Chronic sinusitis, especially maxillary sinusitis is a common disorder in humans. Seromucous sinusitis is rarely described in the literature. The present study deals with the clinical and laboratory characteristics of a group of patients suffering from the above disorder. During the last 10 years, 32 patients suffering from seromucous maxillary sinusitis were enrolled in the study. Patients' charts were reviewed and tabulated according to age, sex, history, clinical symptoms and laboratory findings. Treatment was based on punction and drainage of the seromucous effluent. Results were also statistically evaluated. Flight trips and atypical episodes of nasal infection were the predisposing factors for seromucous maxillary sinusitis. The only clinical manifestation was coughing, for at least 12 weeks before diagnosis. Sinus effluent was composed by serous and mucous constituents with glue like structure. There were no differences between sexes in predisposing factors, or x-ray findings. The treatment is paracentesis and drainage and in one case of recurrence, middle meatotomy and sinus endoscopy.
