Question 4

pilonidal sinus, why mri scan?

Accepted Answer

Sometimes: It is difficult to tell how deep or extensive your sinus tracts laterally.  Or your surgeon is really not sure what else it could be.  Ask the doctor who ordered the test why he suggested it.

Question 5

radiology report mri: "bubbly residue" left sinus cavity, what could that be?

Accepted Answer

Probably mucous: The paranasal sinuses are usually air-filled but it is not uncommon  to see small amounts of fluid and/or mucous, which can occasionally have a frothy appearance on a ct scan.  "bubbly residue" is admittedly not standard medical terminology.

Question 6

mri notes small layering fluids in sphenoid sinus:what might thisbe?wouldnormal  sinus mucous layer?

Accepted Answer

Sinusitis: Layering fluids in a sinus on MRI is an indication of sinusitis, but anything that causes swelling and blockage of the normal drainage of a sinus will cause fluid to collect. Most common causes include viral upper respiratory infections (colds), allergies, and bacterial infections. Rarely fungal infections occur.

Question 7

mri says, minor mucosal disease in the sphenoid sinus. minor sphenoid sinus mucosal thickening. should i be concerned?

Accepted Answer

Usually no: Mild mucosal thickening in the sinuses is commonly seen on MRI. It can be the result of allergies. Fluid in the sinuses is more concerning as it can indicate infection (sinusitis)
