چکیده

OBJECTIVE To demonstrate the long-term efficacy of intranasal furosemide, an inhibitor of the sodium chloride cotransporter channel at the basolateral surface of the respiratory epithelial cell, vs no therapeutic intervention vs intranasal mometasone furoate, a corticosteroid, in preventing relapses of chronic hyperplastic sinusitis with nasal polyposis. DESIGN Randomized prospective controlled study. Patients were examined every 6 months during follow-up (range, 1-9 years). PATIENTS One hundred seventy patients with bilateral obstructive or minimally obstructive chronic hyperplastic sinusitis with nasal polyposis. INTERVENTION All patients were surgically treated in the ENT Department, University of Siena Medical School. One month after surgery, group 1 patients (n = 97) started treatment with intranasal furosemide, group 2 (n = 40) received no therapeutic treatment, and group 3 (n = 33) were treated with mometasone. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Clinical and instrumental evaluation of postoperative outcomes. RESULTS Seventeen (17.5%) of 97 patients in group 1, 12 (30.0%) of 40 patients in group 2, and 8 (24.2%) of 33 patients in group 3 experienced nasal polyposis relapses. We noted a prevalence of early-stage relapse in patients treated with furosemide or mometasone, whereas patients who did not receive any treatment experienced more severe grades of chronic hyperplastic sinusitis with nasal polyposis (P<.005). CONCLUSION Use of intranasal furosemide represents a valid therapeutic treatment in the prevention of chronic hyperplastic sinusitis with nasal polyposis.

Surgical treatment of nasal polyposis in patients with aspirin intolerance.

It is not fully understood why humans possess paranasal sinuses and for many years there has been speculation as to their physiological significance. Much the same uncertainty holds true for the pathophysiology of chronic paranasal sinusitis, a disease which represents a major therapeutic challenge despite recent medical and surgical progress. 3 There are probably several distinct subtypes of c...

The Impact of Chronic Sinusitis

health care impact. This review focuses on factors contributing to sinusitis pathogenesis and chronicity, including anatomic factors, disturbances in mucociliary clearance, microbial pathogens, and inflammatory factors. A distinction is made between “infectious” and “noninfectious” types of inflammation in chronic sinusitis. The inflammatory characteristics of noninfectious inflammation are rev...

Diagnosis of Allergic Fungal Rhinosinusitis

Background: Allergic fungal sinusitis is a non-invasive disease, and accounts for approximately 6-8% of all chronic sinusitis requiring surgical intervention. As the treatment and prognosis of these disorders vary significantly, it is extremely important to recognize allergic fugal sinusitis and differentiate it from chronic sinusitis of bacterial and fungal origin. This prospective study evalu...

Genetic polymorphisms in chronic hyperplastic sinusitis with nasal polyposis.

OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS Although many proinflammatory cytokines have been identified in nasal polyp tissue, the initial trigger that causes this inflammation characterized by edema, lymphocytosis, and eosinophilia, is still unknown. The purpose of the present study is to identify the presence of genetic polymorphisms in proinflammatory, anti-inflammatory, and chemokine genes that might contribute...
