Zusammenfassung

Erkrankungen der Nasennebenhöhlen können sich klinisch mit einem relativ einheitlichen Bild präsentieren, obwohl sehr unterschiedliche Ursachen vorliegen. Radiologische Untersuchungsmethoden haben erst nach Einführung der Schnittbilddiagnostik einen bedeutenden Stellenwert in der Abklärung von Erkrankungen des Kopf-Hals-Bereichs erlangt. Einleitend werden Untersuchungstechniken und ihre Bedeutung in der Analyse der Erkrankungen der Nasennebenhöhlen diskutiert. Neben den anatomischen Grundlagen und Normvarianten werden typische Befunde traumatischer Veränderungen und akuter entzündlicher Erkrankungen dargestellt. Zusammenfassend soll die Arbeit einen differenzierten Überblick über die Möglichkeiten und Grenzen der radiologischen Verfahren im Kopf-Hals-Bereich geben.

Abstract

Although diseases of the paranasal sinuses have a relatively homogeneous clinical presentation, their causes can vary considerably. Radiological imaging only became relevant in paranasal sinus diagnostics following the introduction of cross-sectional imaging. In addition to technical details on imaging procedures and the individual criteria of the different modalities, anatomic details and congenital variations are presented. Particularly in acute inflammatory diseases as well as traumatic lesions, imaging is essential in preoperative planning and postoperative control. The article gives a detailed description of options in radiologic imaging of the paranasal sinuses.
