Abstract
We report on three pediatric cases of chronic sinusitis with headache for which medical interventions were not effective. These cases were diagnosed with chronic sinusitis using X-ray and magnetic resonance imaging. Sinus headache in children is frequently misdiagnosed because headache is associated with the common cold or seen as primary headache. Symptoms of chronic sinusitis disappeared after several times repeated irrigation of the maxillary antrum via the natural ostium using a Killian-Kubo cannula. This therapeutic method is not invasive for children, making iterative operations possible. We recommend that this no-longer-utilized method be reevaluated in the future for treatment of childhood sinusitis.
