The efficacy of cotton ball packing after endoscopic sinus surgery: A prospective, randomized, controlled trial.

Objective: The blocking of airflow into sinonasal cavity may decrease postoperative crusting and the development of adhesions. The purpose of this study was to investigate the efficacy of cotton ball packing in patients following endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS).

Methods: Thirty nine patients with chronic rhinosinusitis requiring the same extent of ESS were included.

Differential Diagnosis of Sinonasal Lymphoma and Squamous Cell Carcinoma on CT, MRI, and PET/CT.

Objective The purpose of this study was to analyze computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance (MR) images and to evaluate the maximum standardized uptake value (SUV max) of positron emission tomography (PET)/CT parameters between sinonasal non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) and squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), knowing the imaging features that distinguish sinonasal NHL from SCC. Study Design Case series with chart review. Setting University tertiary care facility.
