After presenting 3 cases of maxillary sinus mucocele, met with all along 22 years, the authors bring forth some etiopathogenic, clinic and radiologic considerations, shown through the data in literature. They underline the complex, polymorphic, uncharacteristic radiological and clinical aspect. The exploratory puncture is of real help for a precise diagnosis, in this case, and is easy to perform.

[Value of contrastography as a diagnostic means in paranasal sinus diseases]. / Valoarea contrastografiei ca mijloc de diagnostic în afectiunile sinusurilor paranazale.

The authors report on their investigations in contrast phase radiography of the paranasal sinuses, insisting to a greater extent on the data furnished by lipoiodine used as a contrast medium than on the technical aspects. A description is given of the views with a therapeutical indication, but also of the possible diagnostic errors. Particular attention is drawn to the advisability of introducing in current practice the displacement method used for contrast phase radiography of the posterior sinuses, showing their diagnostic and therapeutical advantages.
