[The importance of CT examination in the diagnosis and therapy of rhino-otogenic intracranial complications].

Computed tomography in the diagnosis of rhino-otogenic intracranial inflammatory complications made it possible to reduce significantly the morbidity and mortality. It provides more reliable information, than hitherto used pretentious and invasive methods, on the development of inflammatory foci, the dynamics of their development, localization and extent. ⋯ However, false negative findings may also be encountered. In those instances, with regard to the course and symptomatology of these complications, CT must be repeated or another diagnostic method must be selected.

AbstractComputed tomography in the diagnosis of rhino-otogenic intracranial inflammatory complications made it possible to reduce significantly the morbidity and mortality. It provides more reliable information, than hitherto used pretentious and invasive methods, on the development of inflammatory foci, the dynamics of their development, localization and extent. In correlation with the clinical course and laboratory findings it makes it possible to select an optimal time for operation and to select an optimal surgical approach, or in exceptional instances a conservative procedure. However, false negative findings may also be encountered. In those instances, with regard to the course and symptomatology of these complications, CT must be repeated or another diagnostic method must be selected.
