The ethmoid sinus in the skull: modern views

Abstract

Inflammatory diseases of the paranasal sinuses (SNPs) are one of the most urgent problems of otorhinolaryngology. The number of patients with inflammatory diseases of the UNP remains high in our country and abroad, despite the development and introduction of new advanced methods of treatment. From 15to 36% of patients with sinusitis are treated in the ENT departments. Over the last two decades the SNPs diseases increased more than 10 times in Russia. Therefore the diagnosis and treatment of sinusitis is an actual problem of modern otorhinolaryngology. It is necessary to develop effective, reliable and non-invasive diagnostic methods of sinusitis.
