Pathogenetic Mechanisms of Hearing Disorders in Benign Rhinosinusal Tumors and the Clinical Value of Ct Scan Findings

Key Points

The research aims to explore the connection between benign rhinosinusoidal tumors and hearing disorders, analyzing CT scan findings and their implications.
Evaluated the morphological types of benign tumors in the nose and paranasal sinuses.
Analyzed CT scan results for tumor detection and localization in 101 patients.
Compared CT scan findings with histopathology results for accuracy assessment.
CT scan correlated with histopathology in 90.9% of cases.
Polyps were identified as the primary cause of hearing loss in one patient group.
Vascular and epithelial tumors were more prevalent in another patient group, indicating varied impacts on hearing.

Abstract

The morphological types of benign tumors located in the nose, paranasal sinuses, and nasopharynx, their features of detection by CT-scan, and their significance as a clinical pathogenetic factor affecting hearing were analyzed. Based on the conclusions of Mouangue-Mbonjo et al. about the correspondence of CT-SCAN results with histopathology in 90.9% of cases, the effectiveness of CT-SCAN in assessing tumor localization and types was also confirmed in this study. The study evaluated 101 patients (groups I and II) based on CT-scan and clinical data. Among them, polyps were the main cause of hearing impairment in group I, while in group II, vascular and epithelial tumors (hemangioma, papilloma, fibroma) prevailed.
