Pediatric sinusitis: diagnosis and management with endoscopic techniques.
Sinusitis in children has recently received more attention as a possible etiology in chronic or persistent cough, chronic nasal congestion, purulent rhinorrhea, and generalized malaise. Its association with upper respiratory infections and allergy is still sometimes overlooked, however, resulting in prolonged but often inadequate treatment for the young patient. An attempt to better define the anatomy and physiology of the paranasal sinuses, along with a discussion of etiologies and diagnostic and therapeutic techniques, will provide some useful information in the management of this problem.
