    Computer-assisted tomography (CAT) offers superior evaluation of paranasal sinus lesions with suspected orbital involvement. This imaging technique accurately identifies lesion nature and extent, aiding diagnosis in 43 diverse cases.

    Area of Science:

    • Radiology
    • Ophthalmology
    • Otorhinolaryngology

    Background:

    • Orbital involvement in paranasal sinus lesions requires advanced imaging.
    • Traditional roentgenography has limitations in assessing complex anatomical relationships.

    Observation:

    • Computer-assisted tomography (CAT) was utilized for evaluating paranasal sinus lesions with suspected orbital extension.
    • The study reviewed 43 cases presenting with diverse pathologies.

    Findings:

    • CAT excels in demonstrating orbital involvement, including its precise location and extent.
    • The modality effectively characterizes the nature of the sinus lesion.
    • Diagnosed entities ranged from inflammatory conditions like sinusitis to neoplasms such as carcinoma and rhabdomyosarcoma.

    Implications:

    • CAT is the preferred imaging modality for paranasal sinus lesions with suspected orbital invasion.
    • Accurate diagnosis through CAT facilitates appropriate management strategies for a wide spectrum of diseases.
    • Enhanced visualization aids in differentiating benign from malignant orbital and sinus pathologies.
