Among nonobstructive injuries to the FSOT, average reaeration rates in observed patients were high (91%-98%). Rescue surgery (2%) and complication rates (2%) were low, suggesting that nonsurgical management of nonobstructed FSOT is a viable strategy. No radiographic features were clearly identified to be predictive of sinus reaeration.
