What Is A Sinus Infection Symptoms:

What Is A Sinus Infection Symptoms For sinusitis means an acute or chronic inflammatory process (if it lasts more than six months) affecting one or more sinuses. 
 These are “hollow” dug into the skeleton of the skull in communication, through a complex system of small canaliculi, the nasal 
 (maxillary sinuses, frontal, ethmoid, sphenoid). 
 
 According to the infective agent responsible (etiology), are distinguished:
• Bacterial sinusitis
• viral sinusitis
• fungal sinusitis (fungal)

According to the cause (pathogenesis) are distinguished:
• Causes nasal
• Causes hematogenous
• Causes odontogenous
• Causes traumatic
• Causes barotrbumatiche
• 
 
Causes nasal
The infection spreads to the sinuses through the system of canals that connect them to the nasal passages.
The lumen of these structures is to reduce inflammation and can lead to stagnation of secretions within the sinuses that subsequently become infected.

The condition can occur for:
• nasal infections,
• allergy
• deviation of nasal septum
• turbinate hypertrophy
• penetration of foreign substances in the breasts
causes hematogenous transmission of germs to the sinuses through the blood during infectious diseases of type:
viral (rhinitis, flu, measles, chicken pox)
bacterial (scarlet fever)
Cases odontogenous
Transmission of the maxillary sinuses following:
tooth extraction
techniques, endodontics (root canal)
Implant
Traumatic causes
Consequence of the massive facial trauma, with or without fractures, in which case a payment of blood within the sinus cavities (emoseno), which subsequently become infected.
Cases barotrbumatiche 
 consequence of rapid changes in pressure faced by certain categories of workers and athletes (divers, aviators, swimmers, divers). Within the breasts is a stagnation of secretion that subsequently become infected.

SYMPTOMATOLOGY
Depending on the duration of infection are distinguished:

Forms of acute viral and bacterial origin are almost always affect the entire system of the paranasal cavities. They will prevail in the abrupt onset infectious symptoms and characteristics of extreme violence: severe pain in the head, block purulent nasal drainage of mucus and fever.

Subacute and chronic forms: they are normally only affected some sinus cavities and hence the symptoms, usually less violent, depending on the affected breast.
The patient is frequently cold, not breathing well, not perfectly perceive odors and has occasional periods of drainage of mucus from the nose.
Outweigh the pain localized in the skull:
• sottoorbitaria (under eyes) in maxillary sinusitis;
• the root of the nose in the ethmoid sinuses;
• frontal sinusitis in the forehead;
• behind the eyes and vertex forms sphenoid.
