Key points • A proper imaging protocol and correct interpretation of post-treatment imaging findings rely on knowledge of the most frequently used surgical and radiation therapy techniques and principles of…
Key points • Diverse tissue types in the sinonasal space give rise to a variety of tumors, most of which are malignant. • Although pathologic diagnosis is not always possible,…
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…
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…
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…
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,…
