caden's ct report

[Guest guest]

Hi Yall!

Yea, we are from KY incase you missed that one! haha

Anyway,

I want to share with you some of what Caden's CT report says to see if any of

you relate.

******************************************************************

Frontal sinuses are not yet pneumatized, normal for age. Frontal and ethmoid

sinuses appear normal. There is a small polyp (9x5mm) protruding from the

superior wall of the left maxillary sinus. There is mucosal thickening in the

inferior right maxillary sinus measuring up to 4mm in thickness.

Maxillary ostia appear to be _______ to the soft tissues although these

structures are very small in patients of this age and anatomic delineation is

difficult.

There is thickening of the mucosa of the left middle and inferior turbinates.

This can be part of the normal nasal cycle although the thickening mucosa on the

left inferior turbinate appears to cause partial blockage of the nasal passage.

A septal deviation is not seen.

Impression: Right maxillary sinusitis and left maxillary sinus polyp

********************************************************************

I don't know what the ______ represents in the dictation.

This was actually a preliminary report that was sent to my son's allergist and

the dr at the hosp. hasn't yet signed off on it. I had the allergy clinic fax me

a copy.

Maybe the _____ will be filled in by the dr.. who knows.

Does this sound familiar to anyone and is 4mm in thickness very thick?

Thanks so much,
