Balloon sinuplasty in acute frontal sinusitis

Abstract: Balloon sinuplasty has been licensed for the treatment of chronic rhinosinusitis since 2006. Balloon dilation enlarges the sinus ostium by effecting tiny fractures of the surrounding bone and compressing soft tissue such that no mucosa is removed. We believe this to be the ideal technique for achieving drainage of an acutely infected frontal sinus when surgical intervention is required. We report the application of this new technique in a 32-year-old female with acute frontal sinusitis. The frontal sinus was s… Show more

“…Die Empfehlung einer routinemäßigen Anwendung und Begründung der BD anstelle der oben skizzierten endoskopischen Nasennebenhöhlenchirurgie lässt sich nach den bisher vorliegenden wissenschaftlichen Daten nicht rechtfertigen. Als allgemeiner Konsens kann gelten, dass die Ballondilatation in speziellen Fällen (Aerosinusitis, isolierte Sinusitis einzelner Nasennebenhöhlen, Intensivpatienten, "einfache" Revisionssituationen aufgrund umschriebener segelförmiger Narbenbildung), und insbesondere bei Stirnhöhlenerkrankungen indiziert sein kann [1067,1116,1132,1136]. Der konkrete Stellenwert der BD in der chirurgischen Therapie der CRS ist unklar.…”

“…Accessing the frontal sinus in an acutely infected field is of significantly greater difficulty than in the setting of chronic inflammation. To date, seven patients have been reported in the adult population with successful management of acute frontal sinusitis with balloon sinus dilation . One case report has previously been published reporting the use of balloon sinus dilation in pediatric acute frontal sinusitis complicated by intracranial abscess …”
