An Atlas of Imaging of the Paranasal Sinuses

Introduces the radiologist to the essential concepts of functional endoscopic sinus surgery and points out the relevant abnormalities of the anatomical structures that predispose recurring sinusitus.

---

Functional endoscopic sinus surgery has revolutionized the investigation, diagnosis, management and surgical treatment of patients with sinus disease. Crucial to the diagnostic evaluation of these patients is a two-pronged investigation, consisting of a history and an endoscopic nasal examination which is then followed by a high resolution CT scan of the paranasal sinuses. This concise atlas introduces the radiologist to the essential concepts of functional endoscopic sinus surgery and points out the relevant abnormalities of the anatomical structures that predispose recurring sinusitus. This book is aimed at otorhynolaryngology surgeons, radiologists specializing in paranasal sinus disease, maxillofacial surgeons, and head and neck cancer surgeons.
