This is a coronal fat-saturated T2 MRI image of an inflamed right side ethmoid sinus. The arrow points to the inflamed area of interest. When viewing radiology images the right side is always on the left for the person viewing the image, and the left side is on the right, as I said, the arrow is pointing to the right ethmoid sinus which is full of fluid. Fluid shows up bright on T2 weighted MRI images. The left side ethmoid sinus air cells are clear and show up black and empty.
There are several paranasal sinuses.
The ethmoid sinuses can cause pain and or pressure behind and between the eyes.
The maxillary sinuses can cause pressure in the cheek area and cause headaches or toothaches.
The Frontal sinuses can cause headaches and pain above and behind the eyes.
The sphenoid sinuses can cause dizziness and an imbalance of a persons equilibrium.
Some symptoms are, nasal congestion, fever, nasal discharge, vertigo, headache, lightheadedness, halitosis, and blurred vision.
