What is Pansinusitis?
Pansinusitis is defined as the inflammation or infection of all the sinuses in the head i.e Maxillary sinus, Ethmoid sinus, Sphenoid sinus, and Frontal sinus causing nasal congestion which can lead to headache or heaviness in the head, running nose with stuffiness.
The major function of the sinuses is to produce mucus that moisturizes the nose from the inside.
What causes Pansinusitis?
The sinuses are hollow spaces that are located behind the forehead, cheeks, and around the nose. Sinuses are lined with mucus that helps trap germs and debris. Pansinusitis can occur because of some blockage in the nose or sinuses which can lead to obstruction of the sinuses and thus make it harder for the sinuses to drain.
There are some causative factors such as:
• Recurrent history of coryza
• Narrowed nose passages
• Seasonal allergies
• Smoking
• Nasal polyps
• Nasal bone spur
• Recurrent upper respiratory tract infections
• Deviated nasal septum
• Structural problems within the sinuses
