Chronic frontal sinusitis (CFS) has afflicted humanity throughout history and continues to be a significant global health issue today. In bioarchaeology, sinusitis is often diagnosed through the identification of bone alterations within the maxillary sinus cavities by macroscopic and/or endoscopic examination. However, due to the inaccessible nature of frontal sinuses, CFS specifically has not been studied extensively archaeologically yet. This paper aims to demonstrate the effectiveness of diagnosing CFS through computed tomography (CT), highlighting the potential of radiographical imaging for future advancements in paleopathological research.

使用计算机断层扫描诊断中世纪后荷兰农村社区骨骼遗骸中的慢性额鼻窦炎（公元 1829-1866 年）


慢性额鼻窦炎 （CFS） 在历史上一直困扰着人类，并在今天继续成为一个重要的全球健康问题。在生物考古学中，鼻窦炎通常是通过肉眼和/或内窥镜检查识别上颌窦腔内的骨骼改变来诊断的。然而，由于额窦难以接近，CFS 尚未在考古学上得到广泛研究。本文旨在证明通过计算机断层扫描 （CT） 诊断 CFS 的有效性，强调放射成像对古病理学研究未来进展的潜力。
