“…cr scans, however, were not routinely performed in these cases. Pace-Balzan et al 7 reported three patients presenting with sinonasal disease that were found to have clinical evidence of atrophic rhinitis. cr scans were performed in these patients and the results summarized as follows: 1) bony resorption and mucosal atrophy of inferior and middle turbinates; 2) nasal cavity enlargement with erosion and bowing of the lateral nasal wall; 3) hypoplasia of the maxillary sinuses; 4) bony resorption of the ethmoid complex with subsequent loss of definition of the ostiomeatal complex and 5) mucosal thickening in the paranasal sinuses.…”

Atrophic rhinitis or ozena is a chronic nasal disease characterized by formation of foul smelling nasal crusts with subsequent turbinate mucosal atrophy and resorption of the underlying bone. This symptom complex involves nasal and sinus mucosa with resultant mucosal atrophy, as well as reduced or absent mucocilliary function. The question of the presence of sinusitis in ozena is yet unanswered. Mucosal atrophy may lead to widely patent sinus ostia, but it may well be that the nasal mucosal disease also involves the sinus mucosa with reduced ciliary motility and ensuing sinusitis. We have undertaken a prospective CT study of 11 ozena patients in order to define the occurrence of sinusitis in this entity. These studies, corroborated in part by nasal endoscopies, demonstrate a 70% ethmoid sinus involvement. The sphenoid, frontal, and maxillary sinuses are not usually involved. Other CT criteria of ozena are described. (American Journal of Rhinology 9, 281-284, 1995) A trophic rhinitis or ozena are terms interchangeably used to describe a chronic nasal disease characterized by formation of foul smelling nasal crusts with subsequent turbinate mucosal atrophy and resorption of the underlying bone. Enlargement of the nasal cavities is a common finding. Headaches, anosmia, nasal obstruction, and altered social behavior were reported as well. The incidence of ozena has greatly diminished in the
