barosinusitis
barosinusitis[¦bar·ō‚sī·nə′sīd·əs] (medicine) Inflammation of the sinuses, characterized by edema and hemorrhage, due to expansion of air within the sinuses at decreased barometric pressure. Also known as aerosinusitis. barosinusitisA condition associated with pain in and around the sinuses, resulting from pressure differences between sinus tissues and ambient air. It is typically more pronounced during descent.barosinusitis
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.air travel disease Travel medicine Any condition related to the unique conditions of air travel Infections The potential for infection by an airborne pathogen from another inmate in the confined quarters of commercial flights is understudied.

. 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.
Synonym(s): barosinusitis. barosinusitis Sinus inflammation with symptoms induced by changes in atmospheric pressure. Also called sinus barotrauma. |
