Dr Sanket Shah, Dr Shashank Jadhav

Abstract :

 Introduction: Paranasal sinus lesions are common and affect a wide range of population with a variety of etiologies. They include a wide spectrum ranging from inflammation to neoplasm, both benign and malignant, many of which have good prognosis on treatment. MDCT imaging provides detailed information of the paranasal sinuses of anatomy and the extent of disease.

Aims: To evaluate the lesions of paranasal sinuses, their origin its extension and spread into adjacent structures. To correlate CT results with histopathological diagnosis and operative findings wherever possible.

Study design: Descriptive study carried out in Dept of Radio–diagnosis of a tertiary hospital over a period of 2 years consisting of 50 patients of paranasal sinus (PNS) pathology. All patients underwent a non contrast CT scan of the PNS, contrast scan was done wherever indicated. The findings of CT scan were documented and compared with the intraoperative or follow up findings.

Results: The most common lesions were of inflammatory origin26 (52%) followed by neoplastic lesions in 19 (38%) patients and trauma in 5 (10%) patients.

Conclusion: Excellent agreement was found in the CT findings and surgical findings in PNS patholgies.
