Sinuses Problems


It suprised me, when I started working in CT, how many people have sinus problems. It seens to a common thing and a lot of people have surgery to help with their problems. Sinus problems can cause infections, severe headaches, pressure in the head, and more. Some cases I have seen the patient actually gets severe vertigo from sinus problems. We perform sinus CT on all different ages. Sometimes antiobotics dont even help. If one has sinusitis and they do not have it treated it can lead to chronic sinusitis and severe infections. The way doctors help with sinus problems vary. One of the most common surgeries is nasal irrigation. It is a very common problems here and hopefully one day they will have a better solution.
