A proposal for analyzing the inflammatory and remodeling processes of mucosa in chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyposis through MRI
Objectives
Chronic Rhinosinusitis with Nasal Polyposis (CRSwNP) is a disease characterized by chronic inflammation and tissue remodeling process. The remodeling process in nasal polyps has mainly been studied by histology analysis. However, it is limited to a polyp fragment and requires tissue removal. The present study aims to evaluate the ability of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) to depict and characterize the remodeling process in patients with CRSwNP.
Methods
30 patients that met clinical diagnostic criteria for CRSwNP, without previous history of rhinosinusitis surgery were submitted to MRI scan (conventional, diffusion-weighted and DCE MRI) and compared with polyp tissue histological findings, IL-6 concentrations in the tissue and eosinophil count in the blood. The examinations were evaluated, independently, by two radiologists blinded to other radiological and histological data. The pathologist, blinded to MRI results, also compared the tissue sample from the most central and the most peripheral portion of the polypoid tissue adjacent to the floor of the nasal fossa.
Results
This study demonstrated a characteristic pattern of nasal polyps, whose peripheral portions of nasal polypoid tissue are edematous, whereas the central portions in the middle meatus and in the middle and upper ethmoid are predominantly fibrotic. ADC values found in the most anterior portion of the polyps may be a marker for radiological phenotyping the remodeling process. This non-invasive analysis presented a high degree of agreement in the fibrosis and edema rating by two radiologists and the histological analysis was concordant with the MRI findings. The polyps were characterized as eosinophilic, and no relationship was found between the severity of the eosinophilic inflammatory process or concentration of IL-6 and the remodeling process.
Conclusion
MRI by using T2-weighted imaging sequence and ADCs values allows tissue characterization and is an effective tool for the differentiation of edematous and fibrotic components in CRSwNP.
期刊介绍：
Brazilian Journal of Otorhinolaryngology publishes original contributions in otolaryngology and the associated areas (cranio-maxillo-facial surgery and phoniatrics). The aim of this journal is the national and international divulgation of the scientific production interesting to the otolaryngology, as well as the discussion, in editorials, of subjects of scientific, academic and professional relevance.
The Brazilian Journal of Otorhinolaryngology is born from the Revista Brasileira de Otorrinolaringologia, of which it is the English version, created and indexed by MEDLINE in 2005. It is the official scientific publication of the Brazilian Association of Otolaryngology and Cervicofacial Surgery. Its abbreviated title is Braz J Otorhinolaryngol., which should be used in bibliographies, footnotes and bibliographical references and strips.
