title: [Paranasal sinusitis in children].
abstract: Sinus x-rays were taken of all children admitted for surgery to the ENT Department of Bochum for one year. 43.9% of 273 children and 29% of 14 healthy control children showed opacities of the maxillary sinuses. As described previously, sinusitis in childhood produces few symptoms. Patients with nasal obstruction due to adenoids did not show a higher incidence of pathological changes on sinus x-rays. Children with sinusitis did not have a higher rate of combined chronic otitis media, chronic bronchitis and chronic tonsillitis than the patients without pathological changes on the sinus x-rays.
