SINUS PROBLEM

Sinus disease was once considered as incurable but with the advent of latest equipments and better drugs availability, its now almost curable. The availability of endoscopes, high resolution camera, microdebrider and more sophisticated instruments the results are outstanding, and not to forget the better drugs available like steroid sprays and antihistamines. Orange Dental and ENT Care Centre, Snore and Sinus Clinic has the provision of latest technology to cure all possible sinus problems. Our doctors have a broad range of experience and expertise in diagnosing and managing general sinus cases as well as more complex sinus conditions.

Common sinus problems

Deviated nasal sseptumCSF leak
Turbinate hypertrophy’Nasal duct blockage (watering from Eyes)
RhinosinusitisNasal tumours
Sinonasal polyposisOrbital decompression

will include the following:

  • Physical examination.
  • Computed tomography (CT) scans.
  • Nasal Endoscopy
Treatment
Nasal steroids sprays can be used for problems associated with nasal septal deviations and turbinate hypertrophy. These medications help to reduce mucosal inflammation and therefore decongest the nose improving nasal breathing. 
However when the septum or turbinate bony structures are causing nasal obstruction or medications fail to improve symptoms, surgery is often required. This surgery may involve straightening the septum (septoplasty) or turbinate reduction (turbinoplasty).

We at Orange have latest technology and infrastructure to diagnose and treat these problems. We have latest instruments, endoscopes and machinery(microdebrider) to make this surgery a simple and to give complete relief to the patient. The surgery is done endoscopically completely inside the nose.

Rhinosinusitis, or sinusitis, is a condition involving inflammation in one or more of the paranasal sinuses. Acute sinusitis is inflammation usually caused by an infection lasting less than 4 weeks.  Acute sinusitis usually resolves with medical therapy including antibiotics. Chronic sinusitis is sinonasal inflammation lasting for more than 12 weeks and can be cause by multiple factors.
Symptoms
The following symptoms are associated with rhinosinusitis:

• Nasal congestion• Nasal discharge• Postnasal drip• Facial pressure or pain• Decreased sense of smell• Cough• Fever

Recurrent sinusitis and chronic sinusitis can cause long-term symptoms that can negatively impact a person’s quality of life. Chronic inflammation of the mucosal lining in the nose and sinuses may lead to the formation of nasal polyps in severe cases. Surgery can be effective in eliminating these symptoms if adequate medical therapy fails.

Diagnosis

  • Physical examination.
  • Computed tomography (CT) scans.
  • Nasal Endoscopy
  • In some cases laboratory tests are obtained for patients with:
    • Suspected allergies
    • Cystic fibrosis
    • Immune deficiencies

Treatment

  • Medical therapy including sino-nasal irrigation, antibiotics and nasal steroids are often combined with oral steroids to improve or eliminate sinonasal symptoms.
  • Surgery is indicated for patients with persistent sinusitis despite adequate medical therapy and severe nasal polyps caused by chronic inflammation.
