The authors investigated 31 patients suffering from benign and malignant lesions of the paranasal sinuses. Clinical, conventional radiological methods and computed tomography were used. In benign lesions CT added little significant information to that obtained by conventional radiological methods. In malignant lesions, however, CT provides additional valuable information. It gives a clear picture of the posterior, superior and orbital extent of paranasal tumours. It also shows the extent of the tumour into the infratemporal fossa.
作者对31例患有鼻窦良性和恶性病变的患者进行了研究。采用了临床、传统放射学方法和计算机断层扫描。在良性病变中，CT相比传统放射学方法所获信息增加甚少。然而，在恶性病变中，CT能提供额外的有价值信息。它能清晰显示鼻窦肿瘤的后部、上部及眶部范围。还能显示肿瘤侵入颞下窝的范围。
