my mri report shows that there is mild mucosal  thickening in bilateral maxillary sinus. what does it mean and what should i do for it ?

Accepted Answer

Mild sinusitis: This is a common finding on MRI.  It usually is of no importance unless you have sinus headaches, or an active sinus infection.  You can try using non-sedative antihistamines or steroid nasal sprays if allergies are a problem. For a more natural alternative you may use a Neti pot to break up the mucus. If you have no symptoms, then don't worry about it much.

Accepted Answer

: You have not indicated what the MRI would study/what doctor you are seeing and what the question is about. Old studies are a snapshot in time at the time they were done. New studies are a snapshot of what is going on in the present. Without more information and a clear indication of the problem nothing more can be offered. You are welcome to start over.

Question 10

what's this mean from mri rpt. vasculature: maj vasc. flow voids at the skull base are present and paranasal sinuses: min.mucosal inflammatory disease involving the 
left maxillary sinus.

Accepted Answer

MRI report: "Flow voids" signify normal flow through the blood vessels. Minimal mucosal disease signifies very slight sinusitis.  This is a common incidental finding, there may be no associated symptoms and therefore no treatment necessary.
