Answered by Dr. Pramod Bhor
After looking at your CT scan results, it seems like you've got a mucus retention cyst in your left maxillary sinus and some mild inflammation in your ethmoid sinuses. These things can happen when your sinuses get a bit blocked, causing mucus to build up and form cysts. It's quite common, nothing to worry too much about. To help ease the symptoms, you can try using a saline nasal spray to keep things clear. If you're having trouble with congestion or pain, over-the-counter decongestants or pain relievers can be helpful. It might be a good idea to follow up with your orthopedist just to keep an eye on things and see if any further treatment is needed.
