Pediatric sinusitis is now well recognized as a common malady of children. In years past, the ‘‘snotty-nosed kid’’ was given little attention by the medical community, often leading to unnecessary morbidity and all too frequent minor and serious complications.
The evolution of the specialty of pediatric otolaryngology in the latter half of the twentieth century has been remarkable. Capitalizing on advances in imaging and technology, and the development of drugs that control infection, the care of children with ear, nose, and throat disorders has reduced not only the morbidity caused by disease, but also that caused by its treatment. In no case is this truer than in the treatment of pediatric sinus disease.
Dr. Ramzi Younis and a group of experts in pediatric sinus disease have written the first textbook completely dedicated to this disease. Because of the recent advances in the diagnosis and treatment, it is a disease process that warrants this focused approach and is appropriate for pediatric otolaryngologists and otolaryngologists in general, as well as residents in training, pediatricians, and other primary care specialists. The book begins with developmental anatomy and pathophysiology of sinusitis and quickly moves on to appropriate diagnostic evaluation. One chapter in particular contrasts the nature of adult and pediatric sinusitis, especially in diagnosis and treatment.
This explicit book detailly endoscopic surgical management, along with practical tips regarding surgical anatomy and ways to avoid complications. Other important areas include the use of image-guided surgery and management of comorbidities, such as diseases of tonsils and adenoids, cystic fibrosis, immune deficiency, and allergy.
Pediatric Sinusitis is a pioneering book, the first of its kind dedicated to this disorder. As such, it will be a cornerstone in the field of pediatric otolaryngology and will be extremely useful for rhinologists, sinus surgeons, pediatricians, and other primary care specialists. The authors are internationally recognized and deal with this complex and dynamic disease entity in a clear, concise, and complete way.
