Abstract

Aim: To find out types of lesion, age &sex distribution and diagnostic yield of MDCT.

Result: This study was conducted to evaluate the role of MDCT in detection and characterization of paranasal sinus lesions. This study included 50 patients (30 males:20 females)in the range of 11-69 years. All these patients of paranasal sinus lesions were studied and CT was correlated with it.

Conclusion: MDCT is useful tool for detection and characterization of paranasal sinus lesions.

Keywords: MDCT, paranasal sinus, sinusitis, fungal sinusitis, polyp, retention cyst, squamous cell carcinoma.
