Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Anatomical variations in the sinus region are not necessarily pathological, but they may complicate the anatomy of the lateral nasal wall and contribute to the occurrence or persistence of chronic inflammatory diseases. In this study the interpretations of initial coronal CT scans were significantly altered following multiplanar CT-reconstruction. Assuming that a multiplanar analysis includes coronal views, we may conclude that imaging in three planes yields more information and provides a substantial benefit in the planning and performance of a surgical procedure on the paranasal sinuses.
