Acromegaly is a rare disease, which symptoms are caused by excess secretion of a growth hormone (GH) from the anterior pituitary benign tumor - adenoma. Authors present an evaluation of computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance (MR) images of temporal bone and paranasal sinuses of patients with acromegaly.1. In all patients with acromegaly, morphological changes in paranasal sinuses were shown. They were mostly pronounced within the maxillary sinuses including the mucosa thickening up to 6 mm and encysted fluid occurrence. 2. CT of temporal bone did not reveal structural changes of internal and median ear. 3. There is a need for further studies on hearing impairment in patients with acromegaly. |
