Summary

Rhinoscleroma, a chronic inflammatory disease, can affect the maxillary antrum, often presenting as atrophic, granulomatous, or fibrotic lesions. Maxillary antrum involvement in rhinoscleroma may prolong treatment response due to its role as a potential infection reservoir.

Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Inflammatory Diseases
  • Microbiology

Background:

  • Rhinoscleroma is a chronic granulomatous inflammatory disease primarily affecting the upper respiratory tract mucosa.
  • Maxillary antrum involvement in rhinoscleroma is considered rare, with limited understanding of its presentation and implications.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the prevalence, characteristics, and anatomical distribution of rhinoscleroma lesions within the maxillary antrum.
  • To determine the significance of maxillary antrum involvement as a potential reservoir for persistent infection in rhinoscleroma patients.

Main Methods:

  • Performed antroscopy in 20 patients diagnosed with rhinoscleroma.
  • Documented the type, nature, and specific location of lesions identified within the maxillary antrum.

Main Results:

  • Rhinoscleroma lesions were found in the maxillary antrum in 60% of the studied patients.
  • Observed lesion types included atrophic changes, granulomas, and fibrotic healed stages.
  • The anterior-inferior aspect and medial wall of the maxillary antrum were the most frequently affected sites.

Conclusions:

  • Maxillary antrum involvement in rhinoscleroma is more common than previously thought.
  • These lesions may serve as a reservoir for infection, potentially contributing to prolonged treatment duration and reduced response to antibiotics in rhinoscleroma patients.
