INTRODUCTION
A wide variety of conditions aect the nose, nasal cavity, and paranasal sinuses in children. Many conditions, such as nasal congenital deformities, anterior nasal cavity, or supercial frontonasal masses can be seen on clinical examination. However, these require imaging
Section 5 Congenital/Pediatric Diseases258
evaluation for extent, determining possible intracranial extension, dierential diagnosis, and need for biopsy.
Biopsy is hazardous in several conditions, such as encephalocele and proliferating hemangioma. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CECT) and magnetic resonance (MR) imaging are complementary exami­nations, and although MR imaging is now the preferred examination for evaluating many of these lesions, CT may be necessary to further assess bone changes.
RELEVANT TERMINOLOGY, ANATOMY, AND PITFALLS
Terminology
It is important to make note of various relevant surface anatomical denitions as below:
Midface: It is the region located between the forehead superiorly and upper lip inferiorly.
Glabella: Part of forehead between the eyebrows (above the nose).
Nasion: It is a point just below the glabella, bony depression in the midline where the two nasal bones and frontal bone meet.
Root of nose: Depressed part of nose just below the nasion.
Nasofrontal region: It is a generic term used to refer to anterior neuropore anomalies projecting in the region of glabella or root of nose and lower forehead.
Anatomy and Pitfalls
Cribriform plate is nonossied in neonates—must not be misinterpreted as being decient (Figs. 20.1A and B).
Cribriform plate begins to ossify between 2 months and 8 months.
Perpendicular plate of ethmoid begins to ossify between 4 months and 11 months.
ere is normally a midline gap between the two nasal bones—may be misinterpreted as a dermal sinus tract.
Heterogeneous fatty marrow replacement of the sphenoid between 7 months and 2 years may mimic a sphenoid lesion.
Foramen cecum:
• It is a gap situated between crista galli and frontal bone.
• Normal width—up to 10 mm (mean being 4 mm).
• It appears as soft tissue density on CT and shows low to intermediate
signal intensity on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
Crista galli: Normal measurement is 1–8 mm (mean 3 mm)
• CT density and MR signal intensity are same as bone marrow.
• Age of ossication—1 year.
• Fatty replacement may be seen in majority of children and is seen by
14 years in all.
• Fatty signal can be mistaken for dermoid cyst.

Measurements:
Posterior choana: Normal size is up to 0.34 cm in children less than
2 years.
Vomer: Normally width of posteroinferior vomer is less than 0.23 cm,
maximum is 0.55 cm in children less than 8 years.

IMAGING MODALITIES
Plain radiograph has a very limited utility with poor sensitivity and specicity.
Computed tomography—suces for choanal atresia, pyriform aperture (PA) stenosis, nasolacrimal duct (NLD) anomalies, complications of acute sinusitis, recurrent/chronic infection not responding to treatment, evaluation of osteomeatal complex, surgical planning, bony tumors or destruction, and facial trauma.
Magnetic resonance imaging—is preferred in midline mass lesions, intracranial complications of sinusitis, and sinonasal tumors. However, CT is often required in addition to delineate the bony defect of the anterior skull base (ASB). MR imaging sequences that are ideal for assessing nasal lesions include multiplanar thin-section T1-weighted imaging, T2-weighted imaging with fat saturation, contrast material­enhanced T1-weighted imaging with fat saturation, and diusion­weighted imaging.
DEVELOPMENT OF PARANASAL SINUSES
Paranasal sinuses form as diverticula from the walls of the nasal cavities.
e original openings of the diverticula persist as the ostia of the sinuses.
Sinuses expand and get pneumatized as the child grows (Table 20.1; Figs. 20.2 and 20.3).

Familiarity with the normal chronology of these events is important to prevent misinterpretation of partially developed/nonpneumatized sinuses as sinusitis.
Ethmoid Sinuses
Present at birth and pneumatization progresses in all the directions until the age of 12 years.
Maxillary Sinuses
e early phase of pneumatization is directed laterally and posteriorly in 0–3 years, whereas the later phase proceeds inferiorly toward the maxillary teeth at 6–12 years of age.
Sphenoid Sinuses
Undeveloped at birth, aeration begins 7 months to 2 years in anterior portion of sinus and progresses posteriorly, laterally, and inferiorly. It reaches the nerve of pterygoid canal in 6–7 years; nally reaching the anterior wall of clivus/anterior clinoids and is completed by 9–12 years.
Frontal Sinuses
Not present at birth and begin to pneumatized at 6 years of age and expanding superiorly, laterally, and medially, continue to grow in adolescence (see Figs. 20.2 and 20.3).

CLASSIFICATION OF PEDIATRIC SINONASAL DISORDERS
Congenital anomalies are divided based on embryology into anterior neuropore/midface/nasobuccal region abnormalities (also see Chapters 21 and 23). For the purpose of imaging approach we have clubbed these according to various etiologies (Table 20.2). Similarly, the “tumors” have been clubbed according to the age of presentation (Flowchart 20.1).

Aplasias—arhinia and heminasal aplasia.
Hypoplasias—nasal bone hypoplasia (Fig. 20.4A)/agenesis, hypoplastic anterior nasal spine, hypoplastic nares, nasal cavity, and maxillary sinus hypoplasia.
Hyperplasias—polyrhinia, supernumerary nostril, and proboscis lateralis. e pathogenesis of these entities is discussed in Chapter 21 and imaging
features of some of the conditions are discussed below.
Proboscis Lateralis
Rare hyperplastic midface malformation.
External nose fails to develop on one side and is replaced by a tubular structure emanating from the medial canthus.
Associated with faulty development of ipsilateral paranasal sinuses and nasolacrimal system, absent olfactory nerve, olfactory lobe, and cribriform plate on the aected side.
Computed tomography reveals the single nasal cavity in normal location and an ectopic opening of the other nose at medial canthus location. Associated malformations of sinuses and cribriform plate are well demonstrated on CT (Figs. 20.4B to D).
