Calcification in chronic maxillary sinusitis: comparison of CT findings with histopathologic results.

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: It is important to differentiate fungal from nonfungal sinusitis in order to determine the optimal treatment for chronic sinusitis. The purpose of this study was to describe the CT findings of calcifications in chronic fungal and nonfungal maxillary sinusitis. METHODS: Five hundred ten patients with pathologically proved chronic maxillary sinusitis were studied with unenhanced CT before undergoing sinonasal surgery. In 36 patients, the CT scans were reviewed retrospectively to ascertain the shape and location of intrasinus calcifications. RESULTS: Calcifications were found in 20 (51%) of 39 patients with fungal sinusitis and in 16 (3%) of 471 patients with nonfungal sinusitis. Direct histopathologic correlation was performed in two of 16 patients with nonfungal sinusitis who had intrasinus calcification. The location of intrasinus calcification was central in 95% of the patients with fungal sinusitis and peripheral in 81% of those with nonfungal sinusitis. Although calcifications with a nodular or linear shape were seen in both fungal and nonfungal sinusitis, fine punctate type calcifications were seen only in those with fungal sinusitis (50%) and round or eggshell type calcifications only in those with nonfungal sinusitis (19%). CONCLUSION: Intrasinus calcifications are different in location and shape between fungal and nonfungal maxillary sinusitis. Although intrasinus calcification is uncommon in nonfungal sinusitis, the CT finding of intrasinus calcification may be helpful for differentiating fungal from nonfungal maxillary sinusitis.

Mycotic sinusitis. Contribution of x-ray computed tomography]

The authors present three cases of fungal sinusitis. Fungal sinusitis is a relatively rare disease that affects more commonly immunosuppressed and diabetic individuals. The radiographic signs are non-specific. Nevertheless, some CT findings are highly suspicious: unilateral lesions of one or more sinuses; nodular mucoperiosteal thickening, and, or focal areas of bone destruction; very dense, intrasinus concretions. Air-fluid levels are very uncommon, and when present suggest a nonfungal bacterial infection. In most cases, a combination of these findings suggests fungal disease. The clinical hallmark is chronic sinusitis that fails to respond to antibiotic therapy.     

Value of CT in allergic fungal sinusitis (AFS)

PURPOSE: To assess the value of CT for diagnosis and follow-up of AFS. Evaluation of characteristic CT features of AFS. METHODS: Retrospective review of 12 cases of AFS presenting with all published diagnostic criteria (1) chronic rhinosinusitis refractory to standard management (2) CT features of chronic sinusitis (3) anatomopathologic, immunoallergologic, biochemical and mycologic criteria. CT findings were correlated with surgical findings and reviewed by one ENT and two radiologists to assess the diagnostic value of different CT features, alone or in association. RESULTS: AFS was isolated in 6 cases, and associated with allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (ABPA) in 6 cases. CT showed pan- or polysinusitis, unilateral or bilateral, with mucosal thickening, sinus opacification frequently heterogeneous, bony changes, fluid trapping, and with pseudotumoral appearance in 3 cases. CONCLUSION: CT findings alone are not specific or pathognomonic but may suggest AFS in the correct clinical or immunoallergologic setting. It may alert the physician to the need for complementary work-up, exclude the presence of associated lung disease, and better adapt treatment and follow-up.

CT and MRI features in Bipolaris fungal sinusitis

Bipolaris is an increasingly recognized cause of fungal sinusitis. Reports of imaging features are sparse. Our purpose was to review the imaging features in patients with Bipolaris fungal sinusitis. A review of our data showed seven patients with culture-proven Bipolaris fungal sinusitis. Computed tomography of the paranasal sinuses in all the patients and MRI in five patients were analysed for the location, nature, extent of the disease and density/signal characteristics on CT/MRI. The sphenoid and posterior ethmoid sinuses were most often involved (six of seven), followed by the anterior ethmoid sinus (five of seven), frontal sinus (four of seven) and maxillary sinus (three of seven) involvement. Five of seven cases had bilateral disease. Secretions were seen to fill the sinus and were expansile in nature in six of seven cases. Bony erosion was noted in all the patients. Air-fluid levels and bony sclerosis were rarely seen. Computed tomography showed central hyperdensity in all the cases. In the corresponding MR images (n = 5), the sinus contents appeared hyperintense on T1-weighted images and hypointense on T2-weighted images. Extension into the nasal cavity was found in six of seven cases. Five of seven cases had intracranial (extradural) spread. Intraorbital extension was seen in three of seven cases, with associated optic nerve compression in two. All the patients responded to surgical debridement, and systemic antifungal therapy was not required. Bipolaris fungal sinusitis typically presents with an allergic fungal sinusitis picture with expansile sinus opacification and bony erosions. There is central hyperdensity on CT scan, which appears hyperintense on T1-weighted and hypointense on T2-weighted MR images.

Fungal sinusitis: diagnosis with CT and MR imaging

Of 293 patients who underwent computed tomography (CT), surgery, and pathologic examination for chronic sinusitis, 25 had a diagnosis of fungal sinusitis at pathologic examination. Of these, 22 had foci of increased attenuation at CT (in four patients the mean representative CT number [Hounsfied unit] was 122.2 HU [SD, 8.2 HU]), and three did not. Of the 22, 19 patients (76%) met the CT criterion of this study (there was a 12% false-positive and a 12% false-negative diagnostic rate). Six of the 19 patients and one additional patient underwent magnetic resonance (MR) imaging, and all demonstrated remarkably hypointense signal characteristics on T2-weighted images. The findings at MR imaging therefore appear more characteristic of fungal sinusitis than the findings at CT. Furnace atomic absorption spectrometry showed increased concentrations of iron and manganese in mycetoma compared with their concentrations in bacterially infected mucus. This finding and the presence of calcium in the fungal concretion may explain the hypointense T2-weighted signal on MR images.

Radiological imaging of inflammatory lesions in the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses

Paranasal sinus development and pneumatisation variants are described, and rhinosinusitis and different patterns of inflammatory sinonasal diseases are reviewed. Other inflammatory sinonasal diseases, e.g., fungal sinusitis, mucocele, pyocele and sinonasal manifestations in systemic diseases, are briefly described. Computed tomography (CT) is the primary modality in diagnosing and mapping suspected inflammatory sinonasal disease. Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging is complementary to CT if fungal sinusitis, pyocele or malignancy are suspected.

Periantral soft-tissue infiltration and its relevance to the early detection of invasive fungal sinusitis: CT and MR findings.

PURPOSEOur goal was to illustrate the relevance of periantral soft-tissue infiltration to the early diagnosis of invasive fungal sinusitis and to describe variations in the appearance of normal periantral soft tissues.METHODSWe reviewed two cases of pathologically proved invasive maxillary fungal sinusitis in which the sole imaging finding suggestive of invasive disease was periantral soft-tissue infiltration. Variations in the CT appearance of normal periantral soft tissues were studied in 112 patients by assessing the appearance of the fat planes along the anterior and posterior bony antral walls and by noting the presence of infraorbital and distal internal maxillary artery branch vessels within the anterior and posterior periantral fat planes, respectively.RESULTSNone of the 112 patients had findings that suggested, or that could mimic, soft-tissue infiltration in the anterior periantral soft tissues. In only one (1%) of the 112 patients was there a loss of visibility of the posterior periantral fat plane that was not clearly attributable to the otherwise normal-appearing posterior periantral soft tissues.CONCLUSIONInfiltration of the periantral fat planes may represent the earliest imaging evidence of invasive fungal disease. When encountered as the sole radiologic finding, periantral soft-tissue infiltration should suggest the possibility of invasive fungal sinusitis in the appropriate clinical setting.
