The effect of high pressures on the radiological image of the maxillary sinuses in divers

The study was performed on 38 divers of the navy. The research consisted in an analysis of RTG images of paranasal sinuses performed during control examinations. The authors compared sinus aeration in particular tests and calculated planimetric indices. It was concluded that an exposure to pressure...

The authors compared sinus aeration in particular tests and calculated planimetric indices. It was concluded that an exposure to pressure fluctuations caused changes in the image and aeration of maxillary sinuses, which however did not have an effect on the diving capabilities of the tested group. Moreover, it was revealed that in a certain group of the subjects an exposure to hyperbaric conditions did not manifest any detectable lesions in maxillary sinuses.https://doi.org/10.1515/phr-2015-0024divingmucous membrane barotraumasinus barotrauma
