In order to make a basis for the treatment of nasal sinuses of children and the correlated disease, we investigate the incidence rate of nasal sinusitis of children and explore the correlation between nasal sinusitis of children and CT in Kunming.


METHODS
Two thousand one hundred and fourteen healthy children and 1535 children with sinusitis were selected randomly. Form whom were undergone nasal sinus computer tomography for different medical reasons. The incidence rates of nasal sinusitis in different age-groups were calculated and statistically analyzed.


RESULTS
The incidence rate of sinusitis was highest in 4 to 8 years old. There was moderate to high consistency between clinical diagnosis and nasal CT results (P<0.01).
