Isolated or solitary neurofibromas of the paranasal sinuses are rare. Mostly, they involve the maxillary sinus and so far, a solitary neurofibroma of the frontal sinus has never been reported in the literature. We present a case of frontal sinus neurofibroma treated successfully with surgical excision. A 28-year-old male presented with forehead swelling and computed tomography images revealed a...

The objective of this case report is to present a patient with chronic headache who was diagnosed with excessive aeration of all paranasal sinuses and mastoid air cells using computed tomography imaging. The volume and linear measurements of all of the cavities revealed values greater than the greatest values reported in the literature. To date, this is the second reported case of excessive enl...

Material and Method: In this study, 251 patients’ nasal cavities and paranasal sinuses were evaluated using CBCT (Newtom 5G, Verona Italy) images in terms of anatomical variations. The high-resolution (voxel and slice thickness: 0.2 mm) multiplanar reformatting images (MPR) were used for the evaluation of the variations. Results: The most common anatomical variation of nasal cavity and paranasa...

Allergic mucin is described as thick, peanut butter-like mucus impacted in the paranasal sinuses of patients with allergic fungal rhinosinusitis. The presence of allergic mucin in the middle ear has never been reported. We encountered a 65-year-old female with allergic mucin found impacted in her left middle ear and mastoid cavity during revised tympanoplasty surgery at our institute. Bilateral...

Rhinocerebral mycosis is an invasive fungal infection which occurs primarily in the paranasal sinuses and progresses to involve the brain and/or the orbit. It is commonly seen in immunocompromised individuals and can be most effectively treated if diagnosed early, when it is limited to the nasal cavity and the paranasal sinuses. Even though it is acceptable that surgical debridement in combinat...

Deep neural network-based diagnostic tools have gained state-of-the-art performance in the medical field recent years. Diagnostic accuracy has become very critical for treatments. This paper proposes a simple and novel deep learning-based system analysis of paranasal sinuses conditions. In this work, we focus on analysing CT images automatically, providing physicians with high-accuracy diagnosi...
