Surgery for
paranasal sinus mucocoeles: Efficacy of endonasal micro-endoscopic management and long-term results of 185 patients.
Among
paranasal sinus neoplasms causing orbital manifestations, 3(21.42%) had ethmoidal sinus tumours, another 3 (21.42%) had maxillary sinus tumours, while 1(7.14%) patient had frontal sinus malignancy.
Endoscopic approach for excision of
paranasal sinus osteomas, offers a minimally invasive alternative, The advantage being excellent cosmetic results, shorter duration of operative time, and allows closer and more direct visualization during surgery.

Patient was further investigated with x-ray
paranasal sinus which showed haziness in the left maxillary sinus.
(1-8) When
paranasal sinus involvement has occurred, the most common sites of origin have been the frontal sinus and the ethmoid sinus.(4) In a review of the literature published in 1991, Hartman and Stankiewicz found only 20 reported cases of cholesteatoma of any paranasal sinuses.
INTRODUCTION:
Paranasal sinus disease is a common clinical problem.
One hundred patients with clinical features of chronic rhinosinusitis not responding to medical management were subjected to Computed Tomography (CT) of the
paranasal sinus region.
The tumors were located in the nasal cavity in 7 patients and in a
paranasal sinus in the other 3.
CT provides excellent anatomical soft tissue and bony details, objective evidence for the diagnosis and staging, and an important "roadmap" to
paranasal sinus anatomy.
It is shown that there is a significant correlation between the prevalence of incidental
paranasal sinus abnormalities (IPSA) detected in MRI and the presence of clinical symptoms associated with
paranasal sinus diseases.
