Radiology of Nasal Cavity and Paranasal Sinuses Radiology XRAY CT MRI Normal Anatomy Drainage system Lamella: 1) uncinate 2) ethmoidal bulla 3) basal lamella 4) superior turb lamella Uncinate attachment variations Agger Nasi Frontal sinus outflow tract May be narrowed by agger anteriorly or bulla posteriorly Frontal cells (Type 1-4) Frontal recess Lateral: lamina papyracea Medial: middle turbinate Anterior: posterior wall of agger nasi Posterior: ethmoid bulla Basal lamella U B L Keros Classification Sphenoid sinus Haller cells Other anatomic variations Concha bullosa Septal deviations Paradoxic middle turbinate convex curvature on the lateral, rather than medial side of the turbinate Dehiscent lamina Aerated crista galli Optic nerve/carotid artery MRI Helpful for evaluation of regional and intracranial complications Detection and staging of neoplastic processes Improved display between intraorbital and extraorbital compartments Helpful for diagnosing fungal concretions which show low or no signal on T2 Helps for evaluation of mucoceles and cephaloceles Appearance varies with changing concentrations of proteins and free water protons T2 ? more “watery”, higher signal T1 ? more protein, higher signal However, once protein content reaches too high signal decreases Epistaxis Epistaxis Most common otolaryngologic emergency Majority idiopathic 60% of population in their lifetime Maxillary sinus ostium serves as dividing line between “anterior” and “posterior bleeds” Vascular anatomy Endoscopic SPA ligation Epistaxis controlled in 98% Locate SPA at level of crista ethmoidalis Key in surgery is to ligate all branches which can vary Embolization Risk of complications: CVA, hemiplegia, ophthalmoplegia, facial nerve palsy, seizures, soft tissue necrosis Effective only for ECA supply very dangerous for ICA supply due to high risk of blindness Success rate 71-95% Complication rate 27% Anterior ethmoid artery bleeding Associated with nasoethmoid fractures Bleeding rarely subsid
