    Study Notes

    Sinonasal Cavity Functions

    • The sinonasal cavity serves several functions, including smell, respiration, air conditioning, immune response, and sound quality.

    Radiology and Pathology

    • Radiology is used to evaluate patients who have failed medical treatment, are considering FESS, or have an acute presentation such as orbital cellulitis or mucocoele.
    • Radiology helps to differentiate tumors from inflammation, assess tumor extent, and exclude non-sinonasal causes of anosmia.

    Rhinosinusitis

    • Rhinosinusitis can be classified into allergic, vasomotor, infective, ciliary disorders, and iatrogenic types.
    • Radiological assessment should include identification of anatomical variants, extent of disease, bony thickening or erosion, dental disease, orbital or intracranial extension, and postnasal space.

    Nasal Polyposis

    • Antrochoanal polyps are a type of nasal polyposis.

    Mucocoeles

    • Mucocoeles can cause frontal swelling or headache, and may extend into the orbit, leading to proptosis.
    • Mucocoeles are usually sterile but can occasionally become infected, leading to osteomyelitis and subperiosteal abscess.

    Epistaxis

    • Epistaxis can be a symptom of nasal and paranasal sinus tumors.
    • Recurrent epistaxis may require investigation with CT post-intravenous contrast medium.

    Nasal and Paranasal Sinus Tumors

    • Tumors can cause symptoms similar to chronic sinusitis, but early diagnosis requires a high index of suspicion.
    • Early symptoms of malignancy include unilateral facial pain, nasal obstruction, and epistaxis.
    • Late symptoms include epiphora and trismus.
    • Prognostic factors in sinonasal malignancy include tumor type and intracranial and orbital involvement.

    Osteoma

    • Osteomas are slow-growing and often do not require treatment, but surgery may be considered if they compromise the drainage pathway or occupy more than 50% of the sinus volume.

    Inverted Papilloma

    • Inverted papillomas frequently present as a middle meatal mass causing unilateral nasal obstruction.
    • They have a characteristic lobulated outline on CT and a cerebriform pattern on MRI.
    • Surgery must include subperiosteal resection at the site of attachment to avoid recurrence.

    Juvenile Angiofibroma

    • Juvenile angiofibromas are characterized by heavy epistaxis in adolescent boys.
    • They originate at the sphenopalatine foramen and can widen the PPF, extend into the nasal cavity, and erode the adjacent medial pterygoid plate and skull base.

    Sinonasal Malignancy

    • The most common types of sinonasal malignancy are squamous cell carcinoma, adenocarcinoma, adenoid cystic carcinoma, and lymphoma.
    • Multiplanar MR with fat-saturated sequences is the technique of choice for assessing orbital, dural involvement, or perineural extension.
    • Important features to assess include skull base erosion, dural involvement, extension through the dura, and involvement of the orbital periosteum.
