  • Title: Opaque maxillary antrum: a pictorial review.
    Author: Whyte A, Chapeikin G.
    Journal: Australas Radiol; 2005 Jun; 49(3):203-13. PubMed ID: 15932462.
    Abstract:
    The demonstration of an opaque antrum on a plain radiograph or cross-sectional imaging leads to consideration of an extensive differential diagnosis. Relevant clinical details narrow the differential and include the patient's age, signs and symptoms, a history of recent trauma, prior surgery or dental treatment. Computed tomography remains the most useful technique in coming to a specific diagnosis. Magnetic resonance imaging adds specificity in a few selected situations and is required in conjunction with CT in the staging of malignant tumours.
