Infection in the maxillary sinuses present in the skull is called maxillary sinuses. These sinuses are air filled cavities in the substance of bone.
In humans at least, maxillary sinusitis is not related to numbness of the upper teeth. In fact, it can actually be associated with a referred toothache due to irritation of the superior alveolar nerve. If you experience a numb tooth along with maxillary sinusitis, there is a good chance your sinusitis is secondary to the spread of infection from a necrosed tooth. (Dead tooth pulp is numb.)
Maxillary antrum is also known as maxillary sinus and is the biggest of the paranasal sinuses. Mucosal thickening within the maxillary antrum is one of the signs of sinusitis.
Near complete opacification of bilateral maxillary sinuses indicates that there is extensive filling of the maxillary sinuses with fluid, blood, mucus, or other material. This may suggest sinusitis, a sinus infection, or other inflammatory process affecting the sinuses. Further evaluation and treatment by a healthcare provider may be needed.
Mucosal thickening in the right maxillary sinus is a common finding on a sinus CT scan and can indicate inflammation or infection. This thickening may be due to conditions such as sinusitis, allergies, or a viral infection. Further evaluation by a healthcare provider may be needed to determine the underlying cause and appropriate treatment.
Antral lavage is a medical procedure where the maxillary sinus is flushed with a saline solution to remove mucus, pus, or other debris. It is commonly used to treat sinusitis or to obtain a sample for testing in cases of chronic sinus infections.
CPT code 08130 is used for "surgical procedures on the sinuses, specifically for a bilateral maxillary antrostomy." This procedure involves creating an opening in the maxillary sinuses to facilitate drainage and improve the treatment of sinusitis or related conditions. It is important to confirm the code's current usage and any updates directly from the latest coding resources or guidelines.

They can be...Human sinuses are broken into four groups known collectively as the paranasal sinuses. These four groups are: maxillary, frontal, sphenoid and ethmoids. All four are located in the bones of our skulls, but they are also attached to the nose. When one of them becomes infected it can affect more than just the nasal passages. It can cause pain and swelling in the eyes, face, or jaw. For example, the maxillary sinuses; which are located beneath the eyes and also in the facial cheekbones on the side of the nose, can cause jaw pain when they become infected.A sinus headache is a symptom of inflamed, congested sinuses. To get rid of your headache, you must reduce the inflammation in your sinuses. Learning the cause will make it easier to treat.Regards!
First of all, your maxillary is part of your upper jaw and face. You have the maxillary sinuses that are generally the ones that get infected, along with the rest of the sinus system.
