profile of retrospective three dimensional CT reconstructed reformat of some congenital paranasal sinus anomalies

ABSTRACT

Gathered data from spiral axial and coronal computed tomography examination of some congenital paranasal sinus anomalies were constructed to retrospective three dimensional [3D] reconstructions. These data covered congenital anomalies in both the anterior and posterior groups of the paranasal sinuses. The findings were found to be valuable in diagnosing the congenital lesions and its extent, whether hypo-developed or overdeveloped. Moreover, applying this up-to-date technology of three dimensional computed tomography will help in the endoscopic diagnosis and management of sinus lesions, in particular, and in other related diseases in general as well as allocating blood vessels in cases of congenital sinus anomalies
