Definitions
• Rhinosinusitis : Inflammation of nose and
paranasal sinuses
• Acute rhinosinusitis (<4 weeks ) :
(<4
Purulent nasal drainage, nasal

obstruction, facial pain-pressurepain-pressurefullness, or both

Definitions
• Subacute rhinosinusitis (4-8 weeks )
• CRS (8-12 weeks ,medical Rx ) :
Inflammatory condition involve

paranasal sinuses and nasal passages

2010;125:S103-

Symptoms of CRS
4 major symptoms (≥ 2 , to make Dx )
(≥
• anterior, posterior, or both mucopurulent
drainage
• nasal obstruction or blockage
• facial pain, pressure, and/or fullness
• decreased sense of smell

• Sinus surgery usually required
• Usually have nasal polyps and
immunocompetent
• Pathophysiology :chronic, allergic
inflammation directed against colonizing
fungi

2010;125:S103-

Pathophysiology
• Basement membrane thickening, goblet
cell hyperplasia, subepithelial edema,
mononuclear cell infiltration in CRSsNP
• 31 untreated CRSsNP, <10% Eos (overall
CRSsNP, <10%
mean 2%)
• 123 untreated nasal polyp, 108 showed
>10% Eos (overall mean 50%)

• Tissue eosinophilia not hallmark of
CRSsNP


Pathophysiology
• Typical cytokine pattern
CRS : high IFN-γ, elevated TGF-β
IFNTGFCRSsNP : IL-1β, TNF-α, IL-8
ILTNF- ILCRSwNP : high IL-5, low TGF-β

Comorbidities and associated
conditions
• Allergic rhinitis ( 60% of CRS ,perennial )
60%
• Immunodeficiency
( hypogammaglobulinemia 12% of adults with CRSsNP )
12%

• GERD
• Defect in mucociliary clearance

( cystic fibrosis

and primary ciliary dyskinesia )

• Viral infection (role of viral infection in CRS is
controversial )

2010;125:S103-

Comorbidities and associated
conditions
• Systemic disease

(presenting feature of WG or CSS,

sarcoidosis )

• Anatomical abnormalities

( nasal septal
deviation, concha bullosa deformity, paradoxical curvature
of middle turbinate )

• AERD and Asthma

(20% CRS have asthma ,2/3 of
20%

Diagnosis
Nasal endoscopy
• discolored mucus or edema in middle
meatus or sphenoethmoidal recess
Sinus CT scanning
• sinus ostial narrowing or obstruction
• sinus mucosal thickening or
opacification, airopacification, air-fluid levels
Evaluated for allergy
• CRS associated with AR adults (60%)
(60%)
and children (36-60% )
36-60%
2010;125:S103-

Treatment
Topical corticosteroid nasal sprays
• Recommended for all forms of CRS
• Beneficial effects on nasal and sinus
pain
Antihistamines
• Helpful in allergic rhinitis

2010;125:S103-

Treatment
Antibiotics
• Used to treat infection if nasal purulence
present (acute exacerbation)
Antifungals
• Indicate only in invasive forms of sinus
mycosis or immunocompromised host

2010;125:S103-

Treatment : CRScNP
• Oral corticosteroids (10-15 days) shrink
10nasal polyps
• Topical corticosteroid nasal sprays
recommended to prevent recurrence of
nasal polyps, although not always effective
• Antileukotriene agents
not FDA approved for treatment of nasal
polyps
• Sinus surgery in severe polyposis

2010;125:S103-

Treatment : AERD
• Might benefit from aspirin desensitization
and daily aspirin therapy

2010;125:S103-

Treatment : AFRD
• Sinus surgery establish diagnosis, remove
inspissated mucus and restore sinus
patency
• After surgery nasal polyps, oral
corticosteroids 0.5 mg/kg/day with
gradual tapering dose to control symptoms
• Topical corticosteroid nasal sprays to
control inflammation and prevent
recurrence of nasal polyps

2010;125:S103-

Indications for sinus surgery
• Persistence of CRS symptoms despite
medical therapy
• Correction of anatomic deformities
• Debulking of advanced nasal polyposis
