title: Computed tomography of the paranasal sinuses, nasopharynx, and soft tissues of the neck.
abstract: A number of cases are presented illustrating the value of computed tomography in the investigation of mass lesions involving the paranasal sinuses, nasopharynx, and soft tissues of the neck. Rapid advances in CT technology now underway will alter our approach to the investigation of certain diseases in these locations.
