Clinical and radiologic characterization of frontal sinusitis in the pediatric population

Annals of Otology, Rhinology & Laryngology Jan 19, 2021

Velasquez N, Strober W, Shaffer A, et al. - The present study was performed to define the clinical presentation, radiologic variables, treatment modalities, complications, and prognosis associated with acute and chronic frontal sinus disease in the pediatric population. Between 2006 and 2016, researchers conducted an IRB-approved retrospective cohort study including pediatric patients who were diagnosed with acute (AFS) or chronic frontal sinusitis (CFS) and had undergone frontal sinus surgery at a tertiary level Children’s Hospital. They compared patients with AFS to patients with CFS. Researchers examined a sum of 19 patients with AFS and 15 patients with CFS. In the pediatric population, there are 2 distinct presentations of frontal sinus disease. It was shown that individuals with AFS vary significantly from those with CFS. The results indicated that males, ages 13 to 18 years old, who cultured positive for S. Anginosus (former S.Milleri) dominated the AFS subgroup. As per the findings, whereas female patients with a history of allergic rhinitis and muco-cilliary disease were more prominent in the CRS subgroup. For the appropriate short and long-term patient management, correct identification, and understanding of these 2 different entities are crucial.
