Sinus Transillumination

A simple and practical physical exam maneuver to aid in the detection of sinusitis and other sinus space-occupying lesions.

Review these notes from the FPnotebook and these videos on frontal (one and two) and maxillary (one and two) sinus transillumination and practice on a number of "normals", include in your routine examination, and of course use in your focused ENT exams.

Include the sinusitis scoring criteria (Sapira's).
