“…Anatomic variations are other factors putatively associated with chronic rhinosinusitis. When the relationship between pneumatized middle concha, concha bullosa, and chronic and recurrent rhinosinusitis in children is investigated, Haruna et al [14] discovered this anatomic variation in 4.6% of 95 patients, just as they have seen in it in older children with medial concha pneumatization. Opacification of the osteomeatal complex was also not found more frequently in patients with middle concha pneumatization.…”

Acute and chronic rhinosinusitis are common pediatric ailments. A recent study has identified that approximately 2% of ambulatory visits (<20 years of age) per year are due to chronic rhinosinusitis [1,2]. Despite the lack of comprehensive prospective investigations, the European Rhinologic Society recently published guidelines in how to diagnose and treat pediatric CRS (pCRS) (EPOS2020) [3] Even if they are not life threatening, the child is deeply affected by his/her school performance and his/her sleep patterns thus affecting quality of life relevantly [2]. Our aim here is to reveal the innovations that exist in medical and surgical treatment while sharing basic information about pediatric chronic rhinosinusitis in the context of current literature and recent studies.

“…This anatomic variation was divided into three groups according to extent of the pneumatization: lamellar type (pneumatization in the lamellar portion), bulbous type (pneumatization in the bulbous portion; Figure 5), and extensive type (pneumatization in the both vertical lamellar and inferior bulbous portion) [35]. The prevalence of the CB varies from 4.6 to 89.5% [17,[20][21][22][36][37][38][39]. This may be due to the different definition criteria for CB.…”

“…It is still debated in the literature whether CB has a role in sinusitis aetiology. However, in most of the studies, no statistical significant relationship is found between the CB and maxillary sinusitis [17,[20][21][22][36][37][38][39]. Pneumatization of the superior and inferior turbinate is also called superior and inferior concha bullosa.…”

Paranasal Sinuses

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Paranasal sinuses located in the bones surrounding the nasal cavity are called maxillary, ethmoid, frontal and sphenoid sinuses. In relation with their location, these sinuses contribute to the development of the facial structures, jaws and upper airway. During the developmental process of the paranasal sinuses, anatomic variations can occur in consequence of intra and extramural migration of the ethmoid air cells, overpneumatization or hypoplasia of the sinuses and bulging of the neurovascular structures to the sinuses. Some of these anatomic variations may affect the drainage pathways, pave the way for chronic infections and cause difficulties when performing paranasal sinuses surgery.Therefore, the aim of this chapter was to examine the paranasal sinus anatomic variations with cone beam computed tomography (CBCT).

“…Investigations have not supported these beliefs and further evidence has been provided by Haruna et al [36]. They investigated the effect of middle turbinate pneumatization on the incidence of recurrent or chronic rhinosinusitis in children.…”
