title: Cranal computed tomography: application to otolaryngology.
abstract: Cranial computed tomography (CT) is an effective radiologic method for the evaluation of extracranial and intracranial pathology. Representative cases of extracranial and intracranial pathology of otolaryngic interest are selected from 6,000 CT scans. Pathology of the nasal cavities, paranasal sinuses, orbits, and cerebellopontine angles is demonstrated.
