Abstract

The Present study has been conducted on 25 Patients of chronic Maxillary Sinusitis proved Radiologically and confirmed sinoscopically. After antral Catheterrization for 2– 3 weeks repeated Antral Irrigation with normal Saline solution was done on every alternate day. The patients were followed up for 2 months and it was observed that in 92% cases there was complete recovery while remaining 8% cases (Basal CYST/Mucosal thickening) had partial recovery. Hence this procedure can replace repeated antral punctures and can be advocated as a routine method of treament in cases of chronic maxillary sinusitis not responding to conventional treatment.
