Abstract
Introduction: Coronal CT is the imaging modality of choice in patients with sinus diseases. CT provides and initial screening of these patients and can display anatomic cuases of recurrent sinusitis when they exist, CT is essential for planning surgery, and it provides an operative road map for subsequent FESS. Materials and Methods: Coronal sinus CT scan of 200 candiates of FESS reviewed for the major inflammatory patterns and anatomic variations which may attribute to inflammatory disease. Results: Five recurring patterns of inflammation, including infundibular 6%, ostiomeatal unit (OMU) 34%, sphenoethmoidal recess (SER) 24%, polyposies 16%, and sporadic 32% were seen. Some cases have more than one pattern. Anatomic variations included septal deviation (40%), Chonca bullosa (24%), paradoxical middle turbinate (4%), atelectatic uncinate process (6%), Haller cell (12%), giant ethmoid bulla (8%), agger nasi cell (8%), onodi cells (2%). Conclusion: Higher incidence of more severe patterns and anatomic variations in our study may be due to socioeconomic states of patients, study on surgical cases, and that our center is a referral center.
