In a previous report, the authors defined the normal development of the paranasal sinuses. Landmarks and dimensions relevant to functional endoscopic sinus surgery were measured on the computed-tomography images of 145 children who were free of significant sinusitis. The present study compares those normal values to the same measurements in 235 cases of sinus disease. No significant difference was found between normal and diseased groups in any of the 10 dimensions originally reported or in six derived measures. There appears to be no association between sinus disease and any of these dimensions. The previously reported norms are applicable to cases of pediatric sinus disease.
