Evaluation of Mucoceles of the Paranasal Sinuses with Computed Tomography

Abstract
Patients [18] with mucoceles of the paranasal sinuses were studied by plain radiography, pluridirectional tomography and computed tomography (CT). Of the lesions, 16 had a homogeneous appearance on CT but demonstrated variable absorption characteristics, with acutely infected mucoceles showing rim enhancement. Plain radiography and pluridirectional tomography were usually sufficient for making a diagnosis and defining the extent of the lesion, but CT more accurately demonstrated orbital and intracranial extension. Transverse and coronal CT were essential for adequate evaluation.
