This paper presents the results of treatment of 81 children, aged 5 to 14 years, suffering from exudation ethmoid sinusitis; isolated ethmoid sinusitis was diagnosed in 17.8% and ethmoid sinusitis combined with maxillary sinusitis was detected in 61.7% cases. Most sinusitis cases (82.7%) were diagnosed in 5 to 10 year-old children. The ethmoidal labyrinth and maxillary sinus were treated by the puncture method, infection of other paranasal sinuses being excluded by the application of antibacterial, enzymic, corticosteroid drugs, immune agents, and adenotomy. Antibiotic therapy of 2 weeks in duration applied to the ethmoid labyrinth and maxillary sinus was more efficient when compared to the sinus treatment alone. The stable clinical effect was seen in 86.4% cases. This therapeutic approach can find application in practical otolaryngology.

Unlabelled: Pott's puffy tumor, a rare complication of frontal sinusitis or trauma, presents with subperiosteal abscess and osteomyelitis of the frontal bone. Early diagnosis with imaging studies and prompt treatment with antibiotics and percutaneous drainage of the abscess requires in most cases for a successful outcome. We report a case of a 12-year-old boy who initially presented with left sided retro-orbital/frontal area headache associated with high grade temperature and painful localized small forehead swelling.

Problem Statement: While CT (Computed Tomography) is commonly used, its diagnostic accuracy for chronic sinusitis remains uncertain. Moreover, the high cost of CT examinations limits its use as a routine diagnostic method. There is an urgent need to develop an AI-assisted diagnostic model for sinusitis.

Background/objectives: Tissue remodeling, including dense eosinophil infiltration, is essential for forming inflammatory nasal polyps (NPs) and the pathogenesis of chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP). Toxic eosinophil major basic protein (MBP) damages the sinus mucosa epithelium and lamina propria, which initiates reparative processes leading to tissue remodeling. MBP specifically binds to BMK-13 antibodies allowing immunohistochemical (IHC) tissue staining for eosinophils.
