Abstract

Introduction: Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is cancer come from nasopharynx epithelium. Nasopharyngeal carcinoma is a frequent cancer in Indonesia and in the fifth position for the most common tumor and first position for the most common malignancy in the head and neck. The signs and symptoms of nasopharyngeal carcinoma can be unspecific. Radiological examination of suspect NPC is an important diagnostic investigation. Staging of nasopharyngeal carcinoma is based on the analysis of the primary tumor, lymph node involvement, and the status of distant metastasis (M category). Case report:  We reported three patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma in Adam Malik General Hospital that was diagnosed by histopathology biopsy and undergo Nasopharynx Computed tomography (CT) examination. The study aimed to present CT findings of the patients. Conclusion: Imaging modalities include contrast enhanced computed tomography (CT) has been used for staging and evaluation. The main objective of the radiological examination are provide a more definite diagnosis of suspected tumor in the nasopharynx., determine the more precise location of the tumor, determine the size of the tumor, and finding and determine the extent of the spread of the tumor to the surrounding tissue, where extensive invasion can be found as anteriorly, lаterаlly, posteriorly, inferiorly, and superiorly

Abstract

Background: Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is a common sinonasal inflammatory disease, with global prevalence ~10,9% (European Position Paper on Rhinosinusitis and Nasal Polyps 2021). CRS pathogenesis is associated with impaired osteomeatal complex (OMC) drainage, influenced by anatomical variations, e.g. ethmoidal infundibulum (EI) length and width, uncinate process (UP) type, and nasal septal deviation (NSD) degree. This study aims to evaluate the relationship between anatomical variations of the OMC (EI, UP, and NSD) and the occurrence of maxillary CRS based on paranasal sinus (PNS) CT. Method: cross-sectional design involved 100 maxillary sinuses from patients who underwent PNS CT at Prof. Dr. Chairuddin Panusunan Lubis Hospital. Statistical analysis was performed using Chi-square and Eta correlation tests. Result: Mean EI length in CRS (5.9 ± 2.7 mm) was shorter than in non-CRS (7.8 ± 2.6 mm, p<0.001), while EI width was greater (2.8 ± 1.1 mm vs. 2.3 ± 0.5 mm, p<0.05). UP type A was most frequent in CRS (47%, p<0.001). NSD ≥10° was more common in CRS (31%) than in non-CRS (13%, p<0.05). Conclusion: Anatomical variations of OMC play an important role in predisposition to maxillary CRS. Most patients showed Keros type 2 and Gera type 2, indicating a moderate risk of complications during functional endoscopic sinus surgery. Comprehensive evaluation using PNS CT is essential for safe and effective surgical planning.
