Abstract EN
Atresias of nasal cavity, especially in young children, pose an essential problem in children’s otolaryngology.
Only a few morphometric studies of nasal cavity concerning healthy neonates and young infants without nasal stenosis are available.
Multislice computed tomography is a perfect tool enabling a precise evaluation of anatomic structures.
The aim of this study was a complex morphometric evaluation of clinically important bone and mucosal structures of nasal cavity and examination of their dependence on age and sex in children up to 3 years of age.
180 children, age range 0–3 years, were divided into 5 age groups, and measurements of 18 distances between skeletal structures and between mucosal structures of nasal cavity were performed on their CT scans.
A correlation between the widths of selected bone structures was examined.
There were no statistically significant differences in analyzed morphometric parameters between adjacent age groups.
The differences were statistically significant only between extreme age groups.
There was a correlation between evaluated structures and age.
Our results are a valuable supplement of nasal cavity morphometric data of young children.
They may be useful in setting reference values of evaluated parameters in children and in diagnosis and planning of surgical treatment in children’s otolaryngology.
