  • Sinus Care

  • Sinus blockages usually cause sinusitis—a condition where sinuses are swollen or clogged and lead to pain and breathing difficulties.

  • Sinusitis is inflammation of the lining of the sinuses and mainly causes pain and excess mucus production.

  • Most patients with sinusitis often get better with antibiotics nose drops, sprays, or tablets. However, severe cases might require endoscopic sinus surgery, a minimally invasive, incision-free surgery.

  • These are benign tissue growths in the nasal and sinus lining and are often found in clusters. Its development is associated with chronic rhinosinusitis (inflammation of nasal passages and sinuses for more than 12 weeks).

It is often a symptom of an underlying disorder. Symptoms include:

  • Nasal voice
  • Nasal drainage
  • Breathing through the mouth most of the time
  • Recurrent sinus infections

  • Rhinitis

    Inflammation of the mucous membrane inside the nose and causes itching, sneezing, runny nose, and nasal congestion.

  • Aspirin- Exacerbated Respiratory Disease (AERD)

    Also known as Samter's triad, it has three features: asthma, recurring nasal polyps, and sensitivity to aspirin and some other drugs.

  • Septal Deviation

    The nasal septum can be deviated further causing breathing difficulties and nasal discharge. It may be due to congenital factors, injury, or previous treatments. Septal Surgery may be required if there are persistent symptoms.

    Symptoms include:

    • Trouble breathing through the nose
    • Often worse on one side
    • Recurrent sinus infections due to impaired drainage.

  • Nasal Tumors

    • Paranasal sinus tumors
    • Nasal and sinus cancer
    • Neoplasms

  • Skull Base Tumors

    Common skull base tumor types seen by our team include meningiomas, olfactory neuroblastoma, craniopharyngioma, and acoustic neuroma.

  • Cerebrospinal Fluid (CSF) Leak

    Cerebrospinal Fluid (CSF) is a colorless liquid that cushions the brain and spinal cord and can leak when fluid escapes due to tears or holes in the membranes surrounding these structures.
