概要

論文の詳細を見る
Tumors arising in the epipharyngeal space and skull base were satisfactorily located by a combination of routine clinical examinations and CT scanning in 10 patients who were seen at the ENT clinic of Osaka University Hospital during the period from January 1979 to June 1980.1) Routine physical examinations alone for neurological damage provides a certain amount of information on the extension of the tumors.2) Axial projection has inherent shortcomings in that it gives no well-defined image of involvement within the maxillary sinus, due to the overlapping mandible and maxilla, and that it forces the patient to assume an uncomfortable position.3) CT scanning surpasses conventional radiological examination in that it gives lower irradiation does and that the use of contrast enhancement gives better images.
