Acute Sinusitis Lecture Outline Classification Etiology Presentation Diagnostic tests Treatment Follow-up Complications
Slide 3-

Sinusitis Classification Definitions Acute Sx & signs of infectious process < 3 weeks duration Subacute Sx & signs 21 to 60 days Chronic > 60 days of sx & signs Or, 4 episodes of acute sinusitis each > 10 days in a single year
Slide 4-

General Contributors to Chronic Sinusitis Resistant infectious organisms Underlying systemic illness (esp. diabetes) Immunodeficiency Irreversible mucosal changes Anatomic abnormality
Slide 5-

Sinusitis Incidence Reportedly > 31 million cases in U.S. ? most common chronic illness Is in 17 % of patients > age 65 May occur in 0.5 to 1.0 % of all URI's
Slide 6-

Sinusitis Pathogenesis Basic cause is osteomeatal complex (the middle meatal region & the frontal, ethmoid, & maxillary sinus ostia there) inflammation & infection Sinus ostia occluded Colonizing bacteria replicate Ciliary dysfunction Mucosal edema Lowered PO2 & pH

Sinusitis Etiologic Organisms (& % incidence) Aerobic bacteria Strep. pneumoniae (30) Alpha & beta hemolytic Strep (5) Staph. aureus (5) Branhamella catarrhalis (15 to 20) Hemophilus influenzae (25 to 30) Escherichia coli (5) Anerobes (10 % acute, 66 % chronic) Peptostreptococcus, Propionobacterium, Bacteroides, Fusobacterium Fungi (2 to 5) Viruses (5 to 10)
Slide 15-

Acute Sinusitis Predisposing Conditions Local URI Allergic rhinitis Nasal septal defects Barotrauma (diving) Nasal foreign bodies Nasal tubes Dental infections Overuse of topical decongestants Nasal polyps or tumors Aspiration of infected water Smoking
Slide 16-

Acute Sinusitis Predisposing Conditions (cont.) Systemic Diabetes Immunocompromise (AIDS) Malnutrition Blood dyscrasias Cystic fibrosis Chemotherapy Long term steroid Rx
Slide 17-

Normal Functions of the Components of the Sinuses Ostia Drain secretions from sinuses Allow pressure equalization Diameter 2 to 5 mm (maxillary), 1 mm (ethmoid) Cilia Beat at frequency 1000 strokes/min. toward ostia Push secretions out of sinus Sinus secretions 2 layered mucus Contain IgA & IgG Patency of ostiomeatal complex required for sinusitis resolution
Slide 18-

Acute Sinusitis Usual Clinical Presentation Symptoms progress over 2 to 3 days Nasal congestion & discharge (usually thick & colored, not clear) Localized pain +/- referred pain Tenderness or pressure sensation over sinuses Headache Cough due to postnasal drip Halitosis Malaise
Slide 19-

Usual Physical Findings With Acute Sinusitis Erythematous edematous nasal mucosa Purulent secretions in middle meatal area May be absent if ostia completely blocked Percussion tenderness Over the involved sinuses Over the maxillary molar +/- premolar teeth Halitosis +/- fever
Slide 20-

Pain Patterns with Acute Sinusitis Maxillary sinusitis Unilateral pain over cheekbone Maxillary toothache Periorbital pain Temporal headache Pain worse if head upright Pain better if head supine
Slide 21-

Pain Patterns with Acute Sinusitis (cont.) Ethmoid sinusitis Medial canthal pain Medial periorbital or temporal headache Pain worsened by Valsalva or if supine Sphenoiditis Retroorbital, temporal, or vertical headache Often deep seated headache with multiple foci Pain worse supine or bending forward Frontal Frontal headache Pain worse supine

Slide 23-

Signs of Potentially Dangerous Complications of Acute Sinusitis Periorbital, frontal, or cheek edema Proptosis Ophthalmoplegia Ptosis Diplopia Meningeal signs Neuro deficits of cranial nerves II to VI
Slide 24-

Acute Sinusitis Use of Cultures Routine culture of nasal secretions not useful Poor correlation between non-directed nasal or nasopharyngeal culture isolates & sinus aspirate cultures Sinus aspirate cultures useful only for protracted or nonresponsive sinusitis Require endoscopy or needle puncture of sinus
Slide 25-

Use of Paranasal Sinus Transillumination to Diagnose Sinusitis First remove patient's dentures Use darkened room Shield light source from observer's eyes Use Welch Allyn transilluminator or Mini-Mag Lite Shine light over max. sinus & observe light transmission thru hard palate Report results as opaque, dull, or normal for either side Not useful for frontal sinuses since they often have developed asymmetrically
Slide 26-

ppt slide no 26 content not found
Slide 27-

Sensitivity of Transillumination to Diagnose Sinusitis Different studies have reached opposite conclusions on its usefulness ("Highly predictive" versus "criminal negligence") Some studies have indicated it is useful if sinus is completely opaque (c/w Dx of sinusitis) or is completely normal (c/w absence of sinusitis), but has poor predictive value & correlation if transmission is "dull" Can't be done in about 25 % of children due to poor cooperation
Slide 28-

Acute Sinusitis Radiography Plain films not as sensitive as CT Radiographic signs of sinus pathology : Air fluid levels Partial or complete opacification Bony wall displacement 4 mm or more of mucosal wall thickening Single Water's view has high concordance with 4 view sinus series (Caldwell, Water's, lateral, & submental vertex views)

Slide 36-

Limitations of Plain Film Radiography for Sinusitis Poor visualization of ethmoid air cells Difficulty distinguishing between infection, tumor, or polyp if sinus is completely opacified
Slide 37-

Use of Ultrasound for Diagnosis of Sinusitis Less sensitive than 4 view X-ray Shown to not correlate well with sinus cultures Accuracy is operator dependent CT preferred for evaluation of complications
Slide 38-

Another diagnostic modality for sinusitis is nasal endoscopy

Slide 41-

Use of Computed Tomography (CT) for Diagnosis of Sinusitis Advantages of CT : Visualizes ethmoid air cells Evaluates cause of opacified sinus Differentiates bony changes of chronic inflammation from osteomyelitis Indicated only if complications suspected or if diagnosis uncertain (not needed initially for most cases)

Goals of Medical Therapy for Acute Sinusitis Control Infection Facilitate sinus ostial patency and drainage Provide relief of symptoms Evaluate and treat any predisposing conditions to prevent recurrences
Slide 49-

General Treatment for Acute Sinusitis Oral antibiotic Topical and systemic decongestants Pain medications Optional or secondary medications: Guaifenesin (1200 mg po q 12h) warm nasal saline irrigations qid Antihistamine orally : only in the small % of patients with true allergic component
Slide 50-

First - Line Antibiotic Therapy for Acute Sinusitis Treatment duration should be 10 to 14 days (one recent study indicated 3 days may be OK) Amoxicillin 500 mg po q 8 h Augmentin 500 mg po q 8 h Trimethoprim / Sulfamethoxazole DS one po bid Azithromycin 500 mg po then 250 mg po q d x4 Pediazole (Erythromycin - sulfisoxazole) QID may be best choice in kids
Slide 51-

Slide 52-

Precautions Regarding Medication Interactions in Rx of Acute Sinusitis Remember that ciprofloxacin and clarithromycin are contraindicated if any of the nonsedating antihistamines (terfenadine, astemizole, and loratidine) are used as they cause prolonged QT syndrome and ventricular arrhythmias Also oral decongestants may cause problems in patients on TCA's, MAO inhibitors, and alpha blockers
Slide 53-

Use of Topical Decongestants for Rx of Acute Sinusitus Ephedrine sulfate 1 % 2 sprays each nostril q 4h Phenylephrine HCl 0.25 to 0.5 % 2 sprays q 4h Oxymetazoline HCl 0.05 % 2 sprays q 12h Limit use to 3 to 5 days to avoid rebound vasodilatation and "rhinitis medicamentosa"
Slide 54-

Use of Oral Decongestants for Rx of Acute Sinusitis Phenylpropanolamine HCl 12.5 mg po q 4h or 75 mg q 12h (now not available in U.S.A.) Pseudoephedrine HCl 60 mg po q 6h or 120 mg q 12h Usually should be continued for 4 weeks
Slide 55-

Treatment of Frontal Sinusitis Usually should be admitted for initial IV antibiotic Rx Higher incidence of intracranial complications Give IV Cefuroxime 2 gm IV q 8h or Ceftriaxone 2 gm IV q d and decongestants If not resolving in 24 to 48 hours of Rx may need surgical intervention ( frontal sinus trephination or external sinusectomy)
Slide 56-

Fungal Sinusitis Increasing incidence in both immunocompetent and immunocompromised patients 3 types Fulminant infection with soft tissue invasion Progressive indolent invasive disease Noninvasive localized disease ( mycetoma or allergic fungal sinusitis)
Slide 57-

Fungal Sinusitis Causative fungi: Aspergillus (most common) Rhizopus (mucormycosis) Candida Histoplasma Blastomces Coccidioides Cryptococcus
Slide 58-

Fungal Sinusitis Major risk factors: Granulocytopenia multiple prolonged courses of antibiotics or steroids DKA AIDS
