Balloon sinuplasty for the surgical management of immunocompromised and critically ill patients with acute rhinosinusitis.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to review use of balloon sinuplasty for surgical treatment in critically ill patients with acute sinusitis.

Study Design: Case series with chart review.

Subjects And Methods: Patients who underwent balloon sinuplasty between October 2007 and March 2008 were identified.

Revisiting the interpretation of positive sinus CT findings: a radiological and symptom-based review.

Objective: It is widely believed that a high percentage of normal, healthy patients without sinusitis symptoms have abnormal findings on sinus CT. Experiences of the authors of this study suggest otherwise.

Study Design: Cross-sectional survey.
