MRI sinus sinus
The paranasal sinuses are cavities located inside the bones of the skull. They communicate with the nasopharynx. Sometimes an inflammatory process occurs in them or neoplasms appear that are difficult to diagnose by other methods. Symptoms of sinus disease are often not obvious: just a headache or eye pain. And if the maxillary and frontal sinuses can be examined using X-rays, then the sphenoid sinuses and ethmoidal labyrinths are practically inaccessible to other examination methods, because located deeply.
When is an MRI of the sinuses necessary?
- upper respiratory tract allergies
- suspicion of the presence of neoplasms
- abnormalities in the structure of the skull bones or consequences of trauma
- inflammatory diseases with severe headaches and eye pains
According to the doctor’s indications, it is possible to use a contrast agent (rarely).
