Our purpose was to investigate the role of chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) and adenoid vegetation hypertrophy (AVH) in pediatric patients with otitis media with effusion (OME). Paranasal sinus computerized tomography scans were taken, and acoustic impedancemetry were performed in 42 patients with rhinosinusitis related symptoms nonresponsive to antibiotic therapy. There were 19 male, 23 female patients with an age range of 3 to 13 (mean 7). OME, CRS and AVH were found in 61.9% (26/42), 45.2% (19/42) and 83.3% (35/42) of the patients, respectively. CRS was found in 57.7% (15/26) and 25.0% (4/16) of the patients with and without OME [p0.05], respectively. Our results in this study suggest that CRS may independently contribute to the course of OME in children. Therefore, these patients should be investigated for the presence of CRS. |
