A member asked:
What does: mild mucosal thickening of the left maxillary sinus. opacification right mastoid air cell on an mri mean?? can this be sinus infection? i have headaches and stuffy/runny nose occasionally. does this need to be treated with antibiotics?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
The mastoid air cells are behind/below the ear on that side and suggest fluid or infection. Mild mucosal thickening of the maxillary sinus suggests allergy or a viral process affecting that area. You need to discuss these findings with the doc who has your full history and can interpret the findings in that context.
