hi
i think this is the ct scan findings of the sinus ct scan which you have done.
in this scan you have some abnormalities seen in maxillary sinus which might be causing sinusitis and also there might be blockade in nose.
what i feel is if you can post the films of the ct scan a better understanding of the scan can be obtained.
but primafacie it is not very serious but might require some intervention.
