Clinico Radiological Series:Sinonasal Imaging

This book focuses on Clinico Radiological Series: Sinonasal Imaging. The paranasal sinuses are a group of complex structures with challenging anatomy, further showing diverse anatomical variation. A thorough knowledge of these variations and pathology affecting this region is therefore necessary, as subtle findings may sometimes confound even a trained eye. All diseases of the paranasal sinuses are not sinusitis, and differentiation between what is benign versus more sinister disease is essential for optimal management and protection of adjacent critical structures—orbit and skull base. This book is divided into 7 sections following as normal anatomy and imaging, inflammatory nasal conditions, tumor and tumor-like conditions, trauma, congenital or pediatric diseases, systemic disorders or surrounding structures involving PNS, and clinico-radiological approach, which are further divided into 28 chapters. This book is not intended to be a detailed text on sinus imaging but it will help the busy radiologists and surgeons in interpreting images of the paranasal sinuses. The variety of illustrative cases and proposed structured reporting format are aimed at this.
