What Do These Following CT Scan Findings Indicate?

Posted on Thu, 5 Jan 2017

Question: I just got these CT results back and I don't meet with my ENT until the 21st. Could this be the cause of the dizziness I feel everytime I get up and walk? What does the results mean?
Helical noncontrast CT images of the paranasal sinuses were
obtained with sagittal and coronal reformats.

the ethmoid and maxillary sinuses. Patent ostiomeatal units.
Reversed S-shaped curvature of nasal septum. Moderately enlarged
nasal turbinates. Aggar Nasi cell. Nasopharyngeal soft tissues
are not enlarged

Brief Answer:
Your CT scan is mostly normal

Detailed Answer:
Hello

The ct scan report looks more or less normal except for mild sinus inflammation , which can be normal in many patients.

You do not need medications for it and can be managed with steam inhalation thrice a day for 2 weeks.

Your cause for giddiness cannot be due to this ct finding and I suggest you meet a neurologist. He will examine you and guide you further

Take care
