I just got my NCCT scan results for the PNS area, and I'm kinda worried. It says there's mucosal thickening in the sphenoid sinus and along the walls of my bilateral maxillary sinuses. Also, the posterior air cells of my bilateral ethmoidal sinuses are affected, and the bilateral ostiomeatal units are compromised due to mucosal thickening at the hiatus semilunaris. Should I be concerned about this?
