Conclusion: We could not demonstrate an effect of adenoid vegetation on development of paranasal sinus anatomic variations.
Objective: To investigate whether adenoid vegetation has an impact on anatomic variations of paranasal sinuses.
Patients and methods: Fifty-six children with adenoid vegetation and 25 children without adenoid vegetation were enrolled in the study. The paranasal sinus anatomic variations were investigated via coronal section CT scans.
Results: No statistically significant difference was noticed between children with and without adenoid vegetation. In addition, no significant correlation with respect to age of children and anatomic variations was determined.
