The nasosinusal diseases are dominated by the rhinosinusitis. Within this framework, the data drawn from the clinical history and the endoscopy are essential. The imaging is here of secondary importance. It is especially useful to assess the extension of the affection and the surgical difficulties which can be encountered in the treatment of the inflammatory or infectious chronic diseases. On the other hand in the event of tumour it can be helpful to determine the etiologic diagnosis and the extension of the disease. The importance of some subjective symptoms as the nasal obstruction will be specified by investigative tests such as the rhinomanometry and the acoustic rhinometry. The etiology of the inflammatory and infectious chronic diseases will be partly established by the study of nasal cytology, the mucociliary testing and the ultra structural study of the cilia.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008279 Magnetic Resonance Imaging Non-invasive method of demonstrating internal anatomy based on the principle that atomic nuclei in a strong magnetic field absorb pulses of radiofrequency energy and emit them as radiowaves which can be reconstructed into computerized images. The concept includes proton spin tomographic techniques.

D009078 Mucocele A retention cyst of the salivary gland, lacrimal sac, paranasal sinuses, appendix, or gallbladder. (Stedman, 26th ed) Mucoceles
D009079 Mucociliary Clearance A non-specific host defense mechanism that removes MUCUS and other material from the LUNGS by ciliary and secretory activity of the tracheobronchial submucosal glands. It is measured in vivo as mucus transfer, ciliary beat frequency, and clearance of radioactive tracers.

D004724 Endoscopy Procedures of applying ENDOSCOPES for disease diagnosis and treatment. Endoscopy involves passing an optical instrument through a small incision in the skin i.e., percutaneous; or through a natural orifice and along natural body pathways such as the digestive tract; and/or through an incision in the wall of a tubular structure or organ, i.e. transluminal, to examine or perform surgery on the interior parts of the body.
