“…8,9 We found a significant correlation between the MRI scores and the severity of nasal obstruction and discharge and fever confirming the results of a study done on adults. 10 None of the other symptoms or the duration of the symptoms predicted the paranasal sinus findings. The sinus abnormalities tended to be more severe in the children with higher symptom scores than those with milder symptoms, similar to the study of the common cold in adults.…”

ABSTRACT. Objective. The spreading of acute respiratory infection into the paranasal sinuses in children is poorly defined. The main objective of this study was to evaluate the frequency and spontaneous resolution of paranasal sinus abnormalities in children with acute respiratory infection using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).Methods. We examined 60 children with MRI (mean age: 5.7 years) with symptoms of acute respiratory infection. Twenty-six children with major abnormalities in the first MRI scan had a follow-up MRI taken 2 weeks later.Results. The children had had symptoms of uncomplicated acute respiratory infection for an average of 6 days before the first examination (mean duration: 6. Conclusions. These observations indicate that acute respiratory infection mostly spreads into the paranasal sinuses of children in the form of mucosal edema and that these abnormalities tend to resolve spontaneously without antimicrobial treatment.

“…Rhinoviruses are widespread in the sinus epithelium of rhinosinusitis patients (1,2), and they may cause AMS in up to 50% of cases (3). Viral rhinosinusitis is a frequent finding in the early stages of the common cold (4,5). It typically resolves in a few days and warrants only symptomatic treatment, if any.…”

“…Yet maxillary sinus puncture is invasive, time-consuming and may be uncomfortable for the patient. In plain sinus radiographs, over 50% of patients have maxillary sinus abnormalities during common cold (5). In skilful hands, ultrasound is both high sensitive and speci c in diagnosing ACAMS (6).…”
