For many years, the otolaryngologist has relied mainly on diagnostic radiologic procedures in assessment of diseases of paranasal sinuses.

For the evaluation of diagnostic capacity of ultrasound in maxillary sinus diseases, clinical study was carried out in 82 selected cases, showed radiologic opacification of maxillary sinuses.
