Is acute sinusitis serious

summary

People think that sinusitis is not a serious disease, there is no need to mobilize the masses. In fact, some diseases do not affect the health of our internal organs as our eyes see. For example, sinusitis may cause brain injury. So what harm does rhinitis have after all?

Is acute sinusitis serious

First: direct infection: nasal cavity and oral cavity, throat, lower respiratory tract and digestive tract are directly connected, secretions from rhinitis and sinusitis are drained downward, directly stimulating these tissues, causing various lesions.

Second: the destruction of bone wall infection: Sinusitis if the destruction of the bone wall of the paranasal sinus, inflammation often extends to other tissues, because the location of the paranasal sinuses is different, so the complications are also different, such as frontal sinusitis is easy to cause orbital or intracranial complications; ethmoid sinusitis damages the top wall, invades the anterior cranial fossa, penetrates the lateral wall, and causes orbital complications. The destruction of skull base by sphenoid sinusitis can cause different complications in the brain, and can also cause retrobulbar optic neuritis. Maxillary sinusitis can cause orbital infection and alveolar thin tube and other complications.

Third: bloodstream infection: the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses are rich in vascular network, and have complex connections with the orbit and intracranial. Therefore, the bacteria and toxins of rhinitis and sinusitis first destroy the vascular intima to form thrombosis, and the embolus is transmitted to other organs along with the bloodstream, causing complications.
