aerosinusitis
aerosinusitis[‚e·rō‚sī·nə′sīd·əs] (medicine) barosinusitis aerosinusitisAn inflammatory reaction of one or more of the accessory nasal sinuses, resulting from a difference in pressure between the gas in the sinus and the surrounding atmosphere. Also called sinus barotraumas.aerosinusitis
barosinusitis [bar″o-si″nŭ-si´tis] a symptom complex due to differences in environmental atmospheric pressure and the air pressure in the paranasal sinuses.bar·o·si·nus·i·tis (bar'ō-sī'nus-ī'tis), Inflammation of the mucous membrane of the paranasal sinuses caused by pressure difference within the sinus relative to ambient pressure, secondary to obstruction of the sinus ostium and occurring during descent in altitude. Synonym(s): aerosinusitis [G. baros, weight, pressure, + sinusitis] aerosinusitis Painful inflammation of the sinuses, especially the frontal sinuses, which may be accompanied by bleeding and may be preceded by an upper respiratory tract infection or acute exacerbation of allergies. It occurs in divers and pilots and is due to non-equilibration of internal (within the sinuses) and external (atmospheric) pressure, and may affect the fifth cranial and infraorbital nerves.aer·o·si·nus·i·tis (ār'ō-sī'nŭ-sī'tis) Inflammation of the paranasal sinuses caused by pressure differences within the sinus relative to ambient pressure, secondary to obstruction of the sinus orifice, sometimes due to high altitude flying or by descent from high altitude.
