[Use of coronal sections in computerized tomography]

The authors emphasize the use of coronal cut in CT in sellar and parasellar lesions; in tumors involving the tentorium; in differential diagnosis between meningiomas of falx and parasagittal ones and in those lesions with extension into paranasal sinus and face. The purpose of this method is to evaluate the exact relationship of these type of lesions with adjacent structures in a tridimensional view.
