چکیده
In this chapter, we examine the chronic inflammatory diseases of the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses. First, we examine the basic characteristics of the various chronic inflammatory diseases of the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses and chronic inflammatory diseases of the oral cavity. Further, we discuss the etiopathogenesis, diagnosis, differential diagnosis, and treatment options for the various conditions. The chapter is aimed at helping gain some insight into the current views regarding chronic inflammatory conditions of the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses as well as the oral cavity.
