Summary

Before performing endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS-Endoscopic Sinus Surgery), every candidate for surgery is referred to perform a sinus CT scan of the sinuses. Because of the complicated anatomy of the sinuses and their proximity to vital organs such as the brain, eye, and carotid artery, the surgeon use the CT imaging during surgery to adjust the anatomy and to avoid complications such as blindness, brain damage and massive bleeding (0.3%). Sometimes the CT is integrated into a navigation system, although there is no evidence that the use of navigation systems reduces the rate of complications.

The aim of our study is to examine whether ESS can be performed in chronic sinusitis patients using MRI, with CT being used as a backup only.

Conditions

  • Chronic Sinusitis

Interventions

OTHER

MRI

candidates for ESS will be referred to conventional CT scans of the sinuses. If surgery is to be performed, the patients will sign an informed consent and be referred for a sinus MRI.
