[Diagnostic endoscopy in pediatric rhinology].
The paper provides a description on indications to diagnostic endoscopy, its techniques, specific pediatric features, types of anesthesia. Typical complications are specified. Emphasis is placed on local developmental defects of the nasal cavity, lateral wall in particular, as they interfere with natural sinus drainage in many children with chronic and recurrent sinusitis, chronic rhinitis. The tables detail variants of the above deformities with specification of the likely site of stenosis in so-called osteomeatal zone. It is believed that minor surgical correction in the above zone is more preferable than extended radical operations. This seems important in pediatric practice.
