[CT findings of sinonasal and orbital Wegener's granulomatosis].
We reviewed the CT findings of four cases of Wegener's granulomatosis that presented as inflammatory masses in the sinonasal cavity or orbit. In the present study, an infiltrative nature and homogeneous texture with contrast enhancement were typical of the masses. In addition, the masses were frequently accompanied by infiltration of the pterygopalatine fossa or destruction of adjacent bone. However, no pathognomonic findings were observed.
