[CT diagnosis of mucoceles]

The article describes on the basis of the authors' own 12 cases the typical CT pattern of mucoceles of the paranasal sinuses--intrasinusoidal space-occupying growths with central density values of 20-25 HE, expansive displacement of the adjacent walls. Attention is drawn to the special factors due to the localization, which are different for various paranasal sinuses. Conventional tomography can be omitted in future.
