Transnasal sinuscopy was performed in 43 children with maxillary sinusitis diagnosed by x-ray film. 70 maxillary sinuses were inspected. On 30 occasions a mucosa specimen was taken for histology. A comparison was made between endoscopical, radiological and histological findings. While we found a high degree of agreement between endoscopy and x-ray film, there was no correlation between endoscopic and histologic findings.
