title: [Current aspects of sinus barotrauma. The impact on treatment, prevention and fitness].
abstract: Among the barotraumatism which affects divers and airplane pilots, sinus barotraumatism is one of the less known and studied, as the scarceness of series published can testify. The interest of this study stands in doing an up to date synthesis (recap) of the bibliography, and to understand the "physio-pathologic" mechanism after the exploitation of series of 22 observations. That work will allow a better knowledge of therapeutic on the one hand, and of the "prophylactic" on the other hand.
