- Abstract:
- In the second part of this paper the findings of electron microscopical studies on ultrastructural changes of the cilia of the ethmoidal mucous membrane in patients with mycotic chronic sinusitis are presented. Many pathological variations of the normal 9 + 2 pattern can be demonstrated, along with compound cilia and central axis deviation beyond 25 degrees. This together with the endoscopical and lightmicroscopical findings results in conditions which are different from those in acute sinusitis. It may as well explain, why hardly a conservative therapy--aiming mostly for vasoconstriction and decrease of mucosal edema--is successful in chronic sinusitis. Endoscopical surgery of the diseased anterior ethmoid in most of the cases brings along cure of the dependent frontal and maxillary sinuses as well.
