    Computerized tomography (CT) is a valuable tool for head and neck surgeons. CT scans accurately assess soft tissue extent in paranasal sinus neoplasms, outperforming polytomography.

    Area of Science:

    • Otolaryngology and Head and Neck Surgery
    • Radiology and Medical Imaging

    Background:

    • Computerized tomography (CT) is an emerging diagnostic modality for otolaryngologists and head and neck surgeons.
    • This study evaluates CT scans from the E.M.I 5005 body scanner in patients with paranasal sinus neoplasms.

    Observation:

    • The study included patients who underwent surgical resection of paranasal sinus lesions.
    • CT diagnostic information was critically compared with operative and pathological findings.
    • Seven illustrative cases of paranasal sinus neoplasms are presented.

    Findings:

    • Computerized tomography (CT) demonstrated equal efficacy to polytomography in assessing bone destruction or tumor involvement.
    • CT scanning was superior to polytomography in accurately determining the soft tissue extent of disease.

  • Limitations of CT include delineating soft tissue disease in high-contrast areas and evaluating intracranial extension in isodense, avascular lesions.

    • Implications:

    • CT scanning offers significant advantages in evaluating the extent of paranasal sinus neoplasms.
    • The findings highlight CT's role in surgical planning and patient management for head and neck cancers.
    • Further research may address CT's limitations in specific challenging cases.
