Ethmoiditis is an ethmoid sinus lining inflammation. The disease can occur in an acute or chronic form, it can be accompanied by suppuration.
In the acute form, it most often occurs in children and is accompanied by:

Chronic ethmoiditis is most often asymptomatic or the symptoms are mild, however, a chronic inflammatory process negatively affects the ethmoid sinus, destroying it.
The reasons for the ethmoiditis can be:
Due to the location of the ethmoid sinus near the eye orbits and the brain, the main danger is the possibility of arachnoiditis (inflammation of the arachnoid membrane of the brain or spinal cord), and retrobulbar abscess (purulent inflammation of the orbit). Therefore, the disease must be treated, and if the first unpleasant symptoms indicating inflammation – contact the otolaryngologist.
Diagnostics
To establish or cancel the ethmoiditis diagnosis otolaryngologists provide a number of exams, including endoscopic examination, as well as additional diagnostic methods:
The main task of the doctor is to provide an accurate diagnosis to differentiate ethmoiditis for other diseases, as well as to determine the degree and localization of inflammation to develop the most effective treatment tactics.
Treatment
Modern evidence-based medicine for ethmoiditis treatment uses two methods: conservative (medication) and surgical. The surgical one is used if the conservative method was not effective to the patient. Also, surgery is indicated if there are signs of intracranial or ocular complications.
Surgical treatment for ethmoiditis is called ethmoidotomy.
Experienced otolaryngologists in the Healthy&Happy medical centers use modern endoscopic methods of surgical treatment. These are minimally invasive techniques that allow being performed with the least damage to healthy tissues. Today, endoscopic ethmoidotomy is the most effective and safe method of the surgery aimed at eliminating the causes of inflammation and cleansing the sinuses.
How is the operation going?
The main task of endoscopic ethmoidotomy is to make free the nasal passages from mucus and pus and to ensure free movement of air in the nasal channels.
Depending on the inflammation localization and the tissue damage, the procedure is performed through the internal nasal channel or through an external micro-incision.
During surgery, the doctor removes fluid accumulated in the sinuses, removes damaged tissue, and, if necessary, inserts a drainage tube to drain fluids from the nasal channels.
The operation can take place under local or general anesthesia. In the case of an operation under general anesthesia, it is necessary to get a cardiologist’s opinion and an anesthesiologist’s consultation before the operation.
Thanks to the use of low-traumatic methods, the recovery period after surgery is as short as possible, and the patient does not need a hospital stay.
