Coronal computed tomography (CT) scans are essential for diagnosing pediatric sinusitis unresponsive to medical treatment. This study highlights common sinus disease patterns and anatomical variations in children, aiding in effective diagnosis and management.

Area of Science:

  • Radiology
  • Pediatric Otolaryngology
  • Medical Imaging

Background:

  • Chronic and recurrent acute sinusitis in children often necessitates advanced imaging after medical therapy failure.
  • Coronal CT scans are the preferred modality for evaluating sinonasal anatomy and disease extent in pediatric patients.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the extent and distribution of sinonasal disease in children with refractory sinusitis.
  • To identify associated bony anatomical abnormalities in this pediatric population.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective review of 74 coronal CT scans from children with persistent sinusitis symptoms.
  • Analysis of sinonasal disease patterns and bony abnormalities.

Main Results:

  • Children with cystic fibrosis exhibited characteristic medial displacement of the lateral nasal wall and uncinate process demineralization.
  • A higher frequency of disease was observed in the maxillary, anterior ethmoid, posterior ethmoid, and frontal sinuses compared to adults.
  • Asthma was associated with more extensive sinonasal disease.

    • Conclusions:

    • Coronal CT imaging is crucial for delineating sinonasal disease and anatomical variations in pediatric patients with refractory sinusitis.
    • Specific patterns of disease and anatomical findings are noted in children with cystic fibrosis and asthma.
