CT SCAN BASED STUDY OF PNS IN SYMPTOMATIC PATIENTS OF ODISHA
Journal Title: Journal of Evolution of Medical and Dental Sciences - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue 11
Abstract
BACKGROUND PNS are in close anatomical relationship with orbit, cranial fossa and pterygopalatine fossa. Pathological lesions of PNS include a wide spectrum of conditions ranging from inflammation to neoplasms. Since clinical assessment is hampered by surrounding bony structures, diagnostic radiology is necessary. CT imaging provides detailed information of PNS. The objectives of this study were to evaluate the normal anatomical findings of PNS and variations in their pathological lesions and correlate the finding with previous results. MATERIALS AND METHODS This is a descriptive study of 104 patients with pathological lesions of paranasal sinuses. RESULTS A total of 104 patients were studied from January 2016 to December 2017; 2/3rd of population were females and chief complaint of headache (51.9%) was found. The commonest CT finding were DNS (49%) and OMU obstructions (70.2%). Maxillary sinus was more commonly involved (88.5%). CONCLUSION CT was found to be superior over clinical evaluation of symptomatic patients by providing anatomical details and true local extent of disease for planning different treatment modalities.
