    Journal: Zhonghua Er Bi Yan Hou Ke Za Zhi; 1995; 30(5):270-2. PubMed ID: 8762504.
    Abstract:
    Anatomical features show maxillary sinus to be most commonly involved during childhood chronic sinusitis. Fifty-one cases who failed to respond to medications and irrigation were selected to undergo the middle meatal antrostomy under endoscopy. The majority of them had maxillary sinusitis. 10 cases had middle turbinate edema and polyps. 6 had ethmoiditis. After operations, signs of headache eliminated in 20 cases, nasal obstruction in 43 cases and yellowish discharge in 37 cases. The operative results were satisfactory. It is demonstrated that endoscopic sinus surgery is an ideal therapy for the treatment of childhood chronic maxillary sinusitis at present.
