Morphometric Variations of Frontal Sinus in Pediatric Age Group in Central India – A Study | Chapter  03 | New Horizons in Medicine and Medical Research Vol. 8
The goal of this study was to learn about gender-specific developmental and structural variations of the frontal sinuses in children in the Gurugram area of Haryana (Central India). The pattern of skeletal growth is predicted by the development and pneumatization of the frontal sinuses. The development of the craniofacial structures is proportional to the rest of the body's structures.
Methods: Between January and March 2019, a total of 36 patients were investigated in the Department of Radio-diagnosis at SGT Medical College, Hospital and Research Institute in Budhera (Gurugram), Haryana. Between the ages of 8 and 18, there were 12 females and 24 males. The morphological parameters of the frontal sinuses were evaluated. The plain X-ray of the paranasal sinuses was analysed using Caldwell's perspective.
The average width and height of the left frontal sinuses were 23.8 mm and 28.4 mm, respectively, ranging from 5.5 to 43 mm and 13 to 45 mm. With a range of 9.8 – 39 mm and 13-38 mm, the average width and height of the right frontal sinus were 20.4 mm and 20 mm, respectively. The average number of scalloping on the right and left was 1.9 and 2.19, respectively. Thirteen people (36.11 percent) on the left side and sixteen people (44.44 percent) on the right side had septations. Supraorbital cells were detected in 16 of the left side (44.44 percent) and 17 of the right side (47.22 percent).
Conclusion: The appearance and development of the frontal sinuses vary greatly in the paediatric age range. The right-hand measurements were discovered to be smaller than the left-hand dimensions. Scalloping and supraorbital cells were more prominent on the right side than on the left. The left side of the body has more septation than the right.
