ABSTRACT
The authors performed a comparative electromyographic examination of the muscles of ethmoid labyrinth projection (the lower lid area of the orbicular muscle of the eye and the masticatory muscles on both sides in comparison with the probably intact anterior cricothyroid muscle). The population of analysis included 209 patients at the age of 0 to 18 years (most of the children aged 3 to 6 years), including 98 male patients (44%) and 111 female patients (56.0%). The patients were divided into 3 groups. The first group consisted of 109 people diagnosed with ethmoiditis, the second one comprised 70 children with “other ENT diseases”, the third one comprised 30 relatively healthy children. During the study, the authors compared clinical, radiological, electrophysiological (electromyographic) data and generated tactics of management of the children diagnosed with acute spondylogenous ethmoiditis with a birth injury of the cervical spine. The progress in general biological sciences, the accumulated data (the study of the mechanism of development of acute ethmoiditis, the nature of birth injuries with the cervical spine damage), the clinical features of spondylogenous ethmoiditis manifestations, the improvement of technical means of examination (of nasal cavity, nasopharynx), the use of X-ray, X-ray contrast method of maxillary sinus examination, the wide use of electromyographic method made it possible to establish the relation between the development of acute ethmoiditis in children resulting from the birth injuries of various degrees of severity; all these factors have predetermined the conduct of this study.
