Radiobølgekonkotomi er en veletablert metode for behandling av nasal obstruksjon ved hyperplasi av concha nasalis inferior. Metoden benyttes helst etter at medikamentell behandling er forsøkt. Vi beskriver to pasienter som fikk osteomyelitt etter radiobølgekonkotomi.

Acute infective endocarditis presenting with polyarthritis after turbinoplasty

“…Other rare infective complications in the literature include meningitis, brain abscess, cavernous sinus thrombosis,[ 4 ] and osteomyelitis involving the inferior turbinates. [ 5 ] In this patient, based on the temporal sequence of the turbinoplasty and the onset of infective endocarditis, with the exclusion of other potential causes of MSSA bacteraemia, we concluded that the infective endocarditis may be a complication of the radiofrequency turbinoplasty. Development of transient bacteraemia after nasal surgery is more common, and has been documented in 15% and 16.9% of blood samples obtained immediately after surgery and after removal of packing, respectively, with the most commonly isolated strain being Coagulase-positive staphylococcus .…”

“…Other rare rheumatic manifestations that have been reported include acute gout, buttock pain and sacroiliac joint tenderness, jaw/facial pain, neck/scapular pain and flank pain; the latter may be due to retroperitoneal infections. [ 5 ]…”
