Abstract
The sinonasal anatomy of children differs significantly when compared to the sinonasal anatomy of adults. Even within the pediatric group, the anatomy varies depending on the age of the patient, as structures reach full maturation in the teenage years. Knowledge of pediatric anatomy is important for all otolaryngologists, particularly those planning to operate within the nose of a child. This article will present the pediatric nasal and sinonasal anatomy with reference to development and related operative planning.
