Introduction: Computed tomography is an important imaging technique in Emergency Units. Thanks to its popularity, radiological changes are found in healthy children more commonly. The aim of this paper is to evaluate the incidence of maxillary sinus radiological changes in children with head trauma who admitted to the Emergency Unit of the University Children Hospital in Lublin. Material and Methods: A retrospective analysis of computed tomography scans of children suffering from head trauma admitted to the Emergency Unit of the University Children Hospital in Lublin was carried out. A group of 425 patients was analyzed. Results: Maxillary findings were present in 81 cases (19.06%); in 38 patients (8.94%) the changes were unilateral, while in 43 (10.12%) they were bilateral. Maxillary mucosal thickening was the most common radiological abnormality, present in almost 12% of the investigated cases (approximately 62% of all revealed changes). Maxillary total opacification as an isolated finding was found in younger children only. Retention cysts and maxillary polyps were found with a similar low frequency as maxillary opacification but in elder children only. Discussion: Asymptomatic radiological changes in computed tomography scans are common. Maxillary mucosal thickening is the most frequent asymptomatic abnormality. Maxillary polyps and pseudocysts are rare in the paediatric population. Maxillary opacification suggests other more significant pathologies and requires further diagnostics. Physicians should avoid diagnosing patients with sinusitis without proper examination and based on radiological abnormalities only. Paediatric patients with revealed maxillary changes should remain under regular laryngological control.

Neuroplasticity is a basic feature of neuronal system which provides function rebuilt or developmental dysfunction repair. Hearing impairment can have an impact on intelligence levels, organization and structure of cognitive processes. Cognitive capacities profiles of deaf people present neuropsychological results of functional reorganization of brain. 208 children were accepted for this study. Experimental group con- sisted of 126 children suffering from sensorineural hearing insufficiency. 26 children were diagnosed with right-sided hearing loss, 34 children were diagnosed with left-sided hearing loss and 66 children were diagnosed with bilateral hearing loss. Control group consisted of 82 normally hearing children, confirmed in audiometric assessment. In order to establish levels of cognitive abilities and intelligence in patients enrolled for the study polish adaptation of Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children (WISC-R) was administered. Children with bilateral hearing loss obtained worse results in verbal scale compared to well hearing controls. Verbal intelligence in control group was statistically higher than in right-sided auditory dysfunction group. Control group average result in nonverbal scale was statistically significantly higher compared to left-sided hearing loss patients. Children with right-sided auditory dysfunction obtained higher results in nonverbal scale compared to children with left-sided auditory dysfunc- tion. Left-sided hearing impairment group had higher scores in almost all subtests of verbal scale than right-sided hearing impairment group. Left-sided auditory disability enhances linguistic capacity, which indicates compensation abilities of left hemisphere responsible for verbal processes. Right-sided auditory disability enhances analytic processes, visual synthesis and image reasoning, which indicates compensation abilities of right hemisphere responsible for nonverbal processes. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
