I recently had a CT scan that stated there is partial opacification of the right frontal sinus,ethmoid air cells, and fluid within the right maxillary sinus. That was 18 days ago I went to my primary dr for a follow up ( the original reason was from a very violent assault & robbery where I was stomped & kicked reapetedly in the face & head) today and she said I have blood and fluids pooled by my cheekbone that is broken and I m being refered to a maxofacial surgeon to be treated. What exactly is wrong
Hi, Thanks for writing in. Going by the CT scan reports, there some fluid in the airspace under the right cheek area and smaller amounts of blood and fluids is also seen in the air spaces on right side above the eye and towards the nose. The incomplete opacification of frontal, maxillary and ethmoid sinuses is due to block in the Chat Doctor. This means there is some small fracture involving the facial bones that requires a surgical opinion and if required a treatment that involves removal of polled in collections. This is the reason you are being referred to a maxillofacial surgeon.
