Could Mucosal Thickening Of The Frontal As Shown On MRI Is The Cause Of Chronic Sinusitis?

I have recently gone through another battery of tests (also in 2007 with no findings) to diagnose MS. The MRI showed no signs of lesions in my brain or spine, but did show a slight mucosal thickening of the frontal, ethmoid and maxillary sinus indicative of chronic sinusitis. Could this cause MS like symptoms, such as poor balance, coordination difficulty, visual perception, loud ringing helicopter noises in the ears and muscle weakness?

Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
You have already gone through MRI and it suggest thickening vof mucosal fold. It is dur to chronic sinusitis. You should take antibiotics and antihistaminic drugs to treat chronic sinusitis.

Your symptoms of poor balance, coordination problems, visual problems are not related with chronic sinusitis. You may have some other cause for that. Consult your doctor and gofor examination for that.

Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health.
