Sinus cavities are natural hollow cavities that are found in the front part of the skull (head bone), they are lined with the mucous membranes. Each sinus has an opening into the nose for the free exchange of air and mucus, joined with the nasal passages by a continuous mucous membrane lining. |

| What is sinusitis? |
| |
Sinusitis is the inflammation of the paranasal sinuses due to a viral, bacterial, fungal infection or allergic reaction. More than 39 million people suffer from
this condition
every year.
Sinuses are a pair of hollow cavities within the bones of the skull that surround the nasal passages (paranasal sinuses). Sinusitis usually occurs when these cavities become infected due to blockage of the small tubes attached to the nasal passages. |

The reason why we have sinus cavities is to reduce the weight of the skull, create resonance to the voice, assists in the warming and filtering of air that enters the nasal passage.

The sinus cavity (ostium) opens up into the nasal passages for free exchange of air and mucus. The lining of the sinus have ciliated epithelium (cells with fines hairs) that help move the mucous from the sinus cavities into the nasal passages. If air or secretions get trapped in these blocked sinuses cavities, it may cause pressure on the sinus wall, which will result in pain or a sinusitis attack.
When air is prevented from entering the paranasal sinus due to a swollen membrane in the sinus cavity, a vacuum is created which could cause pain. |
