Sinusitis Articles

Read our exclusive BackTable ENT Articles for quick insights on sinusitis, provided by physicians for physicians.

How to Diagnose Sinus Headache vs Migraine

Headaches are often mistaken for sinus issues, but many are actually migraines or other non-sinus conditions. This article examines why misdiagnosis is common and how careful evaluation and integrative approaches can improve diagnosis and patient outcomes.

Headache Management: Medicine, Supplements & Botox

Managing sinus headaches and migraines goes beyond simple lifestyle changes. From supplements to advanced therapies, this article explores how personalized, integrative care can ease symptoms and improve quality of life.

Intracranial Complications of Acute Sinusitis: Examination, Treatment & Prevention

Though rare, acute sinusitis can lead to intracranial, intraorbital, or osseous complications. Pediatric otolaryngologist Dr. Amanda Stapleton offers valuable insights on managing these rare but serious conditions in children.

Surgical Management of Acute Sinusitis with Intracranial Complications

Acute sinusitis can cause intracranial or intraorbital complications, sometimes necessitating corrective surgery of the complication in addition to sinus surgery. Dr. Amanda Stapleton shares her approach to management of such cases.

Chronic Invasive Fungal Sinusitis Treatment

Surgical intervention and antifungal medication are two of the primary treatment options for patients with chronic invasive fungal sinusitis (chronic IFS). However, finding the right balance between surgery and medical management can be difficult.

The Many Presentations of Fungal Sinusitis

Fungal Sinusitis is an inflammatory sinus infection caused by the inhalation of certain types of fungus. There are many distinct presentations of fungal sinusitis, including allergic fungal sinusitis (AFS), acute fungal sinusitis, and chronic invasive fungal sinusitis (chronic IFS).

Diagnosing Chronic Invasive Fungal Sinusitis

Diagnosing chronic invasive fungal sinusitis (chronic IFS) can be tough, as patients with this condition tend to have generalizable symptoms, and may not be diagnosed until their condition has worsened to the point of irreversible damage.

Chronic Frontal Sinusitis: Clinical Presentations & Management Strategies

What is chronic frontal sinusitis? Chronic frontal sinusitis is an inflammatory condition of the paranasal sinuses mucosa that persists for 12 weeks or more. Patients often present with headaches between their eyes, nasal congestion or blockage, facial pressure, and drainage.

Choosing a Surgical Navigation System that Fits Your ENT Practice

Surgical navigation systems play a critical role in the safety and efficacy of ENT surgeries. As navigation systems are increasingly integrated into operating rooms and office settings, it is important to consider several factors when choosing one that fits your practice.

Endoscopic Sinus Surgery with Navigation: Preoperative & Intraoperative Applications of Advanced Navigation

Advanced navigation is a technique that uses patients' 3D CT scan images and tracked surgical instruments to help surgeons navigate the sinuses. This advanced tool provides surgeons with enhanced localization, visualization, and orientation, ensuring precision and safety during complex procedures.

How to Perform Balloon Sinuplasty in the Office Setting

With appropriate planning and a few procedural modifications, balloon sinuplasty can successfully float from the OR to the office. Keep reading to learn more about how to perform balloon sinuplasty in the office setting

Balloon Sinuplasty: A Valuable Tool in the ENT Toolbox

Balloon sinuplasty offers a minimally invasive, in-office alternative to functional endoscopic sinus surgery in select cases. Join BackTable ENT to learn about the applications of this common procedure.

Allergic Fungal Rhinosinusitis Treatment: Clearing Out the “Peanut Butter”

Allergic fungal rhinosinusitis (AFRS) is a form of chronic rhinosinusitis that can cause orbital/intracranial spread and distortion of sinonasal anatomy if untreated. Learn more about allergic fungal rhinosinusitis treatment, sinus rinses, and endoscopic sinus surgery.

Evaluating Allergic Fungal Rhinosinusitis (ARFS): Focus on Symptoms & Diagnostic Criteria

Allergic fungal rhinosinusitis (AFRS) is a subset of chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps. Learn more about AFRS symptoms and diagnostic criteria.

Odontogenic Sinusitis Symptoms & Diagnosis

Odontogenic sinusitis is a maxillary sinus disease of dental origin. It presents with unilateral sinusitis symptoms and foul odor. Learn more about the symptoms and diagnosis of odontogenic sinusitis.

Odontogenic Sinusitis Treatment

Odontogenic sinusitis is the result of dental infection spreading to the maxillary sinus. Given the interdisciplinary nature of this disease, a combination of medical, surgical, and dental treatment strategies enable cure in 95% of affected patients.

An otolaryngologist prepares to preform ClariFix, nasal cryotherapy.

Nasal cryotherapy with the Clarifix device uses liquid nitrogen to target the posterior nasal nerve and thus blunt stimuli responsible for chronic sinusitis. Learn more!

An otolaryngologist evaluating options for patients with chronic rhinitis.

Chronic rhinitis is defined as congestion and stuffiness that lasts for more than three months. Learn more about chronic rhinitis treatment and how to evaluate and manage this common condition.
