Ct says "frothy secretion is present which is not layering dependently in the right sphenoid sinus. the appearance would be more consistent with sinus disease than blood products. what does this mean?

Sinus Disease: It sounds like it is describing infection as opposed to blood . Only way to tell it is PUS is to take a sample of these secretions in your sinuses & put under the microscope . NL sinuses on CT should look black full of air
