Evaluation of mucoceles of the paranasal sinuses with computed tomography

JR Hesselink, AL Weber, PF New, KR Davis, GH Roberson and JM Taveras

Eighteen patients with mucoceles of the paranasal sinuses were studied by plain radiography, pluridirectional tomography, and computed tomography (CT). Sixteen of the lesions 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. Both transverse and coronal CT are essential for adequate evaluation.
