Abstract

A 36-year-old man was referred to our rhinology service from the maxillo-facial team, complaining of persistent left maxillary discomfort and upper jaw pain for the last 13 months. There was no local dental or temporomandibular joint cause to explain the unusual discomfort. He denied nasal symptoms, including nasal infections, trauma, previous surgery or signs of allergic rhinitis. Nasendoscopy revealed normal mucosa, with mild ipsilateral congestion of middle meatus. The CT scan assessment showed slight mucosa thickness of left maxillary sinus with ipsilateral opacification of the osteomeatal complex. After the failure of medical treatment, a discussion took place regarding the surgical options. Since the disease was isolated and confined to one sinus, we offered FESS or balloon sinuplasty and the patient opted for the second approach. The balloon sinuplasty was performed under sedation; the patient was discharged on the same day and had an uneventful postoperative recovery.
