[Investigation of inflammatory paranasal sinus diseases with scintigraphy (author's transl)].

In the course of inflammatory diseases affecting the paranasal sinuses, a number of complications may occur. One of those is the involvement of neighbouring skeletal portions. By this study evidence is given, that there is a high rate of inflammation, spreading to adjoining bone areas. This applis also to early stages and first manifestations. Especially in cases of surgery, complete recovery is rare. The pattern of chronic recurrent osteomyelitis may develop.
