title: [Diagnotsic efficacy of roentgenography and computed tomography of paranasal sinuses in children presenting with mucoviscidosis complicated by chronic rhinosinusitis].
abstract: We examined 95 patients with mucoviscidosis admitted to the Russian Children's Clinical Hospital for ENT organ pathology. It was shown that pathology of paranasal sinuses is the most common condition diagnosed in 42% of the children, with chronic polypous sinusitis being its predominant form. A comparative analysis of the efficacy of the main radiodiagnostic techniques (standard roentgenography and computed tomography) in the patients of the study and control groups revealed the characteristic features of pathology of paranasal sinuses associated with mucoviscidosis and resulting from pathogenic processes characteristic of this severe disease. It is concluded that computed tomography is a valuable tool for diagnostics of pathology of paranasal sinuses; moreover, itcan be used to plan the extent of surgical intervention in children presenting with mucoviscidos is complicated by polypous sinusitis.
