title: [Difficulties in antral irrigation (author's transl)].
abstract: If antral irrigation is impaired, there is in most cases also an impaired ventilation as a consequence of disturbances of the "ostio-meatal unit" of the maxillary sinus. This is therefore an important symptom showing the disposition or diseased region, which is the origin or cause of inflammations of the maxillary sinus, as the antrum is subordinate to the ethmoidal sinus. The reasons causing this symptom must be analysed carefully for adequate therapy. The various pathological conditions causing an impaired antral irrigation and their therapy are described in detail.
