Hi doctors. what does this mean please? on mri of brain. near complete opacification of left frontal sinus, with several contiguous opacified left anterior ethmoid air cells. there is mucosal thickening with central proteinaceous secretions?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
These findings signify that you've had sinus infections/inflammation. There's scarring and it's likely that mucus is clogging sinus cavities. You may require aggressive measures to promote drainage of this mucus including steam inhalations or even surgical drainage depending upon symptoms. Your ENT specialist can advise you best.
