Why is Mouth Breathing Bad? A Clinical Condition, Not Just A Bad Habit

Chronic mouth breathing is a common issue that can cause many health problems, but it often goes unnoticed by both patients and healthcare providers. Chronic mouth breathing can lead to chronic headaches, poor sleep, teeth clenching and grinding, and even improper facial development if not corrected at a young age.

Chronic Mouth Breathing: Clinical Evaluation & Treatment

Learn how to evaluate and treat chronic mouth breathing. Dr. Colleen Plein explains the connections between chronic mouth breathing, sleep apnea, teeth grinding, and related symptoms, highlighting the importance of comprehensive evaluation and treatment to promote better respiratory health and overall well-being.

Intracranial Complications of Acute Sinusitis: Examination, Treatment & Prevention

Though rare, acute sinusitis can lead to intracranial, intraorbital, or osseous complications. Pediatric otolaryngologist Dr. Amanda Stapleton offers valuable insights on managing these rare but serious conditions in children.

Surgical Management of Acute Sinusitis with Intracranial Complications

Acute sinusitis can cause intracranial or intraorbital complications, sometimes necessitating corrective surgery of the complication in addition to sinus surgery. Dr. Amanda Stapleton shares her approach to management of such cases.

Chronic Invasive Fungal Sinusitis Treatment

Surgical intervention and antifungal medication are two of the primary treatment options for patients with chronic invasive fungal sinusitis (chronic IFS). However, finding the right balance between surgery and medical management can be difficult.

The Many Presentations of Fungal Sinusitis

Fungal Sinusitis is an inflammatory sinus infection caused by the inhalation of certain types of fungus. There are many distinct presentations of fungal sinusitis, including allergic fungal sinusitis (AFS), acute fungal sinusitis, and chronic invasive fungal sinusitis (chronic IFS).

Diagnosing Chronic Invasive Fungal Sinusitis

Diagnosing chronic invasive fungal sinusitis (chronic IFS) can be tough, as patients with this condition tend to have generalizable symptoms, and may not be diagnosed until their condition has worsened to the point of irreversible damage.

Chronic Frontal Sinusitis: Clinical Presentations & Management Strategies

Chronic frontal sinusitis is an inflammatory condition of the paranasal sinuses mucosa that persists for 12 weeks or more. Patients often present with headaches between their eyes, nasal congestion or blockage, facial pressure, and drainage.

Choosing a Surgical Navigation System that Fits Your ENT Practice

Surgical navigation systems play a critical role in the safety and efficacy of ENT surgeries. As navigation systems are increasingly integrated into operating rooms and office settings, it is important to consider several factors when choosing one that fits your practice.

Endoscopic Sinus Surgery with Navigation: Preoperative & Intraoperative Applications of Advanced Navigation

Advanced navigation is a technique that uses patients' 3D CT scan images and tracked surgical instruments to help surgeons navigate the sinuses. This advanced tool provides surgeons with enhanced localization, visualization, and orientation, ensuring precision and safety during complex procedures.

Internal vs External Nasal Valve Collapse

Internal or external nasal valve collapse can impair breathing and quality of life. Understanding anatomy, function, symptoms, and risk factors is paramount in managing nasal valve collapse effectively.

Nasal Valve Repair: Surgery Techniques & Post-Operative Management

Nasal valve repair surgery restores airflow in patients with obstructions. The process involves evaluating nasal anatomy, selecting appropriate techniques, and using robust cartilage grafts. Learn more!

How to Perform Balloon Sinuplasty in the Office Setting

With appropriate planning and a few procedural modifications, balloon sinuplasty can successfully float from the OR to the office. Keep reading to learn more about how to perform balloon sinuplasty in the office setting

Allergic Fungal Rhinosinusitis Treatment: Clearing Out the “Peanut Butter”

Allergic fungal rhinosinusitis (AFRS) is a form of chronic rhinosinusitis that can cause orbital/intracranial spread and distortion of sinonasal anatomy if untreated. Learn more about allergic fungal rhinosinusitis treatment, sinus rinses, and endoscopic sinus surgery.

Evaluating Allergic Fungal Rhinosinusitis (ARFS): Focus on Symptoms & Diagnostic Criteria

Allergic fungal rhinosinusitis (AFRS) is a subset of chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps. Learn more about AFRS symptoms and diagnostic criteria.

Odontogenic Sinusitis Symptoms & Diagnosis

Odontogenic sinusitis is a maxillary sinus disease of dental origin. It presents with unilateral sinusitis symptoms and foul odor. Learn more about the symptoms and diagnosis of odontogenic sinusitis.

Odontogenic Sinusitis Treatment

Odontogenic sinusitis is the result of dental infection spreading to the maxillary sinus. Given the interdisciplinary nature of this disease, a combination of medical, surgical, and dental treatment strategies enable cure in 95% of affected patients.

Diagnosing Loss of Smell: Medical History, Testing & Imaging

Loss of smell can arise from many different etiologies, including post-viral, traumatic, and vascular. Clinicians who treat patients with smell loss shouldn’t miss this high-yield article, which reviews causes and workup of smell loss.

Olfactory retraining is an underutilized tool for patients with loss of smell.

When considering treatment for loss of smell, it can be difficult to identify evidence-based interventions that provide the best chance of helping patients regain olfactory function. Join BackTable ENT and leading expert in olfactory disorders, Dr. Zara Patel, to review current and emerging therapies for loss of smell, including smell retraining therapy, nutritional supplements, and platelet-rich plasma therapy.

Causes for olfactory dysfunction include viral infection, trauma, and toxic medications.

Olfactory dysfunction encompasses disturbances in smell, ranging from smell distortion to anosmia (total loss of smell). Learn what olfactory dysfunction is, testing, symptoms, and causes in this article.
