Cranial neuropathies in sinus disease.

E C Weisberger, H H Dedo

    The Laryngoscope
    |March 1, 1977
    PubMed
    Summary

    Cranial neuropathies are uncommon in sinus inflammation but more frequent with tumors. Sphenoid sinus involvement is common when nerve deficits occur in both conditions.

    Area of Science:

    • Otolaryngology
    • Neurology
    • Ophthalmology

    Background:

    • Cranial neuropathies can be associated with sinus disease, but their incidence and risk factors require further elucidation.
    • Understanding the anatomical relationship between sinuses and cranial nerves is crucial for diagnosis and management.

    Observation:

    • A retrospective review of inpatient cases at UCSF and SFGH was conducted to assess cranial nerve involvement in sinus disease.
    • Data on acute and chronic sinus inflammation, neoplastic disease, and associated complications were analyzed.

    Findings:

    • Cranial nerve involvement was infrequent in acute (8%) and chronic (4%) sinus inflammation but significantly higher in neoplastic sinus disease (32%).
    • Mucopyocele, mucormycosis, and orbital cellulitis increased the risk of neuropathy in inflammatory sinus disease.
    • Sphenoid sinus involvement was a common predilection when cranial nerve deficits occurred in both inflammatory and neoplastic sinus conditions.

    Implications:

    • This study highlights the importance of considering neoplastic etiologies in patients with sinus disease and cranial nerve deficits.
    • Awareness of specific risk factors and anatomical sites can aid in early diagnosis and intervention.
    • Further research into the pathogenesis and management of sinus-related cranial neuropathies is warranted.
