Abstract
Scleroma IS a chronic specific granulomatous inflammatory condition that has an affinity to the mucosa of the upper respiratory tract primarily affecting the nose (Rhinoscleromaju), The involvement of the maxillary sinus is the commonest among all paranasal sinuses. This might be as high as 40%. (2) It is then followed by the ethmoid and frontal sinuses respectively. Various changes from mucosal thickening to polyp formation have been reported. (3) Review of the literature will focus on the following four points: 1- Embryology and anatomy of the maxillary sinus. 2- Pathology and natural course of rhinoscleroma. 3- Radiological diagnosis of diseases involving the maxillary sinuses (Both plain x-ray and C’I’), 4- Endoscopic examination of the maxillary sinuses, (antroscopy).
