[Radiographic analysis for infarcted angiomatous polyps in maxillary sinus].

Objective:To explore the CT, MRI manifestations of the polyp of maxillary sinus cavernous hemangioma. To summarize the imaging characteristics and it may assist doctors to diagnose infarcted angiomatous polyps in maxillary sinus with further developing.Method:A retrospective analysis of the CT, MRI manifestations and clinical analysis about 27 cases confirmed by surgery pathology who are maxillary sinus cavernous hemangioma.Result:Twenty-seven cases were unilateral diseases, and clinical manifestations were nasal congestion. Twenty-seven cases were proceeded CT scan, of which 9 cases of double-phase dynamic enhanced CT examination, 11 cases with MRI examination, of which 6 cases with MRI enhanced examination. CT scan showed unilateral maxillary sinus full of mixed density and involving the nasal cavity, maxillary sinus abnormal expansion of deformation, with local bone resorption damage in 27 cases, but without violation the adjacent tissue. CT enhanced scan of lesions shows that the spotted blood vessels were significantly enhanced and progressive enhancement. MRI can clearly identifylesions and obstructive sinusitis and morbid shape was irregular with mixed signal. T2WI showed high and low mixed ring signals, and the edge of the irregular low signal ring, with enhanced nodules and patchy unevenly enhanced.Conclusion:Most polypof maxillary sinus cavernous hemangioma clinical manifestations are unilateral nasal obstruction. CT shows the maxillary sinus irregular expands and compression bone absorption with a prompt action to this disease.Vascular-like enhancement and progressive enhancement are characteristic enhanced CT manifestations of this disease. MRI can better show the lesion range. T2WI with high and low ring mixed signals, low ring signals, and mostly enhanced nodules, uneven enhancement of plaqueare characteristic imaging manifestations.
