Patients with a clinical history of sinonasal disorders or skeletal facial trauma were excluded. The remaining scans were scored according to the Lund\u2010MacKay system. Pneumatization of the frontal and sphenoid sinuses was also recorded. A scaled Lund score was computed, and the mean Lund score for this normal population was determined.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>RESULTS<\/jats:title><jats:p>One hundred ninety\u2010two computed tomography scans were examined (mean age, 9.0 years). The frontal sinuses and sphenoid sinuses were absent in 40.1% and 1.6% of cases, respectively. The mean scaled Lund score in this pediatric population without CRS was 2.81 (95% confidence interval, 2.40 to 3.22).
