CT Shows Complete Opacification Of Posterior Ethmoid Air Cells. Should I Be Concerned ?
Recently hospitalized for asthma and found all sinuses infected. A 30 day follow up CT scan states there is complete opacification of the posterior ethmoid air cells. Pansinusitis, chronic but improved as compared to prior Ct. What concerns should I have about the posterior ethmoid opacification? What does it mean?

Hi...it means that those cells still have collected secretions in them which are not getting able to drain and may get infected if not properly treated...so kindly continue with your treatment..
