statement of problem: variation in paranasal sinus anatomy as shown on computed tomographic scans is of potential significance for it may pose risks during surgery or predispose to certain pathologic conditions. purpose: the aim of this study was to assess the relative frequency and concurrence of variations in paranasal sinus anatomy in a given population and to compare the results with previo...

Objective: A study to evaluate the effectiveness of the use of pre CT checklist in requesting CT paranasal sinuses for managing patients with Chronic Rhinosinusitis (CRS). Place and Duration: CT sinuses performed at Aberdeen Royal Infirmary from 20 Aug 2010 to 3rd Nov 2010 after the introduction of pre CT paranasal sinus request checklist. Methods: Prospective studies of patients undergoing CT ...

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.

Introduction Paranasal sinus surgeries are among the most common otorhinolaryngological surgical procedures. The majority of these interventions based on chronic inflammation. Therefore, economic value routine histology is more and object discussion, especially in cases without clinical suspicion malignancy. aim this work was to determine importance histologies surgery.

Consecutive coronal CT scans of the paranasal sinus and radiologic medical records of patients examined at Wilford Hall USAF Medical Center from July 1987 through December 1988 were reviewed for the presence of pneumatization of the uncinate process. Patients with previous alteration of the anatomy of the paranasal sinus due to facial trauma, carcinoma of the paranasal sinus , inverted papillom...

Computerised tomography (CT) scan imaging techniques acts as a guide for functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS). It plays a vital role in the successful outcome of the treatment and management of the paranasal sinus variations. The frequent predisposing factors of chronic sinusitis are the anatomical variations of the paranasal sinus and nasal region. Computed tomography (CT) scan plays a f...

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...
