Computed tomographic (CT) studies of 80 @entity235 with chronic @entity11766 (nasal @entity5 (n = 19), @entity2381 (n = 46), nonspecific @entity2490 (n = 11), and @entity2490 (n = 4)) were reviewed retrospectively by two independent observers. Each observer filled out a custom-designed list to record his or her interpretation of the CT signs and selected a diagnosis. Accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value ( @entity2286 ), and negative predictive value (NPV) were calculated for the diagnosis of each disease. The agreement between observers was evaluated. The CT signs corresponded to those previously described in the literature. CT had an accuracy greater than 90% for each observer in all disease processes. The sensitivity, specificity, @entity2286 , and NPV were greater than 80% in all @entity235 with the exception of the @entity2286 of @entity2490 (80% for observer A and 44% for observer B). There was a substantial, to almost perfect, agreement between the two observers regarding the CT signs and diagnosis. This study indicates a high accuracy of CT for diagnosis of @entity235 with chronic @entity11766 . The differentiation between @entity2381 restricted to the nasal passages and @entity2490 may be difficult when the foreign body is not visible.
