Can sinusitis be missed by an MRI?

Hi all!!

I had a bad reaction to some medication last year which has given me sinusitis-like symptoms. I have constant catarrh and facial pressure. My vision has also gone ‘off’.

I finally went to see an ENT consultant this year who requested that I do an MRI scan of the head. This MRI scan has come back completely clear, which kind of surprises me as I can definitely feel the mucus sitting there.

I do have some other health stuff going on so I know I should probably get all of that sorted out as well. But is it at all possible that a head MRI could’ve missed anything? It just seems strange that I can feel all this build-up but nothing is on there.

Thanks!
