We present two cases of barosinusitis with distinct clinical presentations: a 33-year-old flight mechanic developing acute visual blurring from maxillary-ethmoidal-frontal sinusitis and a 30-year-old flight attendant with recurrent maxillary sinus pain exacerbated by allergic rhinitis. Both cases achieved complete resolution through conservative management including antibiotics, corticosteroids, and nasal irrigation. We further review the pathophysiology, clinical spectrum, and therapeutic approaches for barosinusitis, discussing both medical and surgical options. Finally, we emphasize crucial preventive strategies for high-risk populations.
