title: Advances in sinus disease in pediatrics.
abstract: Advances in sinus diseases in pediatrics during the 1980s have occurred in both diagnosis and treatment. Perhaps the most significant development in diagnosis has been the increased sophistication of computerized tomography. In treatment, the most significant advances have been in the better understanding of the bacteriology of pediatric sinusitis and the development of endoscopic sinus surgery.
