Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Sinusitis / May 2008New pituitary MRI had comment on my maxillary sinus
As I posted last year, a very nice ENT with a specialty in FESS refused to consider surgery on me despite my symptoms of chronic sinusitis and the fact that I correctly pointed to the one spot that was abnormal on my last C-T, my frontal sinus as the one having pain; it had mucosal thickening. The radiologist commenting on my new pit MRI noted that there is slight mucosal thickening of my right maxillary sinus, too. I'd mentioned this to the ENT as the only other sore one I get when I have a cold. Now it's been sore for no reason the past week or two. The ENT felt that except for the mucosal thickening, my C-T represented a liability problem for him if he operated on me with an otherwise clean C-T scan. For most folks, this is sickening, for me, with pituitary/adrenal disorder, it throws me into adrenal insufficiency states constantly, to the point that I have to stress dose with hydrocortisone for things like dental appointments so I don't get dizzy, faint or have severe back spasms. What a world. Oh, yeah, there are subcortical punctate white matter hyperintensities all over.

I wish I could get you a good reference to document that--I'll look for it. Also, the white matter stuff, shows up all the time, it's usually attributed to migraine--or lyme.

In the past, I've had an abnormal SPECT scan consistent with Lyme. Judy, my thickening sites noted on MRI and C-T are exactly the spots that are sore. My right maxillary started hurting last week, the frontal is always draining. Susan > That mucosal thickening is the biofilm Dear. My thought, exactly. > They should be able to use something like radio frequency ablation to > debride and steralize the surface. Then you will need to keep it from > recolonized until it heals. I can't get anyone to even consider going in there. I got a new name off of ratemds.com, so I'll try him. Or maybe bring that C-T article with me to my inf. diseases doc and ask him to advocate for me. It's eating up all my cortisol, and I'm needing to stress dose with Cortef, like just to have an MRI, something that's never bothered me before. Susan |
