhea,) jaw and/or teeth sensitivity, swelling around the eyes, nasal congestion and loss of smell. Causes can be infection (viral, bacterial or fungal,) medicines (their side-effects,) and allergies, specifically, when allergic or chronic rhinitis causes sinusitis. Allergies are the leading cause of chronic (long-term) sinusitis; structural abnormalities are also a contributor.
Infection in the cavities of facial bones. Symptoms include pressure or pain around or below the eyes, persistent yellow nasal discharge, mucus drainage in the throat, and nasal stuffiness.
A swelling of one or more nasal sinuses. It may be a complication of an upper respiratory infection, dental infection, allergy a change in atmosphere, as in air travel or underwater swimming, or a defect of the nose. With swelling of nasal mucous membranes the openings from sinuses to the nose may be blocked, causing pressure, pain, headache, fever, and local tenderness Complications include spread of infection to bone, brain, ormeninges. Treatment includes steam inhalations, nasal decongestants, analgesics, and, if infection is present, antibiotics. Surgery to improve drainage may be done to treat chronic sinusitis.
Infection of the nasal sinuses with sinus pain, nasal discharge, nasal obstruction, and inflammation. Usually occurs in immunocompetent patients with a history of allergy and nasal polyps. If not treated other infections such as parinasal sinuses, and the central nervous system can also be involved.
Any infection or allergic reaction that causes an inflammation of the lining of the sinuses. Sinuses are hollow spaces found in the bones of the head and face.
Inflammation of the mucous membrane of any sinus, especially of the nasal sinuses.
an extension of inflammation from the nasal mucosa.
Infection involving one or more of the sinuses.
inflammation of the sinuses, the air-filled cavities on the face.
Inflammation of the paranasal sinuses that can cause fever, headache, nasal congestion, and purulent discharge.
Infection or inflammation of the sinuses. When the sinuses are infected, there is usually a low-grade fever, tenderness to touch over the sinuses, and a thick, colored nasal or post-nasal drainage.
inflammation of the membranes lining the facial sinuses, often caused by bacterial or viral infection, or allergic reaction.
acute or chronic inflammation or infection of the paranasal sinuses (cavities behind the forehead and cheekbones), which may be characterized by nasal congestion and discharge, fever and headache. Sinusitis may be caused by bacteria, viruses or fungi, or may be allergy-related. Treatment includes decongestants, antibiotics and surgical drainage.
An inflammation or infection of one or more sinuses. The sinuses are hollow air spaces located around the nose and eyes.
Inflammation or infection of the sinuses, which are cavities behind the forehead and cheekbones.
Inflammation and infection of the sinuses.
inflammation of the sinus, the air pockets in the bones of the forehead and the face that connect to the inside of the nose by small passageways
inflammation of the tissue lining the facial sinuses; caused by a bacterial or viral infection, or an allergic reaction.
(SIE-new-SIE-tis) ( listen) Inflammation of a sinus
Inflammation of the sinuses usually caused by bacterial infection. Acute sinusitis is the sudden onset of symptoms that can be treated with antibiotics and decongestants. Chronic sinusitis is characterized by multiple recurrences of sinusitis or infection that last s several weeks.
inflammation of a sinus of the skull
Sinusitis is inflammation of the lining membrane of any of the hollow areas (sinuses) of the bone of the skull around the nose. The sinuses are directly connected to the nasal cavities.
Inflammation of the membrane lining any body cavity that is called a sinus, especially the sinuses alongside the nose.
Sinusitis is inflammation of the membrane lining the facial sinuses, often caused by bacterial or viral infection.
Inflammation of the sinus that may mimic dental pain
infection of the upper respiratory tract causing inflammation of the nasal passages. Characterised by headache, pain around the sinuses, production of phlegm and a loss of smell.
Inflammation of one or more of the nasal sinuses.
Inflammation of the membrane lining of a sinus.
Inflammation of the lining of the paranasal sinuses, may be acute or chronic
An inflammation of a sinus.
inflammation or infection of the sinuses in the head.
An acute or chronic inflammation of the membrane lining the facial sinuses, often caused by a bacterial or viral infection.
A sinus infection, which is an inflammation of the lining in one of the sinuses typically characterized by pain and tenderness in sinus areas.
Inflammation of the nasal cavity and sinuses.
Inflammation of sinuses due to infection.
an infection, either viral or bacterial, of the sinus cavities. The infection leads to inflammation of these cavities, causing pain and sometimes headache.
infection or inflammation of a sinus or some of them.

Inflammation of the sinuses caused by infectious (bacterial, viral or fungal) or non-infectious (allergic) inflammation. Acute bacterial sinusitis is diagnosed if a common cold does not resolve, but symptoms are less than 4 weeks. It can be treated with antibiotics and decongestants. Chronic sinusitis is characterized by nasal symptoms that last 8 weeks or longer.
An irritation or inflammation of the lining of the sinuses; When the mucous membranes lining the sinus walls become inflamed, these openings become blocked and the sinuses do not drain properly

Sinusitis is an inflammation of the paranasal sinuses, which may or may not be as a result of infection, from bacterial, fungal, viral, allergic or autoimmune issues. Newer classifications of sinusitis refer to it as rhinosinusitis, taking into account the thought that inflammation of the sinuses cannot occur without some inflammation of the nose as well (rhinitis).
