Can A CAT Scan Tell About Nose Abnormality In A Child?
My child saw a ENT Doctor Aug. 1 and as soon as he walked in the room. He told her, my mother and myself that he would not fine anything with out looking in her nose. But the first ENT doctor in June found a mass that he said need to come out. And refered us to this new doctor what should we do. He did see the Cat scan before he checked my child out. can he tell by the cat scan only or should he look in her nose?

Hi ,
Thanks for your question,
It depends where the mass is in your childs nose as to whether the surgeon could see it by physical examination.
A CT and or an MRI scan is often required in conduction with a physical examination to delineate the anatomy of the mass and plan biopsy or removal.
Best wishes
