[Hassem]

Dear Colleagues.

I would like your input on the following images of a maxillary sinus: 65 Y-O
male referred for evaluation of an impacted third molar.

The left maxillary sinus is completely obliterated, and the cortical bone
appears to be getting more thickness. With no relevant history, I am
considering a Sinusitis. Mucocele or low grade malignant process less
likely.

Any other suggestions? 

 





 

For comparison, I am adding also a coronal image of a patient with a
confirmed Acute sinusitis.



 

Regards,

Hassem Geha, DDS, MDS
