RESUMO
The 2019 novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV) outbreak in Wuhan, Hubei Province, China in 2019 led to large numbers of peoplebeing infected and developing atypical pneumonia (coronavirus disease 2019, COVID-19). Typical imaging manifestations ofpatients infected with 2019-nCoV has been reported, but we encountered an atypical radiological manifestation on baselinecomputed tomography (CT) images in three patients from Wuhan, China infected with the 2019-nCoV. Surprisingly, the onlysimilar CT finding was a solitary sub-centimeter ground-glass nodule adjacent to bronchovascular bundles, which could beeasily overlooked. In addition, the follow-up images in these patients showed how COVID-19 pneumonia evolved from thesesmall nodules. The radiologic manifestation of the three cases will expand contemporary understanding of COVID-19.
RESUMO
OBJECTIVE@#The purpose of the study was to observe the CT imaging features of the frontal recess regional.@*METHOD@#Eighty-two patients were undergone spiral computed tomography (CT). Then multiplanar reconstruction images were made using standard triplanar reconstruction protocol on a computer workstation.@*RESULT@#The prevalence of agger nasi cell was 87.8% (144/164). One hundred and forty-five (89%, 145/164) uncinate processes had one superior attachment for each uncinate process. The others had two superior attachments for each uncinate process. The uncinate process' single superior attachment of into the surrounding structures was identified to have the following distribution: 90/164 (54.9%): to the lamina papyracea, 50/164 (30.5%) to the middle turbinate, and 5/164 (3.0%) to the skull base. Of all the frontal cells were identified in 144 (87.8%) sides of frontal recesses, the prevalence of type I II, type III IV, were 30.5% and 9.8% respectively.@*CONCLUSION@#T Agger nasi cell and uncinate process play an important role in endoscopic frontal sinus surgery.
