Research of the nasal sinusitis incidence of children in Kunming of Yunnan Province / 临床耳鼻咽喉头颈外科杂志

OBJECTIVE@#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.@*METHOD@#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.@*RESULT@#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).@*CONCLUSION@#These results demonstrate that the key stage of children's sinusitis prevention would be school-age children, and nasal CT scanning is helpful to evaluate the clinical condition.

Comparison of the nasal sinus development of children with or without sinusitis in Yunnan province / 临床耳鼻咽喉头颈外科杂志

OBJECTIVE@#To investigate the nasal sinus development and discuss the relation between sinusitis and nasal development.@*METHOD@#One thousand seven hundred and five healthy children and 1424 children with sinusitis were selected randomly. All children underwent naso sinus computer tomography. Sagittal, coronal and transverse diameters of all sinuses were measured and statistically analyzed.@*RESULT@#The measured sinus diameters of children with sinusitis were longer than that of healthy children (P < 0.01). Pearson analyses revealed a low correlation of age and the history of sinusitis (P < 0.01), and no correlation of gender and the history of sinusitis. There was moderate to high consistency between clinical diagnosis and nasal CT results about sinusitis (P < 0.01).@*CONCLUSION@#These results demonstrated that the differences of sinus development exist between the healthy children and children with sinusitis, and the sinus development in children with sinusitis were better than that of healthy children.
