Acute ethmoidosphenoiditis is an acute non-specific inflammation of the mucous membrane of the posterior cells of the ethmoid bone and sphenoid sinus, which occurs either primarily on the basis of acute banal or influenza rhinitis, or as a consequence (very rarely) of acute transient inflammation of the anterior paranasal sinuses. Mostly adults are affected.
Acute frontal sinusitis is characterized by acute inflammation of the mucous membrane of the frontal sinus, which goes through the same stages (catarrhal, exudative, purulent) that are characteristic of other sinusitis.
Acute rhinoethmoiditis has another name - acute anterior ethmoidal rhinosinusitis, reflecting the anatomical localization of the inflammatory process of a rhinogenic nature, affecting the anterior cells of the ethmoid bone.
Acute sinusitis is an acute inflammation of mainly the mucous membrane and submucous layer of the maxillary sinus, sometimes spreading to the periosteum and, in rare cases, with a particularly virulent infection, to the bone tissue with transition to a chronic form.
Diseases of the paranasal sinuses account for more than 1/3 of all pathological conditions of the ENT organs. If we take into account that most of these diseases are accompanied by diseases of the nose, which either precede diseases of the paranasal sinuses and serve as their cause, or are their consequence, then their number increases significantly
Almost all healthy people have some deviations of the nasal septum, which, however, do not cause them any discomfort. Only those curvatures of the nasal septum that interfere with normal nasal breathing and entail some diseases of the nose, paranasal sinuses and ears are pathological. Deformations of the nasal septum can be extremely diverse
Meningocele is a type of pathological condition that refers to anterior cerebral hernias caused by a congenital deficiency of bone tissue in the area of the bottom of the anterior cranial fossa during embryonic development under the influence of certain external (infection) and internal (genetic) causes, resulting in a delay in the closure of the proto-vertebral medullary plates.
Atresia and narrowing of the nasal passages can be congenital or acquired. In the latter case, they can be caused by inflammatory-purulent diseases of a non-specific and specific nature, ending in a scarring process with the formation of synechia or total cicatricial membranes, completely excluding one or both halves of the nose from the respiratory process.
The nasal pyramid is the most prominent part of the face, playing, along with other main identifying external organs of the head (eyes, mouth, ears), the most important cosmetic role in the beauty of a person's individual physiognomic image.
Noma (cancrum oris) is a disease in which, as a result of necrosis, extensive defects of the soft and bone tissues of the orofacial region arise - a kind of wet gangrene, currently found almost exclusively in underdeveloped and developing countries.
