Role of CT imaging to evaluate osteomeatal complex in inflammatory lesions of PNS
Journal Title: International Archives of Integrated Medicine - Year 2017, Vol 4, Issue 4
Abstract
Background: The Paranasal sinuses are hollow, air-filled spaces located within the bones of the Face and surrounding the nasal cavity, a system of air channels connecting the nose with the back of the throat. Aim and objectives: To study the appearances of osteomeatal complex in different inflammatory conditions of PNS using CT scanning and help to decide the line of management in different appearances. Materials and methods: 50 cases of either strong suspicion or diagnosed of inflammatory conditions of PNS were evaluated who came to Dhiraj Hospital. Results: 50 patients of inflammatory conditions of PNS were evaluated; out of these patients were diagnosed and evaluated for inflammatory conditions OMC, Blocked OMC, sinusitis, polyp, mucocele. Conclusion: CT Imaging remains the ideal scanning modality to evaluate osteomeatal complex in different inflammatory conditions of PNS and help to change the line of management in different appearances.
