The aim of this study was to evaluate the developmental relationship between the volumes of paranasal sinuses and adenoid tissue by using a 3-dimensional (3D) reconstruction technique.
Cross-sectional study.
Tertiary referral center.
Multislice computed tomography (MSCT) images were obtained using 3D reconstructions and a volume-rendering technique (VRT) in 69 boys and 35 girls aged 3 to 16 years, and bilateral maxillary, frontal, and sphenoid sinus volumes, as well as adenoid tissue volume marked in axial-coronal-sagittal planes, were calculated. The patients were grouped in 3 categories according to adenoid tissue volumes, and comparisons were made.
There was no significant difference between the right maxillary volume and left maxillary volume (P = .93). No significant difference was noted between the groups in terms of age and gender. There was no significant correlation between frontal, sphenoid, right and left maxillary, or total maxillary sinus volumes in all 3 groups of patients.
When classified according to adenoid tissue size, it was observed that increasing adenoid tissue volumes did not significantly affect the development of paranasal sinuses. Developmentally, there are no statistically significant correlations between the volumes of paranasal sinuses and adenoid tissues.
本研究旨在通过三维（3D）重建技术评估鼻旁窦和腺样体体积的发育关系。
横断面研究。
三级转诊中心。
对 69 名 3 至 16 岁的男孩和 35 名女孩进行多层 CT（MSCT）扫描，使用 3D 重建和容积再现技术（VRT）获得图像，并计算双侧上颌窦、额窦和蝶窦体积以及在轴位-冠状位-矢状位标记的腺样体组织体积。根据腺样体组织体积将患者分为 3 组，并进行比较。
右侧上颌窦体积与左侧上颌窦体积无显著差异（P=0.93）。3 组患者在年龄和性别方面无显著差异。在所有 3 组患者中，额窦、蝶窦、右侧和左侧上颌窦或总上颌窦体积之间均无显著相关性。
根据腺样体组织大小进行分类时，观察到腺样体组织体积的增加并不会显著影响鼻旁窦的发育。在发育过程中，鼻旁窦和腺样体组织的体积之间没有统计学上显著的相关性。
