Magnetic Resonance Imaging in the Evaluation of Sinusitis Related Complications in Children
Abstract
Abs tractAim: Acute sinusitis in children can occasionally lead to orbital or intracranial complications as a result of contiguous spread of infection.We aimed to evaluate the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) features and distribution patterns of these complications in pediatric patients with acute paranasal sinusitis.Methods: This retrospective analytical study included 32 pediatric patients (aged 0-18 years) who underwent contrast-enhanced brain and diffusion-weighted MRI between May 2017 and April 2024 for suspected sinusitis-related complications.Demographic data (age, sex), sinus involvement, and MRI findings were evaluated.Statistical analyses were performed using chi-square tests and Student's t-tests; a p-value of
