| Popis: | In 52 children between 3 and 9 years of age drainage of the maxillary sinus was performed because of chronic purulent rhinitis and opacity of the maxillary sinuses on the radiographs. The results of preoperative transillumination were compared with the drainage findings. In this selected group of children the sensitivity of transillumination for the demonstration of congestion in the maxillary sinuses was found to be limited. The authors consider transillumination to be an obsolete method for this purpose in children. |
