“…Mucous retention cysts are more common than serous retention cysts and are caused by the obstruction of a seromucinous gland, while serous retention cysts are due to the accumulation of fluid in the submucosal layer [107]. Retention cysts are common in the maxillary sinuses and are found on imaging studies in up to 9 to 35% [108,109].…”

Paranasal sinus development and pneumatisation variants are described, and rhinosinusitis and different patterns of inflammatory sinonasal diseases are reviewed. Other inflammatory sinonasal diseases, e.g., fungal sinusitis, mucocele, pyocele and sinonasal manifestations in systemic diseases, are briefly described. Computed tomography (CT) is the primary modality in diagnosing and mapping suspected inflammatory sinonasal disease. Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging is complementary to CT if fungal sinusitis, pyocele or malignancy are suspected.

Sinonasal polyposis: investigation by direct coronal CT

et al. 1994

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

To demonstrate the typical clinical and CT features of sinonasal polyposis, we reviewed the clinical records and preoperative direct coronal CT scans of 35 patients with surgically proven disease. Symptoms included progressive nasal stuffiness (100%), rhinorrhea (69%), facial pain (60%), headache (43%) and anosmia (17%). We found associations with rhinitis (46%), asthma (29%) and aspirin sensitivity (9%). Coronal CT features included polypoid masses in the nasal cavity (91%), partial or complete pansinus opacification (90%), enlargement of infundibula (89%), bony attenuation of the ethmoid trabeculae (63%) and nasal septum (37%), opacified ethmoid sinuses with convex lateral walls (51%) and air-fluid levels (43%). The latter feature correlated with symptoms and signs of acute sinusitis in only 40% of patients. Recognition of sinonasal polyposis is important to the endoscopic surgeon since it can be the most troubling sinonasal inflammatory disease to manage due to its aggressive nature and tendency to recur despite appropriate treatment.

The goals of imaging in inflammatory disease of the paranasal sinuses are confirmation of the diagnosis, evaluation of the extent of the disease, and description of the different anatomic variants in order to select the patients who would benefit from surgical treatment of paranasal sinus disease. The most common inflammatory changes of the paranasal sinuses, the complications of inflammatory disease, and the optimal imaging strategy are presented.
