Conclusion:
We could not demonstrate an effect of adenoid vegetation on development of paranasal sinus anatomic variations.
Objective:
To investigate whether adenoid vegetation has an impact on anatomic variations of paranasal sinuses.
Patients And Methods:
Fifty-six children with adenoid vegetation and 25 children without adenoid vegetation were enrolled in the study. The paranasal sinus anatomic variations were investigated via coronal section CT scans.
Results:
No statistically significant difference was noticed between children with and without adenoid vegetation. In addition, no significant correlation with respect to age of children and anatomic variations was determined.

Cranial Bones: Lateral View
The temporal bone forms the lower lateral side of the skull. The temporal bone is subdivided into several regions. The flattened upper portion is the squamous portion of the temporal bone. Below this area and projecting anteriorly is the zygomatic process of the temporal bone, which forms the posterior portion of the zygomatic arch. Posteriorly is the mastoid portion of the temporal bone. Projecting...
