title: [Use of diagnostic ultrasound of sinus in the paranasal sinus disease].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To utilize the diagnostic A ultrasound of sinuses in the diagnosis of paranasal sinus disease.
  
  
  METHODS
  Through history enquirement, careful clinical otorhinolaryngological examination, X-ray examination of paranasal sinus, CT, maxillary sinus puncture and examination of the diagnostic ultrasound of sinus, we observed 115 patients with paranasal sinus disease and compared them with 22 normal people who were in control group.
  
  
  RESULTS
  In normal people, the according rate between ultrasound examination and clinicaly diagnostic methods, include history enquirement, otorhinolaryngological examination, X-ray examination, CT and maxillary puncture, is 100%. And in the group of patients with paranasal disease, the according rate is 62.5%-92%.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The diagnostic A ultrasound of sinus has high accuracy, the control is easy, the cost is relatively lower, it can be used repeatedly and do no harm to the patient's health. It is a good method and assistant technigue in the diagnosis of frontal and maxillary sinus disease.
