Posttreatment Imaging of the Paranasal Sinuses Following Endoscopic Sinus Surgery
Endoscopic sinus surgery is a minimally invasive option for the treatment of several nonneoplastic indications, particularly for medically refractory sinusitis and polyposis. Numerous interventions can be performed through endoscopic sinus…
Current Trends in Sinonasal Imaging
As endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS) has evolved since its introduction to the United States, so has technology for imaging the sinonasal cavities. Although imaging is most frequently performed for evaluating…
Imaging Approach to Sinonasal Neoplasms
The neoplastic lesions that can be found in the sinonasal space are numerous and varied. This article describes a general approach to narrowing down the differential diagnosis and provides the…
Fungal Sinusitis
Key points • Fungal sinusitis is classified into invasive and noninvasive forms based on histopathologic evidence of tissue invasion by fungi. • The invasive category includes acute invasive, chronic invasive,…
Normal Anatomy and Anatomic Variants of the Paranasal Sinuses on Computed Tomography
