Section 6 Systemic Disorders/Surrounding Structures Involving PNS306
Others
Recurrent acute sinusitis, chronic rhinosinusitis, polyposis, and even nasal perforations can be seen but less commonly in other vasculitis, such as Churg-Strauss syndrome, systemic lupus erythematosus, and polyarteritis nodosa. Nasal mucosal atrophy may be seen in Sjögren’s syndrome.
IMMUNODEFICIENCY
Primary Immunodeciency
Inherited defects aecting cell-mediated/humoral immunity, phagocyte function, or mucociliary clearance can result in recurrent and persistent infections in the head and neck.
ese include rhinosinusitis, otitis media, oral cavity infections, and adenopathy.
If a patient develops two or more episodes of severe sinusitis within a year, investigations for immunodeciencies should be initiated.
erapy besides long-term antibiotics includes immunoglobulins and bone marrow transplantation, depending on the disorder.
Structural Defects
Dysfunctions aecting mucociliary clearance mechanism result in recurrent sinusitis and polyposis, in addition to frequent pulmonary infections.
Cystic Fibrosis
Autosomal recessive inheritance.
Sinonasal involvement seen in about 20% of patients.
e various features of involvement include nasal polyposis and chronic rhinosinusitis. e mucopurulent secretions can lead to bulging of the lateral wall of the maxillary sinus simulating a mucocele, referred to as maxillary pseudomucoceles.
Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia
Autosomal recessive disorder.
About 50% of patients have Kartagener’s syndrome comprising of bronchiectasis, situs inversus, and chronic sinusitis.
Rhinitis, polyposis, maxillary, and ethmoid sinusitis are seen, while frontal sinuses are often hypoplastic (Figs. 22.5A to C).
Acquired Immune Disorders
Acquired Immunodeciency Syndrome
Nasopharyngeal mucosal inammation and hypertrophy is seen.
Sinusitis: It is usually recurrent, may be acute and chronic.
Rhinitis: It may exacerbate allergic rhinitis.

Bone marrow Transplant Recipients
Increased predisposition to infections with Gram-negative bacteria and fungi.
Sinusitis especially invasive fungal sinusitis is a real risk.
Solid Organ Transplant Recipient
Similar increased risk of invasive fungal infections, especially aspergillosis.
DISORDERS WITH SINOPULMONARY INVOLVEMENT
Several disorders of varying etiology tend to involve the respiratory system, especially the airways and sinonasal apparatus (Flowchart 22.2).
Some of these have been discussed earlier in this chapter and elsewhere.
Allergic Bronchopulmonary Aspergillosis
Allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis is a hypersensitivity response to Aspergillus fumigatus with bronchial and pulmonary manifestations, seen in asthmatics.
It may be associated with allergic Aspergillus sinusitis with exacerbations parallel to the pulmonary symptoms.
Imaging reveals chronic rhinosinusitis which is more often unilateral with central hyperdensities and sinus expansion (Figs. 22.6A and B).
Seen in young asthmatics, patients give history of passage of brownish plugs/casts with nasal discharge.

image showing hyperdense contents distending the maxillary and ethmoid sinuses (*). Note that
the edematous mucosa is hypodense; and (B) Lung window of same patient showing patchy
area of consolidation in right lower lobe with central bronchiectasis (arrows).
Asthma
It is logical that diseases of the upper and lower airway may coexist in the same patient. Hence, a large proportion (up to 80%) of patients with asthma has allergic rhinitis, while nasal polyposis can occur in 7%.
Imaging reveals nonspecic ndings of sinus opacication, air-uid levels, mucosal thickening, or polyposis.
Samter’s Triad
Aspirin-exacerbated respiratory disease (AERD), Widal’s triad/aspirin sensitive asthma syndrome comprising of asthma and nasal polyposis related to aspirin/other nonsteroidal anti-inammatory drugs (NSAIDs) intake.
Inammatory Bowel Disease
Chronic mucosal inammation may be present in up to 50% patients of ulcerative colitis, and rarely in Crohn’s disease. Occasionally septal perforation may also be seen.
Amyloidosis
Nasal or maxillary sinus mucosal thickening maybe seen in amyloidosis.
It is mostly unilateral.
GRANULOMATOUS DISORDERS
Granulomatous diseases are often multisystem disorders that result in formation of granulomas (macrophages or mononuclear inammatory cells with or without giant cells surrounded by lymphocytes).
In the head and neck, these essentially include the multisystem diseases that we have discussed earlier in the chapter.
ese disorders are of varying etiology, mainly autoimmune (GPA, Churg-Strauss syndrome, and Behcet disease), infectious (TB, fungal, leprosy, and rhinoscleroma), idiopathic (sarcoidosis), or hereditary (chronic granulomatous disease).
As discussed earlier, in the head and neck region, malignancy is an important dierential of these disorders (Figs. 22.7A and B).

Immunoglobulin-4-related Disease
Relatively recently described entity, rst reported in 2001.
Multisystem disease, sinonasal involvement rare. Sinonasal involvement is part of multisystem disease isolated (more frequent).
Nonspecic symptoms, epistaxis is common presenting symptom.
Imaging: No specic feature.
Site—Maxillary sinus is most common, more often unilateral, and can
be bilateral
• Focal soft tissue mass with bony destruction. Perineural/marrow
inltration also seen
Computed tomography—Isoattenuating mass with bone expansion
and remodeling. Bone sclerosis/erosion.
Magnetic resonance imaging—Isointense to gray matter with homogenous enhancement (Figs. 22.8A and B).

images showing heterogeneously hypointense soft tissue lling bilateral maxillary, frontal, and ethmoid sinuses; and (B) Extension to extraconal compartment of both orbits and nasal cavities
(arrow).
Diagnostic criteria based on international consensus statement require presence of two out of three characteristic histopathological features which include a dense lymphoplasmacytic inltrate (with more than 50 IgG4 plasma inltration), brosis (characteristic storiform pattern), and obliterative phlebitis. Eosinophils are also seen within the inltrate.
Supportive evidence is elevation of serum IgG4 levels. It is, however, an insensitive marker and can be negative. Tissue biopsy is essential.
Treated with steroids/surgery. In nonresponders rituximab has also been advocated.
Rhinoscleroma
Chronic granulomatous disease of infectious etiology.
Organism: Klebsiella rhinoscleromatis (Gram-negative bacteria).
Clinical features: Nasal crusting, expansion of nasal cavity, and foetid odor.
Endemic areas: Tropical and temperate regions including parts of India.
Sites: Nasal cavity is involved in almost all patients with subsequent spread to the rest of upper airway, pharynx, nasopharynx, oropharynx, larynx, and less commonly trachea and even bronchi involved. Middle and inferior turbinate are involved rst, then nasal septum. May extend through septum to maxillary sinus (40% cases). Sphenoid and ethmoid sinus involvement is uncommon.
Histopathology of scleroma: Granulation tissue with plasma cells, Russell bodies (degenerated plasma cells), and Mikulicz cells (foamy histiocytes containing bacteria).
Treatment: Antibiotics (broad spectrum), surgery, and laser for laryngeal lesions.
Box 22.1: Suspicion of granulomatous disorders on imaging.
When to suspect granulomatous disorders on imaging:
• Chronic sinonasal inammation (mucosal thickening and/or polyposis)
• Osseous and cartilage erosion, perforation of nasal septum ± palate perforation
• Nasal cavity is involved before the paranasal sinuses
• Maxillary/ethmoid sinus involvement
• Frontal sinuses usually spared
• Orbital extension
• Less commonly intracranial extension.
Imaging ndings:
• Depend on the stage of the disease, there is expansion of the nasal
cavity, scalloping of sinus wall (chronic disease unlike malignancy)
Catarrhal stage: Nonspecic mucosal thickening or soft tissue nodules
Granulomatous (hypertrophic) stage: Masses, bilateral asymmetrical
in majority, and unilateral in one-third (Box 22.1).
Computed tomography: Scleromas are well-dened and homogenous
in appearance.
Magnetic resonance imaging:
T1-weighted image: It may be hyperintense (increased protein in
Mikulicz cells and Russell bodies)
T2-weighted image: Mildly hyperintense due to cellular com po-
nent, with hypointense foci due to brotic component.
Contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging: Homogenous
enhancement.
Diusion-weighted imaging: Restricted diusion (high cellularity
and fatty areas).
Sclerotic (brotic stage):
• Atrophy/destruction of turbinates
• Nasal septum destruction
• Vestibular, laryngeal stenosis.
Rhinosporidiosis
Chronic granulomatous disease of infectious etiology.
Organism: Rhinosporidium seeberi, fungus of class Mesomycetozoea.
Endemic areas: Southern India, Sri Lanka, and Pakistan.
Adult males commonly aected.
Predisposing factor: Bathing in stagnant water ponds. Enters through skin and mucosal abrasions.
Sites of involvement: Nasal cavity, nasopharynx, oropharynx, and nasolacrimal ducts (in decreasing order)
Other systems reported: Trachea, bones, central nervous system, and
orbits.

Imaging for atypical/recurrent cases and for extent of disease.
On clinical examination: Vascular polyp with white dots classical in endemic areas (Fig. 22.9).
Computed tomography: Nasal cavity with common sites including inferior turbinate, inferior meatus and oor
• Well-dened polypoidal mass with moderate to intense enhancement
• Foci or air and calcication within
• Multiple dilated supplying vessels
• Compared to nasal cavity and nasopharyngeal lesions, those in
oropharynx or trachea show less enhancement
• Nasolacrimal duct may be involved with spread to lacrimal sac
• Adjoining bones involved with thinning/rarefaction or erosion.
Marked erosion of inferior turbinate, septal erosion, and thinning of medial wall of the maxillary sinus
Magnetic resonance imaging: Heterogeneous appearance with ow
voids. Intense enhancement on contrast-enhanced MRI (CEMRI). Imaging pattern may resemble the cribriform pattern of enhancement of inverted papilloma. However, site and spread is dierent.
Diagnosis: Fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) with examination under potassium hydroxide (KOH)/Papanicolaou smear. However, histopathology often required.
Treatment: Surgical removal with high recurrence rates. Dapsone is also used.
