Evaluation of mucoceles of the paranasal sinuses with computed tomography. 1979

J R Hesselink, and A L Weber, and P F New, and K R Davis, and G H Roberson, and J M Taveras

Eighteen patients with mucoceles of the paranasal sinuses were studied by plain radiography, pluridirectional tomography, and computed tomography (CT). Sixteen of the lesions had a homogeneous appearance on CT but demonstrated variable absorption characteristics, with acutely infected mucoceles showing rim enhancement. Plain radiography and pluridirectional tomography were usually sufficient for making a diagnosis and defining the extent of the lesion, but CT more accurately demonstrated orbital and intracranial extension. Both transverse and coronal CT are essential for adequate evaluation.
