The Use of Magnetic Resonance and Computed Tomography in the Management of a Patient With Intrasinus Hemorrhage

Abstract
• The judicious use of computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging in a critically ill patient with leukemia is discussed to demonstrate how a rapid and accurate diagnosis of intrasinus hemorrhage was established, thereby avoiding an unnecessary invasive procedure in this high-risk patient. In this clinical setting, a brief T1-weighted study distinguished between blood and infection. (Arch Otolaryngol Head Neck Surg 1988;114:200-202)
