Paranasal Sinuses in Health and Disease
Chapter
Abstract
■ The CT scan is the modality of choice for evaluation of paranasal sinuses due to its ability to optimally display bone, soft tissue, and air.
■ Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has the edge over CT with regard to tissue characterization.
■ There are a number of variations in nasal anatomy, including middle turbinate, nasal septum, ostiomeatal complex, and uncinate process variations.
■ There are five major patterns of inflammatory sinonasal disease: the infundibular, ostiomeatal unit, spheno-ethmoid recess, sinonasal polyposis, and sporadic unclassified patterns.
■ The most commonly encountered complication of acute sinusitis is orbital extension.
■ Many forms of disease affect the paranasal sinuses.
