title: [Ultrasonics in the diagnosis and follow-up of tumors of the inner nose and paranasal sinuses].
abstract: Ultrasound diagnosis is not applicable in diagnostics and monitoring of tumors of the inner nose; the B-mode can be used only if the lumen of the nose is completely filled out by the tumor. In case of the paranasal sinuses the A-mode imaging furnishes a pattern containing back wall echoes and intermediate echoes which necessitates further diagnostic measures. Thanks to the B-mode imaging it is possible to determine the tumor extent and an eventual infiltration into the surrounding tissues. The pre- and posttherapeutic diagnosis of tumors of the inner nose and the paranasal sinuses contains also an investigation of the neck in order to detect possible metastases.
