Abstract

X-ray features of sinuses have have been studied in 50 young adult allergic asthmatic patients and compared with 55 non allergic, non asthmatic, young subjects. The aim of the study was to determine the frequency of abnormalities of sinuses and to look for own abnormalities to asthmatic patients. 60% of the asthmatic patients showed sinuses abnormalities, and 40% among non asthmatic subjects (p less than 0.05). Nevertheless, there were non significant differences in mucosal thickening of maxillary sinuses among asthmatic patients and non asthmatic subjects. So, this feature cannot be useful as a diagnostic symptom of allergic asthma. In this study, asthmatic patients with X-ray sinuses abnormalities were not more severe than those without abnormalities.
