    Area of Science:

    • Otolaryngology
    • Medical Imaging
    • Surgical Procedures

    Background:

    • Maxillary sinus radiographs can be challenging to interpret, leading to equivocal or misleading results.
    • Advanced imaging like tomography or CT scans are time-consuming and not always accessible.
    • Accurate diagnosis of maxillary sinus conditions is crucial for effective treatment.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the utility of rigid fiber optic antroscopy as an alternative diagnostic tool for the maxillary antrum.
    • To determine if antroscopy can be performed efficiently in an office setting.
    • To assess the tolerability and safety profile of the antroscopic procedure.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilized a rigid fiber optic antroscope for direct visualization of the maxillary antrum.

  • Performed the procedure as an office-based investigation under local anesthesia.
  • Monitored patient tolerance and assessed for any procedural complications or morbidity.

    • Main Results:

    • Rigid fiber optic antroscopy provides a viable alternative for maxillary sinus examination.
    • The procedure is quick and can be effectively conducted in an office setting.
    • Antroscopy was well-tolerated by patients and associated with very low morbidity.

    Conclusions:

    • Rigid fiber optic antroscopy is a practical, safe, and efficient method for evaluating the maxillary antrum.
    • This technique can overcome the limitations of radiographic interpretation and accessibility of advanced imaging.
    • Antroscopy offers a valuable diagnostic option for clinicians managing maxillary sinus issues.
