Hello,
* The mild thickening of ethmoid air cells indicate possible issue with chronic inflammation via recurrent allergic congestion of the ethmoid sinus most likely.
However, a co relation with underlying symptoms, clinical findings and MRI plates are mandatory for further discussion.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
