[Iatrogenic foreign body of the ethmoid sinus misdiagnosed as tumor]
Abstract:
Foreign bodies in the paranasal sinuses are rare. Foreign bodies in the ethmoid sinus are easily misdiagnosed as tumor. There is no typical display in CT and MRI tests. The described case showed the misdiagnosis of an ethmoid foreign body as tumour on the basis of CT and MRI results. It should be emphasised that the tumour diagnosis should be based on further physical and histopathological examinations and not only on the results of CT and MRI tests.

A brain abscess is a focal, intracerebral infection characterized by a localized collection of pus within the brain parenchyma, resulting from microbial invasion and the body’s inflammatory response. It progresses through stages: early and late cerebritis, followed by early and late capsule formation, reflecting tissue destruction, immune response, and eventual encapsulation.Etiology and PathogenesisCausative organisms vary with source and host factors, often involving polymicrobial...

01:27Cranial Bones: Lateral View
6.8K
The lateral view of the cranium is dominated by temporal, sphenoid, and ethmoid bones.
The temporal bone forms the lower lateral side of the skull. The temporal bone is subdivided into several regions. The flattened upper portion is the squamous portion of the temporal bone. Below this area and projecting anteriorly is the zygomatic process of the temporal bone, which forms the posterior portion of the zygomatic arch. Posteriorly is the mastoid portion of the temporal bone. Projecting...
