21.1 Introduction
Imaging of paranasal sinuses forms an important component of examination and preoperative planning for any surgical intervention. Evaluation of the paranasal sinuses involves assessment of two components: the sinus contents, including the mucosa, and the bony walls including vessels. Normal sinus mucosa is very thin and is not seen on CT or MRI, and CT or MRI readily reveals the presence of a normally aerated sinus, mucosal thickening (chronic sinusitis, retention cysts, or polyps), or an air-uid level.
CT scan is the modality of choice for assess-
ment of normal anatomy and pathology of sinuses

and is routinely performed prior to any sinus sur­geries. With the advent of multidetector com­puted tomography (MDCT), imaging of paranasal sinuses prior to functional endoscopic sinus sur­gery (FESS) has become mandatory. Multiplanar imaging, particularly coronal reformations, offers precise information regarding the anatomy of the sinuses and its variations, which is an essential requisite before surgery.
The success of functional endoscopic surgery depends on adequate knowledge of the compli­cated anatomy of the paranasal sinuses. Certain anatomic variations are thought to be predispos­ing factors for the development of sinus diseases, and thus, it becomes necessary for the surgeon to be aware of these variations, especially if the patient is a candidate for functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS).
21.2 Technique ofCT Scan
forFESS
At our institution, we performed the scan with multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) with the patient in supine position with 1 mm thick overlapping axial slices.
Axial images of the sinuses are acquired with 0.5 mm collimation, and from this raw data, sagittal and coronal reformations are obtained using both soft tissue and bone win­dow algorithms.

21.2.1 Anatomy andIts Variation
The lateral nasal wall contains three bulbous pro­jections, namely the superior, middle, and infe­rior turbinates (conchae), which divide the nasal cavity into superior, middle, and inferior meatuses.
The superior meatus drains the posterior eth-
moid air cells.
The middle meatus drains the frontal sinus via the nasofrontal recess, the maxillary sinus via the maxillary ostium (Hiatus semilunaris), and the anterior ethmoid air cells via the ethmoid cell ostia.
The nasolacrimal duct drains into the inferior meatus.
Sphenoethmoidal recess is a small area above superior concha and receives the opening of sphenoid air sinus.
CT scan is the gold-standard investigation in all sinus diseases [1, 2].
U. Momin et al.
21.3 Ostiomeatal Unit
The osteomeatal unit (OMU) (Fig.21.1) includes the
1. Maxillary sinus ostium
2. Ethmoid infundibulum
3. Anterior ethmoid air cells, and
4. Frontal recess
The UP prevents the direct contact of the inspired air with the maxillary sinus, acting like a shield, and plays a role in mucociliary activity. The UP is a thin, semi-circular bony process of variable length and covered with the mucosa.
21.3.1 Ethmoidal Cells [35]
Ethmoidal cells according to pneumatization are classied as
1. Agger nasi
2. Onodi cells
3. Hilar cells
4. Bulla ethmoidalis
Fig. 21.1 Uncinate Process, UP (arrow), Maxillary
infundibulum (block arrow), and OMU (dotted circle)
Fig. 21.2 AN (agger nasi) cell, deviated nasal septum
(red arrow), and septal spur (red arrow head)
21.3.2 Agger Nasi Cells Fig.21.2
This cell is present in nearly all patients and is an ethmoturbinal remnant. It is the most anterior ethmoidal air cell and extends anteriorly into the lacrimal bone [6, 7]. A good view of frontal recess [8, 9] is obtained when the agger nasi cells

are opened. Thus, its size may directly inuence the patency of the frontal recess and the anterior middle meatus. It forms the anterior and inferior wall of the frontal recess, and the surgical access to recess is via the agger nasi.
21.3.3 Onodi Cells Fig.21.3
These are posterior ethmoidal cells extending into the sphenoid bone, either adjacent to or impinging upon the optic nerve [10]. When these Onodi cells abut or surround the optic nerve, the nerve is at risk when surgical excision of these cells is performed. It is also a potential cause of incomplete sphenoidectomy.
21.3.4 Haller Cells Fig.21.4
These are also called infraorbital ethmoid cells and are pneumatized ethmoid air cells. These cells contribute to the narrowing of the infundib­ulum and may compromise the ostium of the maxillary sinus, thus contributing to recurrent maxillary sinusitis [1113].
These cells may contribute to narrowing of the infundibulum (Fig.21.5).
Ethmoid bulla (Fig.21.6) is the largest ante­rior ethmoid air cells.
It is the roof of the hiatus semilunaris and pos­terior ethmoid infundibulum.

tal cranial fossa in superior with base should be claried in preoperative CT.
The sphenoethmoidal recess, also called the posterior ostiomeatal unit, drains the posterior sinuses (posterior ethmoidal and sphenoid) (Fig.21.7).

21.4 The Frontalethmoidal (Kuhn) Cells [15]
Fig. 21.9 Type 3 frontal cell (red arrow) and Agger nasi
(yellow)
Type 2: Two or more cells superior to the ANC
that may or may not extend into the frontal sinus.
Type 3: Single frontal cell superior to the ANC
There are various accessory air cells in the fron­toethmoidal region that may or may not be pres­ent. It is important to work out the drainage pathway of the frontal sinus around these cells.
Frontalethmoidal air cells, also known as
that extends into the frontal sinus (Fig.
Type 4: Completely contained in the frontal
sinus.
Radiological characteristics of some diseases
are as follows.
Kuhn air cells, are categorized into four types depending on their number and degree of exten­sion into the frontal sinus.
21.4.1 Inverted Papilloma
Type 1 (most common): Single cell superior to the ANC that does not extend into the frontal sinus (i.e., remains below the “beak”).
• Inverted papilloma are benign tumors of unknown etiology characterized by strong

potential for local destruction, high rate of recurrence, and malignant potential.
• They display characteristic radiological nd­ings [16].
CT characteristics include (Fig.21.10)
• Heterogeneous enhancement
• Sclerosis and erosion of the bones
• Periosteal thickening
• Osteoblastic rimming and immature bone for­mation which helps in prediction of site of attachment
21.4.2 Osteitis Sign (Fig.21.11)
• Presence of thickening of sinus wall compared to the contra lateral site
• Osteogenesis and thickening of the bone or sclerosis
MRI pattern includes (Fig.21.12)
• Convoluted cerebriform pattern on MRI
• T1 and T2
T1: isointense to muscle
T2 generally hyperintense to muscle alternat­ing hypointense lines
T1 C+ (Gd) heterogeneous enhancement alternating hypointense lines

21.5 Allergic Fungal Sinusitis
21.13) [2024]
(Fig.
Allergic fungal sinusitis (AFS) represents dis­tinct forms of chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyposis characterized by high recurrence.
Imaging characteristic of AFS includes:
Double-density shadow on CT sinus, and the high-density shadow is produced by high-density minerals, that is, manganese, aluminum, and cal­cium concentrated by fungal concretions.

Expansile destruction of the paranasal sinuses. MRI characteristic of allergic fungal sinusitis
(Fig.
21.14):
Hypointensity on T1WI and T2WI is the most
common nding.
T1: hypointense inamed mucosal thickness.
It can have multiple T1 appearances.
T2: usually a hyperintense peripheral inamed
mucosal thickness.
Low T2 signal or signal void is due to high concentration of metals such as iron, magnesium, and calcium concentrated by fungi and high pro­tein and low water content in allergic mucin.
T1 C+ (Gd):
• An inamed mucosal lining has contrast
enhancement
• No enhancement in the canter
21.5.1 Neoplasms (Fig.21.15a, b) [23, 24]
Various nasal neoplasms include lymphoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and esthesioneuroblas­toma (Fig.21.16).
They all show extensive bony destruction with enhancement on contrast.

21.6 Vessels inParanasal Sinuses
21.7 Anterior Ethmoidal Artery
(Fig.21.17)
Major vessels seen on the plane CT scan are anterior ethoidal artery, posterior ethmoidal artery, sphenopalatine artery, and carotid artery.
Anterior ethmoidal artery (AEA) is a branch of ophthalmic artery given in the orbit. It exists between the superior oblique and medial rectus.
238
U. Momin et al.

In its intranasal route, the anterior ethmoid artery lies inside a bony canal called anterior ethmoidal canal that leaves the orbit through the anterior ethmoidal foramen.
Anterior ethmoidal artery is seen at the ante­rior ethmoidal roof as marked in the image.

The posterior ethmoidal artery (PEA) is a branch of ophthalmic artery passes through the posterior ethmoidal canal and enters the dura at the poste­rior margin of the cribriform plate and supplies the dura of the medial third of the oor of the anterior cranial fossa. PEA is seen at the roof of posterior ethmoidal cells and most of the time is covered with bone.
21.9 Sphenopalatine Artery
21.19)
(Fig.
Sphenopalatine artery (SPA) is a terminal branch of the internal maxillary artery originating from the external carotid artery system. The SPA is the major blood vessel to the nasal cavity mucosa: supplying the superior, middle, and inferior turbi­nate; lateral nasal wall; and nasal septum. The
