Abstract

An observational, descriptive and cross-sectional investigation of 132 patients with non traumatic disorders of the paranasal sinuses, assisted in the Otolaryngology Service of "Saturnino Lora Torres"TeachingProvincialHospitalinSantiago de Cuba, was carried out from January, 2013 to December,2015, inorder to characterize them according to clinical, epidemiological and tomographic variables of interest. In the series there was a prevalence of the affected patients aged 39-58 (42.4 %), the smoking habit (62.1 %) and dental infections (59.1 %) as the main risk factors, as well as the sinusal inflammatory processes (62.1 %) that preferably affected the maxillary sinus. There was a coincidence between the definitive diagnosis and the tomographic signs in 66 patients, with a Kappa coefficient of 0.80.
