Photo of genyantritis: what it is and how the symptoms look in the picture
Some people are interested in what looks like maxillary sinusitis on an x-ray and ultrasound scan?
Without proper medical equipment, it is almost impossible to determine the inflammation of the maxillary sinuses.
First of all, the doctor suggests to make the patient an x-ray or ultrasound of the nasal sinuses.
When studying the picture, the doctor first looks at the state of the sinuses of the nose. If they are not pneumatized, that is, they are not filled with air, then it means a pathological process.
The sinusitis in the picture can be determined by the dark and semi-oval formations, which are located on both sides of the nasal cavities.
Through air tissue formations, the X-ray passes unhindered and is not reflected from them. Consequently, such a reflection on X-ray will not be recorded. If there is a congestion in the nasal cavity, then it is a sinusitis (see photo below). With genyantritis, three types of fluids can be present in the nasal cavity:
- Catarrhal.
- Mucous.
- Purulent.
However, even if a patient gets a picture in his hand, with such signs, he should not prescribe his own treatment, as this picture does not always indicate sinusitis. Often additional studies are required to establish an accurate diagnosis.
Purulent or catarrhal substance can not always be determined by characteristic darkening. A more often rounded dark spot appears with cysts or tumor formations. If the malignant formation begins to develop in the paranasal sinuses, this obscuration can be seen only after a certain time.
By analogy with sinusitis, cysts usually increase proportionally in all directions.
What can not be seen on X-rays
Sometimes it is impossible to differentiate the purulent and catarrhal inflammation of the maxillary sinuses on an X-ray image. A simple inflammatory fluid and a purulent infiltrate on the image look the same. In this case, the morphological composition of the contents of the nasal cavity can be determined only after taking the puncture.However, in the presence of pus shades in the picture will be lighter, and with edema the entire picture will be uniformly colored. However, some physicians do not consider this statement to be true, therefore, studies in this area are still underway.
It is impossible to determine a cyst or tumor formation without contrast X-ray. The disease is clearly visible in the image of the direct projection. However, in order to be sure of the diagnosis, it is better for the doctor to assign pictures in additional projections:
- Nosopubborodochnoy.
- Chin.
- Axial.

Causes and symptoms of genyantritis
The causes that cause inflammation of the maxillary sinuses are different. Most often, sinusitis and its unpleasant symptoms are complications of infectious pathologies of the upper respiratory tract, the treatment of which was ineffective or not at all.Inflammation of the maxillary cavities can develop after rhinitis (runny nose). This condition must necessarily be treated, otherwise the inflammation can spread to the maxillary sinuses. Other reasons include:
- Tonsillitis.
- Adenoiditis.
- Curvature of the nasal septum.
- Diseases of the teeth.
- Allergies.
- Decreased immunity.
- Diseases of autoimmune nature.
Symptoms of sinusitis in adults:
- Swelling and stuffiness of the nose.
- Mucous discharge from the nasal passages.
- Green and yellow dense crusts in the nose.
- Soreness in the area of the maxillary sinuses, provoked by fluid pressure from the inside.
- Unpleasant odor from the nose.
If the treatment of sinusitis does not occur in time, the symptoms of the disease, in particular pain, become more pronounced. With genyantritis, the sense of smell almost always disappears.
In acute inflammatory process in the maxillary cavities, the patient often raises body temperature and there is a general deterioration in well-being.
Treatment of inflammation of the maxillary sinuses
What treatment is best for maxillary sinusitis? Such a question is often asked by patients to the otolaryngologist. Treatment entirely depends on the factors that provoked the inflammatory process.
- If the genyantritis is bacterial in nature, the doctor must prescribe the patient antibiotics for sinusitis. Usually it is Augmentin, Amoxicilin, Doxycycline.
- Treatment of sinusitis requires the use of local preparations of antibacterial, antiseptic and anti-inflammatory action: Isofra, Bioparox, Polidex.
- In the therapeutic complex with sinusitis include vasoconstrictive drugs, among them: Tizin, Naphthyzinum, Galazolin. These drugs temporarily eliminate the symptoms of sinusitis, but do not treat the disease itself.
- Uncomplicated sinusitis can be treated with the daily rinsing of the nasal cavity with special antiseptic solutions. This measure is necessary to ensure the outflow of mucus and pus.
- If the disease is allergic, the patient should take antihistamines.
If the symptoms of sinusitis are viscous and thick mucus, it must be diluted. For this purpose, special thinners are used:
- Minuporte.
- Fluidite.
- Sinupret.
- Rinoflumacil.
- Erespal.
All of them are of plant origin and are assigned in combination with other means. Often, sinusitis is accompanied by an increase in body temperature, in this case, the patient is shown antipyretic drugs (Nurofen, Paracetamol). Nurofen is given and when the disease provokes severe pain in the face.
Purulent inflammation and the inability to exit the contents require a puncture. The procedure consists in puncturing the wall of the maxillary sinus, aspiration of the pus, rinsing the cavity, followed by the administration of antibiotics and antiseptics. How to diagnose sinusitis, Dr. Komarovsky will tell in the video in this article.

How does a genyantritis in a picture
Sinusitis can be diagnosed in many ways. One of the most reliable is the diagnosis of an X-ray. In the picture, the inflamed maxillary sinus looks like a vessel partially filled with a turbid liquid.
Sinusitis is a chronic disease that is an inflammation of the mucous membrane in the maxillary sinuses. Usually the causes of maxillary sinusitis are complications after the transferred infectious diseases or chronic rhinitis.Maxillary sinusitis on X-ray
On the X-ray, which is done for the diagnosis of sinusitis, you can see the frontal bones of the skull, eye sockets, nasal passages. Under the eye sockets are the maxillary sinuses. If you look at a picture of the maxillary sinuses of a patient with sinusitis, you can see a distinct cloudiness in the region of the maxillary sinus. This turbidity indicates that there is liquid in it. In the normal state, the maxillary sinus is filled not with liquid, but with air. In a healthy person, the color of the maxillary sinuses in the image is the same as that of the eye sockets. If the color of the sinuses is more reminiscent of the color of the bone, that is, it is not dark, but whitish-matte - hence, there is liquid in them. Usually the sinus is filled with a liquid not by 100%. This effect is called the effect of "milk in a glass" - the sinus looks like a vessel that is not completely filled with whitish liquid.
Another sign of sinusitis - on the x-ray of the maxillary sinus clearly shows its marginal darkening. It has sharp contours and the same width all over the sinus. The reason for the dimming is mucosal edema.
The maxillary sinuses from the inside are lined with a thin layer of mildly innervated mucosa. A small number of nerves affects the weak carrying out of painful impulses, as a result of which inflammation of the maxillary sinus can proceed for a long time without any symptoms.
Diagnostic Problems
While the sinus is filled with fluid incompletely - sinusitis can be diagnosed by the picture. When the fluid fills the sinus one hundred percent, the x-ray of the sinuses will have a solid blackout and the sinusitis will be difficult to diagnose.
In cases where the mucous membrane of the maxillary sinus has a significant thickness, sinusitis can be diagnosed according to the following feature: on the x-ray at an inclined position of the head in the chin-nasal projection, the lumen of the maxillary sinus has a strong darkening.
It is not necessary to be engaged in diagnostics and treatment of a genyantritis independently. It is better to consult an otolaryngologist and carry out the necessary diagnostic procedures (for example, diaphanoscopy).

With the right blackout this is right-sided sinusitis. You treat nothing bad. there are also bilateral and also treated!
Oksana Klim
A genyantritis serious enough illness or disease, to me it or him longly treated, and have then made a puncture, at once two, to me then 7 years were. After that, the sinusitis passed completely. If you have it not so long ago, you can try to get rid of it with folk remedies or medications, a puncture, as for me. this is the last resort.. on the other hand, you can not run, so that he goes further
Silver
In the picture, the right sinus is not LIGHT, but opaque (that is, e. STRAINED - this is x-ray, almost negative) - this means inflammation! Make a puncture!
Due to the fact that the maxillary sinus is inflamed, a kind of capsule forms around it, preventing the penetration of medicinal products into it. And get them there is difficult as through the nose (drops of all sorts), and through the blood (antibiotics, for example). Therefore, need a puncture (puncture). Trust your doctor!
The procedure is not very pleasant, but, believe me, relief will come almost immediately.
