Computed Tomography (CT) plays an important diagnostic role in patients with sinonasal diseases and determines the treatment. The CT images clearly show fine structural architecture of bony anatomy thereby determining various anatomical variation, extent of disease and characterization of various inflammatory, benign, and malignant sinonasal diseases. CT is the modality of choice in imaging the sinonasal region for evaluating various congenital, inflammatory, benign, and malignant pathologies and associated complications thereby planning the further management of the patient.
