Use of computer assisted tomography in the diagnosis of lesions in and around the sphenoid sinus.
The use of the CT scanner and its contribution to the diagnosis of lesions in and around the sphenoid sinus has been reviewed. The usefulness of this new imaging technique is discussed. Five representative cases demonstrating special diagnostic tests in conjunction with the CT scanner are discussed. The CT scanner combines low cost with minimal risk to the patient. It is a valuable tool in the investigation of the sphenoid sinus.
