Brief summary

This study aims to assess the diagnostic performance of CT and MRI in the diagnosis of complications of rhinosinusitis in comparison to clinical and operative findings.

Interventions

RADIATIONMultislice CT scan of the paranasal sinuses.

MSCT scan using GE Revolution Evo 128 multidetector elements scanner (GE Healthcare, Chicago, Illinois, United state) , Toshiba Alexion 16 detector elements scanner (Aplio 500, Toshiba Medical Systems, Otawara-shi, Tochigi 324-8550, Japan). Or Canon Aquilion Prime SP 160 -multidetector- row CT scanner (Canon Medical Systems, Tochigi, Japan) Thin slice Axial scans will be taken at 0.625-1.0 mm slice thickness, commencing from the hard palate till above the end of frontal sinuses, coronal and sagittal multiplanar reconstruction images will be obtained.

RADIATIONMRI examination of the paranasal sinuses

MRI imaging using Philips Achieva 1.5T MRI device (Philips Achieva, Netherlands) or Siemens Magnetom Altea 1.5T MRI device (Siemens Healthineers, Germany) for suspected intracranial and orbital complications.
