“…Our study showed just similar general MRI features. Still this retrospective review selected the lesions with striated pattern on T2 and post-contrast T1 images [26][27][28][29]. Though Yousem et al [30] stated that no signature pattern of MR imaging is specific of IP, later studies by Barnes et al…”

Background: Inverted papilloma (IP) is an uncommon sino-nasal neoplasm with potentially distinctive MRI and CT features. The MR "striated" imaging pattern has been reported as a valuable MR imaging feature of IP. The purpose of this study was to validate the usefulness of this sign using detailed criteria of the sign itself. Results: All imaging findings were described for 16 patients in descriptive pattern. The nasal involvement showed highest prevalence followed by the maxillary sinus. The bony changes include remodeling and defects (n = 6), remodeling only (n = 4), and None (n = 6). Changes were severe 1/10, moderate in 3/10, and mild 5/10. Focal hyperostosis was seen in six. A striated pattern was "diffuse" in all 16 (100%) of the IPs; it followed a certain direction in all 16 patients: divergent (n = 6), convoluted (n = 2), and parallel (n = 8). Divergent growth from focal hyperostosis was seen (n = 4). Visibility of the sign was superior in T2 images (n = 11), superior in enhanced images (n = 3), and equal in both (n = 2). Conclusions: The striated pattern is a reliable MR imaging feature of sino-nasal IPs. Validity and usefulness of this sign can be emphasized by defining parameters of the signs itself including the following: diffusivity, direction of striations and relation to hyperostosis, and comparing visibility in both T2 and GAD-enhanced images, as well as combining this imaging signature with remolding bony changes < 1.5.
