Abstract
Minimal inflammation in the narrow openings of the lateral nasal wall may obstruct the major sinuses and produce maxillary or frontal sinusi tis. Cold-light endoscopy enables diagnostic, outpatient examination o f these key recesses. Surgery can then be limited to precise, endoscop ic, intranasal clearance of the openings only. More traditional and ra dical procedures of sinus exenteration, using an external approach, ar e avoided.
