Abstract
The radiographic appearance of sinuses was studied in 146 Thai asthmatic patients aged 1-13 years. Forty-eight percent of cases showed sinusitis by the radiographic criteria. The maxillary sinus was most commonly involved (98.6%). Thirty-three percent had ethmoidal sinusitis and 7% of those with developed frontal sinuses had frontal sinusitis. Thirty-three percent had more than one sinus involved. Those with frontal sinusitis always had maxillary and/or ethmoidal involvement. Sixteen cases had signs and symptoms of sinusitis and all of the cases had the radiographic appearance of sinusitis. There was no correlation between the occurrence of sinusitis and duration or severity of asthma. There was no difference in the occurrence of sinusitis between those with or without allergic rhinitis. No correlation between severity of sinusitis and age of patients was observed.
