Sinusitis complicates approximately 5% to 10% of upper respiratory tract infections in children. As the importance of pediatric sinusitis has increased, increasing attention has focused on bony anatomic variations as etiologic factors. One of these is concha bullosa, which has an incidence of between 5% and 30% and is usually found bilaterally.

Article Abstract:

Pediatricians, family practitioners, pediatric allergists and otolaryngologists are increasingly aware of recurrent and chronic sinusitis in children. Its incidence and natural history are not known and there is no general agreement on what symptom complex is actually indicative of sinusitis. The disease process is dynamic, probably multifactorial, and expressed with varying symptoms. It is now thought that most infections of the sinuses are rhinogenic in origin.

Article Abstract:

The paranasal sinuses are common sites of infection in children. The diagnosis of sinusitis may be challenging because the sinus cavities are small and variably contoured, the clinical manifestations are often nonspecific, and the radiologic findings may be equivocal. Because many local and systemic factors contribute to sinusitis in children, the therapeutic regimens vary. In addition to conventional medical approaches, new surgical procedures and improved anesthetic techniques have made functional endonasal sinus surgery an excellent management tool for selected patients with chronic or recurrent disease.

Abstract:

Sinusitis has become the number one chronic illness for all age groups in the U.S. It has surpassed arthritis and hypertension as reported by the National Center for Disease Statistics. Although its exact incidence in children is not known, it is a common disease entity in the pediatric age group.

The etiological factors predisposing to sinusitis are multiple. They range from local anatomic variations to major systemic abnormalities. Diagnosis may be based on clinical manifestations or may require advanced radiographic studies. The majority of cases respond to conventional medical treatment. Surgical intervention is entertained only after optimal medical therapy fails.

Functional Endonasal Sinus Surgery (FESS) is a relatively new surgical procedure that was introduced in the mid 1980′s in the U.S. It is proving to be an effective treatment for chronic and/or recurrent sinusitis in children who have failed maximal medical therapy. FESS is a functional rather than an ablative or exentrative procedure. The diseased tissues are removed under direct visualization and the physiologic mucociliary clearance is restored.

This course is intended to familiarize the otolaryngologist and residents-in-training with the embryology, anatomy and pathophysiology of pediatric sinusitis. Systemic diseases such as allergy, asthma and immunodeficiency as they relate to sinusitis in children are discussed. The important role of pediatric FESS, its indications, the techniques, the results and the complications will be dealt with extensively.
