Computed Tomography to Diagnose Paranasal Sinus Chemical Burns and Tissue Damage: A Case Report

Chemical burns of the paranasal sinus are rare; therefore, assessment methods for treatment of and prognoses for the exposure site are unknown. We experienced a case in which a hydrochloric acid burn of the paranasal sinuses caused irreversible tissue damage. Computed tomography is useful for identi...

Zusammenfassung:Chemical burns of the paranasal sinus are rare; therefore, assessment methods for treatment of and prognoses for the exposure site are unknown. We experienced a case in which a hydrochloric acid burn of the paranasal sinuses caused irreversible tissue damage. Computed tomography is useful for identifying the exposure site and assessing tissue damage over time. Identification of the exposure site and proactive washing are recommended for patients with chemical burns of the paranasal sinuses. Laryngoscope, 131:E2490–E2493, 2021
