EVALUATION OF ANATOMICAL VARIANTS OF PARANASAL SINUSES ON HRCT WITH ASSESSMENT OF THEIR CLINICAL IMPORTANCE

Dr. Anand Reddy, Dr. John Dsouza, Dr. Priscilla Joshi

Abstract :

 50 patients with sino–nasal complaints underwent MSCT scan of the PNS in the prone position and were evaluated for the presence of normal anatomical variants which were seen in 48 (96%) patients with PNS mucosal abnormalities. CT scan serves as a ‘‘road map’’ for the surgeon to negotiate areas of anatomical variation in the paranasal sinus unit. Being rapid, convenient and noninvasive investigation it is of immense help in management of patients undergoing surgery.
