CT of the nasal cavity.
CT demonstrates nasal anatomy extremely well. The intimate relationship of the nasal cavity to the cerebral, orbital, paranasal sinus, nasopharyngeal, and oral tissues is noted. Examples of benign and malignant neoplasms, inflammatory processes, including intrinsic and extrinsic mass lesions are utilized to demonstrate the value of CT in assessing the nasal cavity in conjunction with its surrounding tissues. Congenital and traumatic lesions also are demonstrated to the same advantage.
