My head mri report says hypoplasia of the right maxillary antrum with mucosal thickening and fluid?

Dr. Michael Gabor answered

Specializes in Diagnostic Radiology

Hypoplasia means: that the sinus is smaller or less developed than normal. This is congenital. Mucosal thickening and fluid are signs of inflammation(sinusitis).
