Computed Tomography Signs of Sinonasal Inflammation in Patients with Acute Dacryocystitis

Background Nasal and paranasal sinus abnormalities may be related to nasolacrimal duct obstructive disease but are strongly debated. Data of acute disease stage are lacking. Objective The purpose of this study was to determine if there are correlations between radiologic signs of sinus inflammation...

Description
Summary:Background Nasal and paranasal sinus abnormalities may be related to nasolacrimal duct obstructive disease but are strongly debated. Data of acute disease stage are lacking. Objective The purpose of this study was to determine if there are correlations between radiologic signs of sinus inflammation and acute dacryocystitis (AD). Methods This cross-sectional controlled study was conducted at Wenzhou, Zhejiang Province, China from February 2021 to November 2023. Forty-four consecutive patients with AD and 50 consecutive patients with orbital tumors (the control group), who completed preoperative computed tomography scans, were enrolled to evaluate the extent of their inflammatory sinonasal disease by the modified Lund-Mackay score system. Results The inflammation signs of the paranasal sinuses (total mean sinus scores, 95% CI [0.00, 2.00]; P
