CT of the head –
The computed tomography of the head reveals mild generalized and bilateral thickening of the mucosal lining of the nasal turbinates within the mid third of the nasal cavities. There is no turbinate or bone destruction, no gravity dependent accumulation of nasal secretions is noted. There is no evidence of nasopharyngeal stenosis or aberrant nasal conchal growth. Scant fluid attenuating secretions are noted within both frontal sinuses.
Potential underlying causes include bacterial rhinitis and viral rhinitis with bacterial
superinfection. Typical findings of fungal rhinitis are lacking here. Theoretically
emerging fungal rhinitis/recent fungal superinfection cannot be ruled out entirely.
Recent antimicrobial treatment may reduce the degree of mucosal thickening and
amount of nasal/sinus secretions.
Rhinoscopy with sampling to obtain bacterial and fungal cultures & histopathology is
advised for further definition and to adjust the therapeutic management appropriately.
