| | People with stage I or stage II maxillary sinus cancer are sometimes treated with radiation therapy alone, especially if they have other medical problems that might significantly increase their risk of surgical complications. | | | Nasal cavity or paranasal sinus rhabdomyosarcoma, a type of sarcoma that is most common among infants and young children, is usually treated with a combination of surgery, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy. | | | If the initial treatment for maxillary sinus, ethmoid sinus, or nasal cavity cancers was radiation therapy, craniofacial surgery may be done. |

| | It is possible that if non-surgical treatments have failed to resolve your sinus disease, that repeat Caldwell-Luc surgery may be necessary, but if it is necessary, I believe that endoscopic sinus surgery might also be advisable to clear any potential obstruction in the natural drainage pathways of the sinuses. | | | Because of all of these issues, endoscopic sinus surgery has largely replaced Caldwell-Luc operations as the initial surgical intervention for chronic sinus disease when medical (non-surgical) therapy has failed. | | | Most otolaryngologists today reserve Caldwell-Luc surgery for certain types of tumors or for chronic maxillary sinus disease that has persisted despite endoscopic sinus surgery in which the natural drainage pathways of the sinuses have been successfully cleared of obstruction. |

| | Atelectasis, of the maxillary sinus |
| | Radiographically this condition has to be differentiated from hypoplasia of the maxillary sinus, showing on the affected side a smaller maxillary sinus with a somewhat lower position of the orbital floor; however, in such cases maxillary pneumatization is incomplete (no penetration of sinus pneumatization into the maxillary ridge and malar eminence). | | | Obstruction of the ostiomeatal unit and more specifically the ethmoid infundibulum is the common factor in these cases; impaired sinus ventilation with a build-up of negative pressure and inward collapse of the thin orbital floor (and sometimes also the other maxillary walls) is thought to be the mechanism (Fig.1). | | | Partial collapse of the maxillary sinus is commonly seen after a Caldwell Luc procedure, but this does not usually lead to cosmetic deformity. |
