Foreword

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

Foreword

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.

In the 1980s, more serious attention began to be paid to this condition by the medical community. Among others, Charles Bluestone, MD, a pediatric otolaryngologist, deserves much credit for focusing our attention to the importance of the proper recognition and evaluation of this condition, as well as the necessity for proper treatment. With the advent of functional sinus surgery, attention to adult sinusitis as well as pediatric sinusitis had a marked awakening. In 1989, we presented the first series showing the feasibility of functional endonasal surgery in pediatric patients. Following this, much more enthusiasm resulted. Rodney Lusk, MD, published his landmark Pediatric Sinusitis in 1992. Since its publication, there have been quite significant advancements in this field and many worthwhile publications, but no comprehensive compendium of this knowledge have been provided by the medical community. In this text, Dr. Younis has assembled a cadre of experts to present a contemporary detailed overview of the subject, including basic knowledge and practical application of medical and surgical management of pediatric sinusitis. As a final point, practical advice is given in regard to setting up a sinus center.

Foreword

It is indeed my pleasure and privilege to write a foreword for Pediatric Sinusitis, an invaluable textbook edited by Professor Ramzi T. Younis. The contributors include some of the finest pediatric sinus surgeons. The topics for each chapter are well-placed and the contents succinctly executed. It will serve as an excellent companion for otolaryngology residents and attendings alike. It will be of much benefit to medical students and paramedical staff, as well as primary care physicians.

Ramzi, I salute you for a job well done.
