Symptoms and signs: FP = facial pain; NO = nasal obstruction; PR = purulent rhinorrhea; SC = swollen cheek; BS = bad smell; PD = post-nasal drip. Radiological characteristics: MS = maxillary sinusitis; ES = ethmoidal sinusitis; FS = frontal sinusitis; OMC = obstruction of the ostiomeatal complex; SD = significant septum deviation; PMT = paradoxical middle turbinate; MSS = septated maxillary sinus; BE = hypertrophic ethmoidal bulla; CB= concha bullosa; SSS = silent sinus syndrome; PU = hypertrophic uncinate process; AEA = anterior ethmoidal artery. Etiologic factors and class: DCY = dentigerous cyst; ST = supernumerary tooth; 1 = sinusitis after maxillary sinus (MS) lift with oroantral fistulae (OAF) (+/– dislocation of grafting material in MS); 1a = sinusitis after MS lift without OAF (+/– dislocation of grafting material in MS); 2a = peri-implant osteitis with sinusitis; 2c = implant dislocation with sinusitis and without OAF; 3a = Bacterial or fungal sinusitis with OAF resulting from conventional dental treatment complications 3b = bacterial or fungal sinusitis resulting from conventional dental treatment complications. Surgical treatment: EES = endoscopic endonasal surgery; OAF = oroantral fistulae. Note: # 6, 10, 18, 21, 24, 26 and 27 are reported in Figs 1–7.
