    Area of Science:

    • Otorhinolaryngology
    • Medical instrumentation
    • Biophysics

    Background:

    • Frontal sinus ventilation is crucial for sinonasal health.
    • Accurate measurement of nasofrontal duct resistance is challenging.
    • Differential diagnosis of frontal sinus affections requires reliable methods.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To introduce a novel electromanometric method for assessing frontal sinus ventilation.
    • To quantify the resistance of the nasofrontal duct.
    • To explore the clinical utility in diagnosing frontal sinus diseases.

    Main Methods:

    • Development of an electromanometric system for hydrodynamic current generation.
    • Quantitative measurement of airflow and pressure within the frontal sinus.
    • Experimental validation of the biophysical principles.

    Main Results:

    • The electromanometric method provides quantitative data on frontal sinus ventilation.
    • Nasofrontal duct resistance can be accurately measured under hydrodynamic conditions.
    • Demonstration of typical examination results and their interpretation.

    Conclusions:

    • The described electromanometric technique offers a precise tool for evaluating frontal sinus function.
    • This method has significant potential in the differential diagnosis of frontal sinus affections.
    • Further clinical studies are warranted to establish its full diagnostic value.
