Infections involving paranasal sinuses and nasal cavities is one of the common public health problem in all age groups. Functional endoscopic sinus surgery has revolutionized in the treatment of sinusitis. MDCT has been the most ideal investigation in the assessment of paranasal sinuses especially in the identification of various anatomical variations that predispose to development of sinus inf...

conclusions surgeons should consider the possibility of existence of other mucoceles when they find a large downstream sinus mucocele obstructing the ostia of upstream sinuses on computed tomography scans. introduction mucoceles of the paranasal sinuses are relatively rare. a very busy otolaryngology department does not have more than a few cases each year. bilateral, multiple, and multiloculat...

Cavernous sinus thrombosis is a life-threatening condition that arises as complication of facial infection, sinusitis, orbital cellulitis, pharyngitis, or otitis fungal bacterial origin after traumatic injury surgery. Rhinocerebral mucormycosis an aggressive infection that, depending on its level extension, affects nasal passages, paranasal sinuses and the region.

Modern medical advances allow us to expand a range of combined surgical interventions. The literature this day does not cover issues regarding the implementation typical options for operations with deformities nasal septum, structures lateral wall cavity, nose, pathological processes in hole paranasal sinuses; perforated odontogenic maxillary sinusitis; racemose, sprains sinuses, damage orbit. ...

 Abstract Introduction: external nasal walls are  an important factor  in the drainage or obstruction of the ostiomeatal complex, therfor  anatomical variations in the nasal cavity can elevate the risk of pathological sinus conditions. The aim of this study is to evaluate anatomical variations of paranasal sinuses and nasal cavities using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT). Materials and ...

The number of screening examinations of the sinuses performed with CT has markedly increased owing to the widespread and increasing use of endoscopic sinonasal surgery. We reviewed scans from 500 patients who had screening CT examinations of the sinuses for preendoscopic evaluation of inflammatory sinonasal disease to better define an optimal imaging protocol. Three aspects of direct coronal im...
