[Evaluation of osteomeatal complex in children with chronic sinusitis].
The aim of this publication was estimation of osteomeatal complex and its visualisation by means of CT in children having been treated conservatively and surgically because of sinusitis. There were analyzed 47 children age 4 to 18 years who had been treated in Dept. of Children Otolaryngology, Phoniatry and Audiology of Medical University in Lublin during 2001-2005. It was found, that the causes of sinusitis are disturbances of osteomeatal complex and that the frontal projection in CT investigation is more efficient in preoperative diagnostics than sagittal projection.
