S Matsune et al. Auris Nasus Larynx. 2000 Oct.

Abstract

Purpose: YAMIK sinus catheter (YAMIK) has already been reported to be a useful therapeutic device for sinusitis cases. The purpose of this study was to compare the effectiveness of YAMIK in sinusitis cases with and without nasal allergy in order to contribute toward establishing its indication.

Methods: YAMIK was tried in 10 chronic sinusitis cases complicated with nasal allergy and 20 cases without nasal allergy. Clinical symptoms, endoscopic findings and pathological opacification in X-ray photographs were compared in these cases with and without nasal allergy.

Results: No significant differences were seen in the effectiveness of YAMIK between cases with and without nasal allergy.

Conclusion: These findings suggest that YANIK is useful and applicable even in sinusitis cases complicated with nasal allergy.
