Abstract
The inherently superior soft‐tissue resolution and multiplanar capabilities render MRI examinations superior for assessment of soft‐tissue masses and extension of infectious/malignant disease processes beyond the paranasal sinuses. The main source of data for this study were the patients referred from the Departments of ENT, General Medicine, Dental and Ophthalmology with upper respiratory tract symptomatology where imaging revealed paranasal sinus masses. Informed consent was obtained from the subjects before the commencement of the investigations. On plain radiography, the findings were complete sinus opacification (53.49%), partial sinus opacification (23.25%), polypoidal mucosal thickening (34.88%) and nasal haziness (39.53%). On Computed tomography, thickening and sclerosis of sinus walls (100%), polypoidal mucosal thickening (100%) and bone erosion (9.30%) were seen. In present study, CT was able to correctly diagnose chronic rhinosinusitis. On MRI, Sinus polypoidal mucosal thickening (100%), mucosal enhancement (93.02%), nasal mucosal thickening (93.02%) and sinus opacification (32.56%) were seen.
