Sinuses are cave-like formations in our facial skeleton that exchange air with the nasal cavity. When microorganisms manage to multiply in them, it is called sinusitis. It is an infectious disease and is treated with a combination of medications, with anti-infective drugs taking the lead.
If sinusitis does not improve despite medication, it is often due to structural defects that prevent the sinuses from getting enough air from the nasal cavity. In this case, sinus surgery to correct the defective anatomy provides a complete and permanent solution.
