BACKGROUND CT and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) frequently reveal asymptomatic paranasal sinus mucosal hypertrophy in the general population. OBJECTIVE Divers can suffer asymptomatic paranasal sinus mucosal injury secondary to barotrauma. METHODS We examined 20 professional divers by MRI and compared them to 20 normal controls. Paranasal sinus mucosal hypertrophy was defined as mucosal thickening of 3 mm or greater. RESULTS Nine divers had paranasal sinus mucosal hypertrophy vs. four controls (p = 0.09). There was no significant relationship between paranasal sinus hypertrophy and age, diving history, alcohol consumption, or smoking. CONCLUSIONS Divers had a tendency toward paranasal sinus mucosal hypertrophy.
