[Roentgenology of the median nasal fistulas (author's transl)].
The diagnosis of fistula of the nose results from the history and inspection of the patient. The radiologist main function is to rule out other diagnoses and to obtain information about location and extension of the fistula-system. This can be obtained by contrast-filling of the fistula-system in a non-infectious interval over thin-catheters or canulas. The Water's view shows whether the fistula reaches of the nasal-septum nor the cribriform-plate. Other diagnoses which have to be excluded are meningoencephalocoeles, mukocoeles and neoplastic diseases. These can be ruled out by tomography of the visceralcranium and the base of the skull.
