A member asked:
Mri: mild opacification of the inferior left maxillary & right sphenoid sinuses. a mild opacification is seen in the inferior right mastoid air cells?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
If no symptoms....: Probably nothing to worry about. Many patients have some mucosal thickening or a small amount of fluid in 1 or more of the sinuses or mastoid air cells. However, if there is pressure, pain or tenderness over the sinuses or around/behind an ear, a fever or foul smelling, bloody or purulent nasal secretions, a sinus infection or mastoiditis is a concern. Please see your doctor.
