Obliteration of maxillary and sphenoid sinuses in Gaucher's disease.
Paranasal sinus obliteration is described in a patient with adult type Gaucher's disease. Plain radiographs and computed tomography showed obliteration of paranasal sinuses due to medullary expansion of surrounding bone. The mandible and maxilla are rarely affected in Gaucher's disease and obliteration of paranasal sinuses due to bony expansion has not previously been reported.
