Chronic maxillary sinusitis can cause bone loss and sinus wall collapse, leading to cosmetic issues and potential vision problems. Treating the sinusitis may halt the progression of bone deterioration.

Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Chronic maxillary sinusitis is a common condition.
  • Maxillary bone loss and sinus wall atelectasis are potential complications.
  • Subclinical sinusitis may contribute to these changes.

Observation:

  • Two cases of maxillary bone loss and sinus wall atelectasis associated with chronic subclinical maxillary sinusitis are presented.
  • Maxillary sinus atelectasis can cause mild cosmetic deformity.
  • Orbital floor involvement by atelectasis may lead to diplopia.

Findings:

  • Ostial obstruction and inflammation-mediated osteopenia are the hypothesized mechanisms.
  • These factors contribute to the observed bone loss and atelectasis.

Implications:

  • Early diagnosis and management of chronic maxillary sinusitis are crucial.
  • Surgical treatment of sinusitis may prevent further maxillary bone loss and associated complications.
  • This condition highlights the importance of considering sinus health in facial structure and function.
