What does total opacification of right frontal sinus mean?

Answer 1

When looking at a CT of the sinuses, they should appear black meaning they're devoid of any materials. Opacification of your right frontal sinus means the sinus cavity just above your right eye is showing opaque in a CT scan which normally is a sign of inflammation or infection.

Polyps and tumors will also show up opacified in the scan.

If you're concerned, I would pay a visit to your local ENT.

Answer 2

Total opacification of the right frontal sinus refers to a complete filling of the sinus cavity with fluid, mucus, or other material, leading to a loss of air within the sinus. This can be indicative of inflammation, infection, or blockage within the sinus, which may result in symptoms such as pain, pressure, and congestion. Further evaluation by a healthcare professional, such as a CT scan or endoscopic examination, may be necessary to determine the underlying cause and appropriate treatment.

Answer 3

hypoplastic means its either underdeveloped or there is some volume loss. ask your doctor about silent sinus syndrome( most docs havent heard of this), that's what i was dx'd with the only difference being that the opacification (cloudy) part was on the left side on a previous mri which they attributed to acute active sinusitis. Then later came the volume loss on the right.

Answer 4

opacification of the right maxillary with sinus paranasal sinus disease mean
