25
Sinusitis
Other than dental, most important cases Enlargement, infected sinus with a large amount of exudate (pus) Fix: trephination and bone flap
26
Paranasal sinuses
Gas filled cavities between the internal and external plates of the flat bones that comprise the skull Diverticula, lined by ciliated glandular epithelium
27
What is the function of the sinuses?
Reduce the weight of the skull and provide expanded spaces for the teeth
28
What are the 3 paranasal sinuses?
Conchofrontal Maxillary (rostral and caudal) Sphenopalatine
29
What does the CAUDAL DORSAL concha communicates with and what does it form?
Communicates with the frontal sinus to form the conchofrontal sinus
30
What does the CAUDAL VENTRAL concha communicates with the what is it over?
With rostral maxillary sinus over the infraorbital canal
31
What does the CAUDAL MAXILLARY sinus communicate with?
Dorsally with the conchofrontal sinus and caudally with the sphenopalatine sinus
32
Where do the sinuses drain?
Into the nasal cavity via the nasomaxillary fissure then passes to the middle nasal meatus
33
How are the rostral and caudal portions of the maxillary sinus separated?
Bony septum located 5 cm caudal to the rostral end of the facial crest
34
What are the borders for the maxillary sinus
Cr: rostral end of the facial crest to the infraorbital foramen Cd: Rostral part of the bony orbit of the eye Ventral: Facial crest Dorsal: Infraorbital foramen to medial canthus of the eye
35
Why is the dorsal border of the maxillary sinus important?
Surgical access Border covers the infraorbital canal (nerve) and nasolacrimal duct Don't want to injure, so you go below the border
36
Molar roots
Roots of the last 3 cheek teeth are in maxillary sinus As a surgeon: use the borders to access a tooth abscess or remove a tooth PM4 partially located in the rostral maxillary sinus
37
Sphenopalatine sinus location
Cd to ethmoidal concha Dor to guttural pouches and nasopharynx Cr to physis between the basisphenoid and basioccipital bones
38
Clin. Sig. of the Sphenopalatine sinus
Young animal gets an infection --> infection goes through the bone plate and to the brain --> neurological signs
39
How does the Sphenopalatine sinus drain?
Rostrally into the caudal maxillary sinus --> nasal cavity via the middle nasal meatus
40
How do you get into the nasal sinuses?
Trephination (making an opening) Bone Flap (cutting skin around the bone)
41
Guttural pouches
Extensions of ear of the horse (2) Air-filled diverticula from the auditory tube separated by a thin septum on the midline Lined with ciliated pseudostrat. epithelium (goblet and mucus cells)
42
What are the functions of the guttural pouch?
Influence BP in the internal carotid Cerebral blood-cooling mechanism during racing Balace system
43
What are the components of the GP?
Medial compartment (larger) Lateral compartment Stylohyoid bone (divides the compartments) Capacity: 300-500 ml
44
Stylohyoid bone
Largest bones of the hyoid apparatus Incompletely divide the guttutal pouches into medial and lateral
45
What are the guttural pouches drained by?
Medial retropharyngeal LN
46
When does the physis between the basioccipital bone and basisphenoid bone close?
@ 2-3 years of age
47
What muscle attaches to the basioccipital bone and basisphenoid bone and is involved in guttural pouch diseases?
Longus capitis muscle
48
What are the natural entrances to the GP?
Nasopharynx (via endoscopy) Lateral Canthus Dorsal to Pouch
49
Lymphoid Hyperplasia
Pharyngitis or sore throat (bumps) Normal in the pharynx
50
What diseases are associated with the GP?
Tympani Empyema Mycosis Exostosis of the styloid bone Tumors (melanoma)
51
GP tympani
Enlargment of the GP with air Needs to be drained
52
GP emypema
GP filled with pus (infection and bacteria) Dried pus= chondroid formation, surgically remove
53
GP Mycosis
Fungus living in GP Fungus grows on walls of BVs --> weakens and ruptures them Leads to GP bleeding
54
Exostosis of the stylohyoid bone
Excessive bone formation on the stylohyoid bones
55
Surgical approaches of the GP
Viborg Triangle Modified Whitehouse (enter through medial compartment)
56
Viborg Triangle
Landmarks: ramus of the mandible (cr) Linguofacial vein (ven) Tendon of the sternocephalicus (dor) Parotid ducts are at risk
57
Whitehouse technique
NOT midline Cutting beside the midline (couple inches)
58
Larynx
Box that separates the oral cavity from the respiratory system CS: laryngeal hemiplegia (roaring)
59
Epiglottis
Shutter for breathing/ swallowing CS: epiglottic entrapment (by excessive mucous membrane due to inflammation of the area)
60
Soft Palate
Root of the tongue, shutter also CS: Dorsal displacement of the soft palate (SP sits on top of the epiglottis)
61
Cricoarytenoideus dorsalis
Supplied by recurrent laryngeal nerve (stimulation --> contraction --> muscle opens --> air comes) CS: Laryngeal hemiplegia (roaring) F: Abduct arytenoid
62
Laryngeal prosthesis (tie back)
Solution for hemiplegia #1 site: dorsal aspect of cricocartilage (most caudal point) #2 site: muscular process of the arytenoid cartilage
63
What is another procedure surgeons do with the tie back?
Ventriculectomy/ Sacculectomy Burr inside and cut mucous membrane lining ventricle to increase diameter (also done with laser)
