Dental infections and maxillary sinusitis are the main causes of osteomyelitis. Osteomyelitis can occur in all age groups, and is more frequently found in the lower jaw than in the upper jaw. Systemic conditions that can alter the patient's resistance to infection including diabetes mellitus, anemia, and autoimmune disorders are predisposing factors for osteomyelitis. We report a case of uncommon broad maxillary osteonecrosis precipitated by uncontrolled type 2 diabetes mellitus and chronic maxillary sinusitis in a female patient in her seventies with no history of bisphosphonate or radiation treatment.

Non-odontogenic toothaches are frequently present and can be challenge to the dental clinician. A 41-year-old male patient with sharp and spontaneous pain on the right maxillary posterior dentition, which developed as like localized toothache 3 months ago, was finally treated with endoscope assisted sinus surgery on right maxillary sinus. Although the initial clinical characteristics are similar to odontogenic toothache in this patient, previous several treatment with the affected teeth did not alleviate the pain. Sinusitis around the facial structure is one of the common causes to make referred pain to maximally teeth and the sinus toothache resembles the pulpal or the periodontal toothache. The clinician should be well aware of various causes of the non-odontogenic toothache and be able to differentiate them.

A 11-year-old gelding Thoroughbred horse was presented with a history of unilateral nasal discharge of right side. The horse was diagnosed as maxillary sinusitis based on blood examination and radiography. The horse was treated with bone flap of right maxillary sinuses. Abscess of maxillary sinus was drained and irrigated with antibiotic-saline and povidone iodine solution. After surgical procedure, nebulization and medication applied by the result of antibiotic sensitivity test. After treatment for two weeks, the patient was recovered completely.

Treatment techniques that affect homeostasis by non-invasive regulation in peripheral organs will advance disease research. Here, we demonstrate a non-invasive method of conditioning within an organ using a low-frequency stimulator superposition of alternating microcurrent wave in stages. It is first applied to the inflammatory response in H3N2-infected sinusitis mice. To check the progress of the treatment, mice were sacrificed every week for 3 weeks, nasal tissue was removed, and the inflammatory response was investigated through H & E staining. The low-frequency stimulation treatment group was found to alleviate the proliferation of epithelial cells and invasion of inflammatory cells compared to the control group as the passage of treatment time. The reduction of inflammatory cytokines in the nasal lavage fluid was observed in H3N2-infected sinusitis mice treated with of low-frequency stimulation using superposition of alternating microcurrent wave compared to H3N2-infected sinusitis mice after 3 weeks. These data demonstrate that low-frequency stimulation device in the form of using alternating current wave superposition on within organs provides a new method to regulate specific physiological functions. Therefore, it is necessary to prove the inhibitory effect of low-frequency stimulation using alternating current wave superposition on inflammatory diseases by various methods through further studies and clinical studies.

This is a case report of chronic maxillary sinusitis caused by root canal overfilling of Calcipex II (Techno-Dent). A 60 year-old male complained of dull pain in the right maxillary molar area after complicated endodontic treatment using Calcipex II paste and was finally diagnosed with a chronic maxillary sinusitis through a clinical and radiological observation. In the biopsy examination, the periapical granuloma contained a lot of dark and translucent Calcipex II granules which were not stained with hematoxylin and eosin. They were usually engulfed by macrophages but rarely resorbed, resulting in scattering and migrating into antral mucosa. Most of the Calcipex II granules were also accumulated in the cytoplasms of secretory columnar epithelial cells, and small amount of Calcipex II granules were gradually secreted into sinus lumen by exocytosis. However, chronic granulomatous inflammation occurred without the additional recruitment of polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNs) and lymphocytes, and many macrophages which engulfed the Calcipex II granules were finally destroyed in the processes of cellular apoptosis. It is presumed that Calcipex II granules are likely to have a causative role to induce the granulomatous foreign body inflammation in the periapical region, and subsequently to exacerbate the chronic maxillary sinusitis in this study.

This case report describes our treatment of a persistent periantral abscess in a 35-year-old woman. The abscess developed following a zygoma-reduction surgery, during which a preexisting fungal ball had not been addressed. Our comprehensive treatment approach included functional endoscopic sinus surgery, fungal ball removal, abscess drainage, and debridement. Two weeks postoperatively, the patient's symptoms had resolved. A 6-month postoperative follow-up revealed no signs of recurrence or complications, and the patient reported satisfactory functional and aesthetic results. This case underscores the importance of thorough preoperative evaluations and raises awareness about the potential risks of untreated asymptomatic pathologies, which can potentially progress and lead to further complications.

Objective : This study was performed to investigate the prevalence of otolaryngology and respiratory diseases and characteristics of the outpatients who had visited Chuncheon oriental medical hospital which located in Gangwon province with the diseases. Methods : We analyzed data from 627 patients, who had visited to the Department of ophthalmology & otolaryngology & dermatology of Chuncheon oriental medical hospital from November 1st, 2007 to May 31th, 2010. The data were analyzed and demonstrated by age, gender, season, period between the onset of disease and the first examination, times of treatment, and treatment methods. Results : The results of this study are summarized as follows. 1. Among the 627 outpatients, male patients outnumbered female patients, and the most frequent age group was 0-10 year-old group(24.9%) and it is followed by 31-40 and 41-50 year-old groups. The majority of outpatients, 79.7% of them were from Chuncheon, and Hongcheon and Gapyeong residents were respectively 4.7% and 3.8% of the patients. 2. The shares of outpatients by department were 47.4% in Rhinology disease, 29.8% in respiratory disease, 14.5% in Otology disease, and 8.3% in Laryngology disease. The seasons with the most frequent prevalence by department were spring and winter for otology group, autumn and spring for rhinology group, summer and spring for laryngology group, and winter and spring for respiratory disease group. Overall, most outpatients had visited the hospital for 1-5 times or 6-10 times. Acupuncture and herbal medicine were the most frequent treatment methods that these patients received. 3. The most prevalent diseases were rhinitis, common cold, tinnitus, and sinusitis. The most frequently visited age groups for tinnitus and hearing loss were 41-50 and 51-60 year-old groups, and for rhinitis and sinusitis 0-10 and 11-20 year-old groups. Irritation in larynx was almost evenly prevalent among 31-40, 41-50 and 51-60 age groups. Regarding the period between the onset of disease and the first medical examination, outpatients with tinnitus, rhinitis, sinusitis, and irritation in larynx came to the hospital after one year since the onset and outpatients with common cold first visited the hospital within one week since the onset of disease. Conclusions : This study shows that the most frequent diseases were rhinitis, common cold, sinusitis, tinnitus, and cough. In order to do better treatment for these diseases in the future, there is a need to investigate long-term, multifaceted studies, connected studies with other hospital in Gangwon province.

E. N. T. Clinic에 내원하는 환자중 nasal symptoms을 호소하는 환자의 높은 비율에서 알레르기 질환이 있는 것을 느끼게 되며 특히 nasal cavity내에 오는 질환의 원인 중 알레르기가 놀라울 정도로 많은 것을 생각하면 이비인후과 영역에서의 알레르기에 대한 관심도 높다고 하겠읍니다. 일반적으로 비용증, 만성비염. 만성부비동염의 치료 방법으로는 약물요법과 수술요법을 병행하여 시행하는데 치료후 증상이 호전되다가 다시 계속적인 치료전의 증상이 재발되는 경우를 흔히 경험하게 된다. 특히 비용증 환자의 치료에서는 높은율의 재발을 경험하게 되는데 nasal symptoms을 일으키는 질환의 많은 원인이 allergy 라는데 착안하여 allegy symptoms은 호소하지 않았으나 비용증을 동반한 만성부비동염 환자에 수술 및 일반치료를 시행하였으나 얼마후 증상이 재현되어 Rinkels technique의 allergy test를 시행 하였다. 특정한 allergen에 양성을 보이지는 않았으나 일반적으로 nasal allergy의 많은 원인이 되는 House dust와 Mold groups의 allergen을 이용 (#2 ∼ #3 Solution)하여 계속적인 Desensitization을 시행함으로서 근치에 가까운 효과를 얻었기에 문헌고찰과 함께 보고하는 바이며 이러한 환자들에게 계속적인 allergy test상 양성반응을 보이지 않더라도 위의 방법을 적용하여 치료한 결과를 추후 발표드릴 것을 약속드립니다.
