To investigate the maxillary sinus development and provide data for sinus surgery on children.
Two thousand two hundred and thirty-eight children were randomly selected among those who underwent skull and nasal sinus CT scanning because of certain symptoms and signs. Patients were divided into eighteen age cohorts based on their age at the time of the scan. Anterior-posterior, transverse diameters and vertical height of the maxillary sinus were measured and statistically analyzed.
The maxillary sinus volume was enlarging even in adult, hut the growth of maxillary sinus was relatively stable in adolescent. The difference of transverse and anterior-posterior diameters of maxillary sinus had no statistical significance between female and male (P > 0.05), while there was statistically significant difference in the vertical height of maxillary sinus (P < 0.05).
The results will aid the physicians when correlating the clinical and radiographic findings of pediatric patients who are being evaluated for sinus disease and potential surgical intervention.
研究上颌窦发育情况,为儿童鼻窦手术提供数据。
在因某些症状和体征接受头颅及鼻窦CT扫描的儿童中随机选取2238例。根据扫描时的年龄将患者分为18个年龄组。测量上颌窦的前后径、横径和垂直高度,并进行统计学分析。
即使在成年人中,上颌窦体积也在增大,但上颌窦在青少年时期的生长相对稳定。上颌窦横径和前后径在女性和男性之间差异无统计学意义(P>0.05),而上颌窦垂直高度差异有统计学意义(P<0.05)。
这些结果将有助于医生在评估患有鼻窦疾病并可能需要手术干预的儿科患者的临床和影像学表现时进行关联分析。
