5/10/2023 0 Comments Frontal sinus obliterationI also read about another person who had both a week before.very interesting. A little girl I followed (Haley Palmer) had both. I was told that if I developed a mucocele? I would have to have it removed promptly bc it can infect the bone? Have you heard this? Is there a reason you have not have yours fixed? I am just very interested in your experience.Īnd Dave, I hope this last surgery will keep you from the frontal oblit.sounds like it has helped so far.įinally, Finona, so weird you say PID and CF are sometimes seen together. I am so sorry Pepper that you have had such a terrible experience. Of course, I learned that prior to the surgery (that day) my ENT was scared ****less that it wouldn't work and that i would have issues bc i was out for so long (4.5 hours) and the bone was infected. Personally, i have never been happier with my decision.or his. I have had no problems and it changed the course of my sinus disease, but clearly, this approach has not worked for everyone. Once an infection that bad is in bone that close to the brain, there is no other option. But, my sinus disease was so bad the last CT scan showed the infection was eating my bone in my forehead. My small sinus surgery that was to drill small holes into my frontl sinuses that was supposed to last 30 to 45 minutes lasted 3 hours and 45 minutes bc I almost bled out from sinus surgery.that is surgery where they never even cut me.Īfter that experience my doc did everything to keep me from more surgery bc he was scared about my blood loss. I also experienced severe bleeding episode during surgery (my one right before the frontal oblit) that was caused by my high doses of advil on top of a hereditary bleeding issue on top of low vit k. He was concerned about more surgeries bc the bone in my nose was thinning due to all of the surgeries and infection. My doc actually felt like the frontal oblit would put an end to my surgeries. ![]() My doctor told me that those with frontal sinuses and cf do experience much more sinus disease. Wow, sounds like everyone here with fontal sinuses have A LOT of problems from them.very interesting. Just make sure you cover all options with your ENT before making a decision. I wish you well with whatever choice is made. Either way you look at it, I'm glad he chose this option and kept me from the total oblit for now. No problems with vision or movement, just pain. The surgery (surgeries) have caused nerve damage in the corner of my left eye. I have to tell you, he is the best ENT I've ever had. This would allow a larger single opening that should remain open longer and easier. After MRI's and CT's etc., he said we would remove a section of skull that divided the left and right openings to my frontal sinuses. He said it is a last resort and one he will avoid at any cost. ![]() The second of these last three my ENT brought up the topic of a Total Frontal Sinus Obliteration. I have CF and have had a total of 15 sinus surgeries (3 in the last 2 years).
