OBJECTIVE: To determine the value of radiological features in the diagnosis of @entity364 ( @entity364 ). STUDY DESIGN: Retrospective review of the radiological materials of 65 @entity1 with documented @entity364 treated at the same institution. METHODS: Evaluation by the ENT surgeon and the head and neck radiologist. RESULTS: @entity364 was more common in female @entity1 in this series. Fifty-four (83%) @entity1 were above 30 years of age, with a peak of 18 @entity1 (27.7%) in the seventh decade. All the @entity1 except one (98.5%) showed bilateral mucosal thickening on unenhanced CT scans. Thirty-eight @entity1 (58%) showed increased intrasinus attenuation on unenhanced CT scans. Thirty-seven @entity1 (57%) showed opacification of at least one sinus; 25 (38%) showed @entity4421 ; 11 (17%) had erosion of the sinus wall and only one @entity1 showed minor expansion of an involved sinus. In 6 @entity1 , typical hyperattenuation patterns on CT scans, together with distinctive MRI images, were highly suggestive of @entity364 . CONCLUSION: Our data show that hyperattenuation on CT images with bone window settings suggests the presence of @entity364 . This hyperattenuation is more clearly seen with soft-tissue window settings. When necessary, adjunctive MRI can provide information which might be highly predictive for the diagnosis of @entity364 . However, non-specific imaging findings of @entity102 ( @entity102 ) should also be seen as possible @entity364 pathology.
